Ahh so exams are over, and I am back home once more. Actually, I finished last week but I was sooo busy moving I haven't had time to do anything. But anyways, now that I am back home and out from under the rock otherwise known as university, I have come to realize how sheltered I am from the world. The longer I am away at school, the less in-touch with the world I am hahaha! Or perhaps I am more in-touch with the issues that matter.
Anyways, apparently Miley Cyrus is the news these days. I think I've heard of her before. Hannah Montana or something, right? Disney show? Is it like the Amanda Bynes show? Or like All That? It looks like all the kiddies are into it these days. But she's going for the triple threat now, eh? Music, Movies, TV. I may have heard her song before. I don't really listen to the radio that often. The only decent ones I had access to at school were a classic rock radio station--awesome as always, and a student-run (oldest in Canada actually) radio station which does not play top 100 music. So it's a lot of up and comers, and indie bands, which I'm totally cool with. Otherwise I use CBC Radio 3, which just kicks so much a-s--and again, it's mostly up and coming acts, but there are some big Canadian names there too.
Anyways, my younger siblings think I'm really behind. Looks like these Jonas Brothers are the next Hanson or something. Ha! Oh Hanson. Three brothers, band, fit the bill for the current mod musical stylings? Check, check and check. Hanson was grungy-rocky-pop-y; and The Jonas Bros, who I heard for the first time a couple days ago, are more Maroon 5-y-JTish-super slick-over styled and coiffed to teen dreamboat perfection...I guess. I saw their music video yesterday too. It opened up with one of the bros rocking out to a tambourine. You Go Girl! But I figure what harm can they do really? I mean, give them their time in the sun, once their balls drop it's all over anyways. But I mean I've been hearing their names here and there a lot, even last year. I just had no idea why. I assume they are big news in the States--and hey, I'm a border town, so I hear these things too. But wow. They've racked up Beatles-esque fanfare with the insanity some people approach them. It's a little unnerving. Then again, I suppose I was the same with NSync and Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls. Hahaha. The same deal with those High School Musical kids. Oh god. I watched the one Zac Efron video on You Tube where he does his solo song and dance? Hilarity to the max. It was so embarrassing. I almost couldn't finish it the first time. But it was funny.
Oh, you know what is funny? Flight of the Conchords! I LOVE THEM. Look them up on You Tube or something hehehe. I find myself babbling mindlessly, which is not unlike most of my 'blogs' but I've grown tired of it for now. I will be around. ![]()
