Today's weather was less than enjoyable. Rain, rain, and more rain. And cold, plus wind! UGH! And not to mention the fact that I'm nervous about the exam I took Tuesday. UGHHHHH need to clear my mind and focus on writing 15 page papers. Here we go. Let me feel human again...
Civil Twilight's "Human"
And staying on the theme of human stuffs, here's a Japanese song for you. K's "Only Human" off the 1 Litre of Tears soundtrack. 1 Litre of Tears is a Japanese drama or jdorama. It's the saddest drama series you will ever watch if you watch it.

NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT! Came out yesterday if Wikipedia is up-to-date and valid. You know the whole credibility issue despite its convenience, I'm sure.
Flyleaf's Memento Mori is out. If you liked their first album, I can easily say that this one is just as good. Lacey's vocals have only gotten better. Maybe the married life has done her good? Who knows? She's as cute as ever and equally as talented.

The song that started it all for Radiohead. Thom Yorke refuses to sing it ever again at concerts or when requested, which is kind of sad since I'll never ever get to see it actually performed, but I guess I've somewhat come to terms with it. I just really want to see "Nude" performed live now. *sighs* I've seen the video recording on youtube and was so moved that well...I so badly want to see it for myself.
Right, on to the video posting for today. I'm really feeling "Creep" today. I'm not depressed or anything, but having to write a stupid book review while suffering from back pains is kind of a downer. And today is so nice. It's sunny and partially warm.
I loved this video. I think it pretty much explains everything in the song.
P.S. Still working on the appearance of the blog. I need to make a cool header and stuff, so just wait for it, I guess.

"You just can't do anything about it." It's so true, sometimes you really can't do anything when it comes to things in the world or with ourselves for that matter.
Really, if you haven't heard Thom Yorke's solo album, I suggest you do if you're a fan of Radiohead or their latest album, In Rainbows.
Another favorite off his album. I didn't know this had a video...

It's kind of sad that no one comments on my posts, but I suppose that can't be helped. This blog must not be that interesting. *sniffles* Very well. All I can do is carry on.
So today's post is for the cover of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work". Sung by a man, gosh, it's moving and soothing. I can't stop listening to this:
I hope you like it, and that it moves you just as it does me. Incredible. Also check out Maxwell's new album, BLACKsummers'night.

I just deleted a heck of a lot of people off my friends list on Facebook and I've never felt better! It's not that I don't like the people, but it's like there's really no personal connection there that gives me an obligation to keep them as a friend, you know? Sure, I could network and all, but seeing all those updates that I don't care about and having to "hide" everything, it gets way too tedious. So, with that done for the day (though I'll probably delete more), I'm turning a new leaf this autumn with a list of friends who've meant something to me at some point and still actually care to keep in touch.
Here's a fitting song:

I don't know about you, but I find the songs and artists that can calmly put you to sleep are powerful. I don't think just about anyone can do that. It's not sleep due to boring lyrics or tedious instrumentals, but how they play with your emotions to allow you a peaceful night's rest.
