I'm really liking the new song and can't wait to see what comes next :) I'm mostly just tired these days haha. So close to finishing school up, but that's keeping me super busy. So, unfortunately, I haven't been to any concerts recently. I'm a little upset AWOLNATION won't be touring nearby this time around. How are you doing?

PVRIS was good, but we were pretty far away. I bet it was way better up close haha. I was a big fan of 30StM back in middle/high school and I still am a big fan of Muse haha. My roommate in undergrad got me rehooked on them. I've been listening to Machine by MisterWives a lot recently! That's awesome that you got to see them! I need to listen to the rest of their album. I've had a pretty good week so far. I hope you're having a good one also!

Totally thought I had replied like 3 months ago lol. Yeah I'm not on here much anymore either. I hope the jobs are going well though. And I hope you do get time to write in there somewhere. I got to see Muse a few weeks ago! And PVRIS and 30 Seconds to Mars opened for them. That was pretty cool. Muse has been on the to see list for a while now. I'm really liking the new Lorde album. The new Bleachers one is good too. And I've only listened to part of the new Halsey album, but I like what I've heard!

I made it back here a little bit quicker this time lol. I'm a little mad they don't notify you of shouts anymore. Yeah, the functionality has gone down quite a bit. I sort of like the visual appeal, but not over the lack of it working as well as it used to work. I am super jealous you've seen CHVRCHES more than once haha. One day I'll make it to one of their concerts. I'll admit I've never heard of Glen Hansard, but I'll have to check him out. Life has been super busy once again, of course lol. I'm in my third year of pharmacy school and it's definitely the busiest. It's probably why I'm never on here and why my music consumption has dropped. But anyway, I hope you're doing well. How are your writing plans going?

So apparently I haven't been on here in a very long time. Sorry for disappearing! I forgot how much they had changed! I finally got to go to some concerts semi-recently. I saw She Wants Revenge, who had this band Raw Fabrics open for them and I would definitely recommend checking them out. Also I finally got to see AWOLNATION! No upcoming concerts though. And I feel like school has gotten me so out of the music world loop.

Much better now :) Also, it looks like email notifications for shouts haven't returned! So i just found out CHVRCHES is playing here tonight and I can't go :( ahhhh. So not cool. I am really jealous of your recent concert trips lol. That is kind of crazy. Why are 12 yr olds listening to her?! So odd. I started listening to the new IRP the other day!

Well, I do live in the heart of Bible Belt. The area I live in is more progressive and educated than most places in the South, and a lot people, especially those that work on the army base, are not native Southerners. But it only takes one or two complaining parents with a stick up their ass to ruin everyone elses fun. Don't even get me started on Halloween. Or rather "Fall Festivals" where kids can't even draw a freaking Jack-O-Latern in their artwork cuz it's "satanic" 😖

So we to watch Gravity Falls during Fall Break camp last week, and the kids were 100% into it, and then this little girl said "My mommy doesn't let me watch Gravity Falls" and then another kid said "I'm not allowed to watch it either 😣. The dvd skipped in the first ep cuz it was scratched up library dvd, so I changed it to Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2. A few days later we were gonna try to watch Gravity Falls again cuz that's what the kids overwhelmingly voted on. I put it on and ten minutes into it, my supervisor quitely told me I had to turn it off cuz a parent told her it was like Family Guy. WTF? Some peope...😒

I watched a couple eps of Gravity Falls and I think it's really weird but in a good way. It's funny, I like it. I really like Of Monsters And Men too, btw. I'm finally listening to their new album now (I picked it up from the local library and ripped to my computer last week).

I've known about it since the Spring. I was told there was possibility of a few farewell shows, but now that looks unlikely :/

I watched Big Hero 6 at home last night and LOVED it. Parts of it were obviously very sad though. Most kids movies don't deal with death and loss. Not in a serious way at least. Like The Book of Life had death in it, but it wasn't really serious. I loved that movie as well, but found Big Hero Six more touching.

I've never seen Coraline, but I love The Corpse Bride. It's a little too dark for the kids at the center where I work though. But they could probably watch Hotel Transylvania for Halloween though. We're gonna watch Big Hero Six this friday, which I haven't seen yet but think I will enjoy. I have Howl's Moving Castle on DVD btw. I also like Spirited Away. Never seen Gravity Falls, but some kids were quoting from it and made me laugh so think I should check it out sometime. But first I feel like having a Pinky & The Brain marathon.

So how did like the movie Home? You've seen it right? I just watched it for the first time on friday and LOVED it. I laughed a lot and teared up a few times. I watch a lot of kids movies cuz I work with kids. Maybe you could recommend me some good lesser known ones since you're so into animated movies. Kids these days have ridiculously short attention spans and they've seen the newer big kids movies "a hundred times already" so I often try to find older (like stuff fom 80's and 90's) and more obscure movies for them to watch. Sometimes we even watch cartoons shows like Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain which I have a lot of on DVD cuz I freaking loved those shows when I was a kid. The humor in them is brilliant. Most kids cartoon shows now are just mind-numbingly stupid.

"Eventually"...hopefully that means soon. Ahhh I'm jealous! That'll be a good concert I'm sure. I just found out Purity Ring plays nearby on Thursday and of course I have an exam that night. I also looked up when Halsey will be here and it's the one weekend I'm out of town...I have bad timing lol. This is why I never get to go to concerts.

My scrobbling has been appearing to work properly now, but I guess that might be because they finished migrating the data. It still says beta in the image at the top so hopefully that means they're working on things still! Oh no! I would be really afraid of slipping and falling all of the time if I lived up north during winter. YES! I thought it would be good after hearing Ghost and a few others, but it far exceeded my expectations! I just discovered from an amazon prime music recommendation, Melanie Martinez. She's pretty good too.

I freaked out when it first switched over because it wasn't scrobbling everything or at least it didn't appear to be. The scrobbles later showed up. They definitely shouldn't have started the site as mandatory until everything was working properly. Oh well. Hopefully everything is all functional soon. We had like a few hours of rain when it went through lol. Everyone was freaking out a few days before because they said it was going to come right through my area. I lived through enough storms to know when to believe them. It was rather silly. Yeah, snowstorms probably aren't much fun up there.

And now for something completely different, here's an upbeat indie rock song with cool 60's vibe (sounds like Franz Ferdinand mixed with The Beatles, and I dig that)- The Go- "You Go Bangin' On" http://youtu.be/41IDXG_AxBk

Shit I just accidently deleted the shout I left you. Anyways I haven't heard of any of those artists you mentioned, but I'm not really into "happy" music when I'm feeling frustrated and fed up with the world and all it's bullshit, which is most of the time. I don't listen to much slow, depressing music, but I just like my music to have certain edge to it. I can't stand too many songs about how great everything is. I just can't relate to that kind of relentless optimism. Here's the kind of thing I like to listen to after a long, hard day- Language Arts Crew- "9 to 5" http://youtu.be/YNa_l-mEI9s

I've been discovering a lot of new music I'd love to send recs for but new Last.fm only lets me post recs to twitter and FB apparently, not to other members on here. So I'll just throw some artists at you in this shout- John The Conqueror, Black Pistol Fire, St. Paul & The Broken Bones (similiar to Alabama Shakes), JD McPherson, Vintage Trouble, All Them Witches, Rival Sons, Blues Pills, Benjamin Booker, Henry's Funeral Shoe, Buffalo Killers. These are mostly blues rock and stoner rock, but lately I've also been listening to a lot of rap, mostly 90's and underground stuff. And trip-hop, electro-swing, and country. You know I like to mix it up.

So I haven't been on here in a week and it looks like nothing has changed. They're still "migrating data"...hmm. I really wanted musical compatibility back. How else will I know if someone has awesome taste in music? Those are the people I'll usually look to for recommendations. And yeah, no emails here either :/ In other news, it's a typical day here in florida with the remnants of a tropical storm/hurricane coming to get us lol. No surprises there.

Hey, I know it's been agess, but how you been girl? New Last.fm is kinda...ugh, but it is what it is. I do like how the recommendations are a little different everytime I look at them. I've discovered a few new artists I really like cuz of that, but there's a lot that still needs work and features I wish they'd bring back. So I see you've listened to Alabama Shakes new album. I love it. They are from a town very close to me actually. I should have seen them live before they got big, but I hardly get out except to go to work. And I work too much, but sadly have little money to to show for it. Bills bills bills.

Yeah, I kind of like the layout itself, but the functionality is kind of meh, because of the lack of the sidebar. I miss that a lot too. Oh, cool. That's awesome. My brother was just on a med school rotation up in that area. I live in Florida right near the beaches and never go lol. I'm a terrible Floridian haha. If I remember correctly, the openers were Cults and Ahmir, which was essentially a boyband lol, but their voices were very unexpected. One of their members was this rather large black guy who had one of the best voices I'd ever heard. At the time they didn't have much of their own music yet. So lots of covers and such, but good. They're apparently big on youtube, though I hadn't heard of them before that time.

That's the worst part of trying to find a job you'll like; they all need experience and you can't get experience until you get a job. Stupid. They almost force you to do some sort of internship first before you can find a real job and a lot of them don't pay anything, which sucks. That festival sounds awesome, though! I hope you enjoy it! :D Is this the first music festival that you've gone to?

Aw, darn :/ Well I'm sure your luck will turn around eventually. Okay! I will definitely get it then :) yeah lol, I used to listen to green day and MCR all of the time. I hadn't listened to them in a while though. Tear In My Heart has become one of my favorite songs. It's so good. Matt & Kim has been one of my favorite bands since I learned about them a few years ago. So I was excited when that came out. Probably one of their best albums. Certainly beats the last one.

I haven't been on here in a couple of weeks! yikes. I hope the job hunt is progressing well. And back a month ago I'm pretty sure I was also listening to the new Nate Ruess album. I still need to get the MisterWives album. I have their EP though. Right now I randomly decided to listen to old favorites (Green Day and My Chemical Romance). Not sure why but its happening lol. Other than that the new Twenty One Pilots is excellent and I cannot stop listening to it. Also the new Matt & Kim album is really good.

Well I hope you get a full-time job! Even with a college education, it seems stupid hard to find a good job. It sucks that sometimes you have to settle for crappy ones even though you spent so much time and effort making sure you didn't have to do that. That's good that you get paid even when you make some mistakes because it seems almost impossible to avoid making mistakes with that type of thing. Umm, I've been listening to a lot of twenty one pilots lately and I've been kicking myself for not listening to them sooner, haha. I'm always late when it comes to discovering bands. What about you?

Aw, that sucks that it's over for the summer! Will you be able to do it next summer? And dang, the freelance writing sounds like it would be super stressful if they add all of those strict rules on it. The research sounds fun, though, especially since the topics seem so diverse. I can definitely see the similarities between Muse and Joywave, but I haven't listened to Portugal. The Man yet... I've been meaning to for a while, so I guess I should get on that, haha.

Thanks! :) The summer camp job sounds really fun! Do you enjoy the freelance writing/ research? What kind of things are you researching? And yesss! Joywave is awesome! I haven't really been able to find anything else that really sounds like them, which I guess is kind of a good thing, but I want more! haha

And yeah, I can already tell that this last year will move by fast, especially since I'm struggling to figure out what I even want to do once I graduate.

I have somehow managed to keep my summer even more busy than my school year. I don't know how I manged that. Anyway, I hope you I have already gotten one of those positions or will be getting one of them. They sound like a step in the direction you want to go. Any new music you're really liking?
