Music Rant

"Hello. My name is Suzy and I'm a Plushgun addict."

Yes. I love Plushgun and listen to them everyday. My morning drive to work is strictly Plushgun time. In the afternoon's I've been rotating The Ting Tings and The Heavy.

But right now I'm all about Plushgun music. I can't recall where I first heard them. I know it was on one of my music searches, but where? I don't know. All I know for SURE is that I certainly didn't hear them on the Puerto Rican radio. I hate the radio stations here. Ok, hate is a strong word. A better one would probably be, dislike. Anyone who knows me knows I am not a fan of Reggaeton. I can't stand it and that's pretty much what every station plays. It's infiltrated and taken over the airwaves, fashion and culture. Even the so-called "American" music station had to add it to their rotation because they were losing listeners. Sure there are rock stations, but any time I tune in, they're flooded with advertisements or some older rock. So I typically don't even bother with the radio. Hmmm, maybe "hate" was the correct word.

I'd be a happy camper if more of what I liked was readily available to the island masses. Of course, I can't see some hardcore Reggaetonero jamming out to Plushgun :) But at least the option would be there. And don't get me started on the concert movement here!!! I can sum it up in one word: Horrible.

Lykke Li and Plushgun

Since christmas vacation started I've spent it watching a ton of movies. I'll list them on a later post because vacation isn't over and so there are more movies to be watched.

I did take a couple of days break from movies and switched over to music. I usually do a better job of keeping up with my music, but time and energy were focused elsewhere these past couple of months. So, in my music search (that led to Dirty Habits), I found these two gems: Lykke Li and Plushgun. I don't know what to make of Lykke Li yet. All I know is that her videos are wacked out which I love. Her video for "I'm Good, I'm Gone" is freaky and feels like it's something out of my dreams. Those who know me and read my dream journal know what I'm talking about. Plushgun is a delight. I love their sound and felt really bad for the car Brittany Snow destroys in the video....poor car!

Lykke Li - I'm Good I'm Gone

Plushgun - Just Impolite

Last Minute Details

2008 is coming to a close. Do you have any resolutions for 2009?

I resolve to not make resolutions :)

I actually wouldn't mind going to bed right now. Last night I stayed up till 5:30am finishing up an overdue project. Nothing to do with work or anything like that. See, for a few years now, we (we being my college friends) have made a mix cd for halloween or some other event. I've made the last 3 cd's. It's pretty time consuming. Because of that I hadn't had time to do it 2 months ago, but I REALLY wanted to do it before the year was out. So, I took a couple of days off from my movie obsession and dedicated myself to getting it done.


I finished it all last night, or this morning actually. Here's the track list:
1. Common - Universal Mind Control
2. Busta Rhymes Ft. Lil' Wayne, The Game & NAS - Don't Touch Me
3. John Legend Ft. Andre 3000 - Green Light
4. Estelle Ft. Kanye West - American Boy
5. Ludacris Ft. Cris Brown & Sean Garrett - What Them Girls Like
6. Robyn - Konichiwa Bitches
7. Hyper Crush - The Arcade
8. Pink - So What
9. Electrovamp - I Don't Like The Vibe In The VIP
10. LMFAO -Lil' Hipster Girl
11. Lady Gaga Ft. Colby O'Donis - Just Dance
12. Lauren Mason - Haterade
13. Black Milk - Give The Drummer Sum
14. Marco Polo Ft. Masta Ace - Nostalgia
15. Snoop Dogg Ft. Lil' Kim - Sensual Seduction
16. Jazmine Sullivan Ft. T.I. & Missy Elliott - Need U Bad
17. Mr. Evil & Sean Paul - Back It Up
18. Common - Sex 4 Suga
19. LMFAO - I'm In Miami Bitch

I'm happy it's done and now I'm tired.
