Video Killed the Radio Star

So, it's a video kind of day... I was looking for new music... I'm always looking for new music, it seems. Anyway, found all these things... lovely. Aaaand, since I'm slightly computer illiterate, they're all links instead of being videos. Ah well.

Coconut Records - Microphone: Hilarious video from Jason Schwartzman. Sometimes he bothers the hell out of me but then sometimes he's just so great and random... I also almost want a dog like that.

The Whitest Boy Alive - Burning: New band I stumbled across. Like the juxtaposition of black and white grainy and the music.

Chairlift - Bruises: Cute song.

The Kooks - Naive: Feel like I've heard this song before. Probably have heard this song before. Good beats but still a chillback song.

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days are Over: Reminds me of Guillermo del Toro somehow. Lovely song. Starts out slow but then gets into it and you feel like dancing. :)

Anyway, should get back to it. Supposed to be applying for jobs right now. Reckless has cut me down to part time hours so I need to either find another part-time job (maybe more feasible yet more stressful and annoying) or something career-y and full-time (what I'd prefer). Who knows.

Skating tonight for Louise's bday! Oh, and it snowed last night. Soggy soppy snowvember outside. I'll probably crunch over to Main St. later for distraction/amusement/entertainment/pictures?/coffee drinks. Oh, and I missed Morgan's bday dinner last night but I'd really like to kick this stupid cold and get back to running and riding and all that fun stuff.

So, I might (hopefully - fingers crossed!) be getting back into guiding for the Nordic Racers. Which means, I should really get back into training, which is totally doable as I'm not working a ton these days... need to haul out the ol' rollerskis and find a place to train though, which may be difficult.

Start of the latest training mix (in no apparent order). Seems to be a hell of a lot easier to run/ride/whatever when I have music in my ears vs the sound of my own breathing... go figure. :p

1. Love Grenades - Young Lovers (Sam Sparro Mix)
2. Gotye - learnalilgivinanlovin
3. Streetlab - NY Sound
4. The Sounds - Rock and Roll
5. Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
6. The Airborne Toxic Event - Does This Mean You're Moving On?
7. Metric - Black Sheep
8. Arcade Fire - Sprawl II
9. Mick Boogie - The Kickdrums ft. Curtains - I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night
10. Cut Chemist - Povo De Santo
11. The Black Keys - Tighten Up
12. FreeSol - Entertainers
13. K-Os - SheClipse
14. K-Os - I Wish I Could Believe

Y'know... just a start ;p
