Song of the Day
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24BdBpv0u_I]
Deadmau5 – Raise Your Weapon
I’m not really a fan of that whole scene, but I do think that the instrumental part in the first 1:30 of this song is beautiful.
Where have you heard this song? The second to last episode of Teen Wolf. Speaking of Teen Wolf, who watched the finale last night?!

***** Hey readers! Brace yourself – it was a big news day!
– The UK’s Daily Mail published a photo along with a headline naming the wrong Olsen twin. For most of their early lives (Ages 0-16,) I believed they were identical because they were always dressed alike, but these days I can tell the two of them apart within seconds. You don’t have to see it in their faces to tell who is who, but you will see it in the way that they are dressed. Need some help telling the fashion icons apart? Check out Fashionista for their guide here.

Music Spotlight: Oh Land
I caved in. I watched Teen Wolf last night on MTV and while I was watching, they just happened to feature one of my new favorite bands, Oh Land. While we’re on the honesty trail though, I guess I should admit that I’ve actually been watching Teen Wolf for a few weeks now…yeah. Anyways, Oh Land’s Nanna Øland Fabricius has a voice that grabs ahold of your attention and lures you in until you’ve gone through the whole album. We’ve all listened to CD’s in the past that we have decided in the end are made up of similar songs, but Oh Land’s self-titled album is nowhere near that. The first song that I listened to off the album initially after getting it was “Lean” and that song is entirely opposite of my favorite “White Nights,” and electronic tune “Voodoo.” Fabricius has the ability to produce songs that are eerie, sassy, and whimsical. That doesn’t mean that she is inconsistent, it simply means that the girl has range. I made Oh Land’s “Son of a Gun” the Song of the Day back in late Dec of 2010 and nearly seven months later, Fabricius is still dominating. She’s not going anywhere anytime soon so you might as well jump on the bandwagon now.
Favorite songs:
- Lean
- Son of a Gun
- White Nights
- Human
- Voodoo
- Break the Chain
- Perfection
- Rainbow
- We Turn It Up
- Wolf And I
Oh yeah the whole album is great.
