Early Morning Wake Up Call

I have no idea why Early Morning Wake Up Call is the title, seeing as I got up at approximately 11 a.m. this morning. I guess I was just looking through song titles on iTunes, and I really love the cover that The Hives did this summer. I have a feeling that I'm turning into a hipster... I'm so hipster that I talk to dead people before they're dead. I am insanely weird today. I was writing on my walls with pencil a few minutes ago, but I erased it. I was wondering: why doesn't the word "umlaut" have any umlauts????? What the hell! There is a new post up on my 'serious' blog about my day today. And a new look on Lookbook. I'm thinking about taking Swedish classes because I love the Swedes. I'm not allowed to get a unicycle!! Unless I pay for it with my own money, and I have none, so this may be a problem... Anyoo, this is enough rambling for one day...

REAL.

I've noticed that all so called "popular" music is fake, auto tuned crap that is not worth listening to and has no deep or meaningful or good lyrics. Well, most of it. Like bieber, katy perry, kesha, those types. And bands too. But here is my list of some of my favourite good music.
1. The Hives.
Okay, so they may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I freaking love them. I have an obsession. They are a Swedish punk-turned-rock n' roll band from a small town, and they are now very famous in Europe and quite famous in the US, but not really here in Canada.
Recommended: won't be long, but they have many different songs...

2. Arctic Monkeys.
British. You can't always tell what they're talking about in interviews, and one time, they came to an awards show dressed as characters from The Wizard Of Oz. Oh, and another time, they got a random dude to go up and accept an award for them.

3. Klaxons.
I think they do drugs. If they don't, then they are some seriously issued people. Good music though. They started wearing ugly sweaters just to get attention.
Recommended: golden skans

4. Black Keys.
Hipsters. I believe they are more famous, and they are very very awesome. Good music videos. Coming here soon.
Recommended: howlin' for you

5. The Clash.
They are very famous. I love them a lot. They are British. Old band. Yay. The singer has a lisp and some of The Hives' early music reminds me of them.
Recommended: white riot

6. Fratellis.
Stoner band. Insanely amazing dance music. Whenever it comes up on my iPod I can't help but listen to it.

7. Hellacopters.
Another Swedish band that is friends with The Hives. I've only heard about two of their songs, but they are Swedish and one of the guys has a white top hat, so they deserve to be on here.
Recommended: (gotta get some action) now!

8. Franz Ferdinand.
I know there are more bands, but I can't quite think of any, so I'm going to an old choice. They are Scottish and I saw them here with my mom and sister a couple years back. Pretty good show. They have a music video where one of them is riding in a washing machine, so it's definitely worth a listen.

9. Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Karen O is amazing. She has really cool style, though I think Hayley Williams from Paramore copies her. They are kind of an insane band. Lots of screaming. But I like it.
Recommended: dull life

10. White Stripes.
They are a two person band that I think recently broke up. They wore only black red and white. Meg and Jack White scare me because they are very pale. Aaaaahh. Good music though.
Recommended: seven nation army

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Because your face is messed up."

Saturday, April 16, 4:41 p.m.
Went shopping in The Village. I don't see why there are so many hipsters in Winnipeg. It's like a rat problem. Or like in futurama, where the city is infested with owls. I wonder if hipsters live in random people's houses for years without the people knowing. I think there's a bird in my house, or so my mom thinks. It might be a sparrow. "we won't do anything about it until their little babies have left home." this is what I have to live with. Anyways, The Village. There was a loud band playing at the record store, so we went to a different place for a bit. They really shouldn't drive their coustomers away like that. When we went back it was better. I should have had some of that free cake they had on the counter. But you can't always trust people in record shops. Drugs, you know. I bought an Elton John Duets cd, because there was a Little Richard duet on it... I love Little Richard!!! The Hives introduced me to him... And he was on Sesame Street singing the rubber duckie song. I've managed to go a day without pants... Don't worry, I have tights and shorts on. Phew.

THINGS I NEED AND WHY I NEED THEM.

Hi. Here's a list of a few things I need... some of them are material and some aren't, but just live with it.

1. A European penpal.
Okay, so I've just always wanted to have a European friend. Plus, it would be much easier to talk to them if they have no idea who the people are that I'm talking about, and they will never meet these people. I would prefer a penpal who speaks English... or else there would be a problem. Or I could learn Swedish.

2. Doc Martens.
Hipsters wear them. I am a hipster. Hence, I need a pair.

3. The Hives.
They need to come here. Or else. I will actually be very upset if they never come here because I will never get the chance to present them with the scarf a few of my friends and I are knitting... And, you know, they're just the BEST LIVE BAND IN THE WORLD.

4. Pants.
All of my pants or bottoms or trousers are in the wash right now, so I am without pants. Thus, an issue. Also, pants are kind of necessary in daily life. Unless you go to an all girls private school where you wear kilts every single day. Thank goodness I go to one of those.

5.  A Band.
I have always wanted to be in a Swedish rock n' roll band since I heard The Hives. But this is a problem, because:
    a) I am not Swedish
    b) I can only play Seven Nation Army on electric bassguitar, and
    c) I can't sing or scream.
But I can jump quite well... I injured my knee doing it.

6. More Clothing Items.
I usually use my sister's clothes, and she's moving out in a year or 2, so this could be an issue. Anybody wanna lend me a few million dollars? Thanks.

7. A Life Like Georgia Nicholson's.
I want a life like this girl in a British teen book series. Read it. 1st book is called Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging. Tis quite a splendid read.

I have a feeling that there were more things I needed to say...
Well, too bad. Oh, and I found some pants. Bring Chloroform.
