I can feel it calling in the air tonight..

Turns out the Zac Brown Band won't be at the DMB concert. Bummer, but Gov't Mule is opening for them and I've heard lots of good things. Definitely stoked.

So I'm a big movie fan, and I've noticed that a lot of big movies lately haven't had all that great of soundtracks. It's such a shame, I think, since good music automatically makes me like a movie at least 10% more. I mean, how many Linkin Park songs can you fit in one movie, Transformers? The only thing worse than a bad soundtrack, however, is an amazing one that doesn't include any of the songs from it on the CD...

Here's my list of top 10 movie soundtracks- in no particular order:

1. Garden State (Zac Braff is amazing)
2. Whip It
3. Clueless (Who doesn't love "Rollin' With The Homies?")
4. The Hangover (Great party music)
5. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Meatloaf? Yes, please!)
6. Sixteen Candles (OK, maybe I just love "If You Were Here"..a lot.)
7. O Brother, Where Art Tho?
8. High Fidelity (Jack Black even sings "Let's Get It On" at the end!)
9. Grease (And Grease II, but apparently no one else liked it except me & my sister. "Cool Rider" was one of my FAVORITE songs back in the day!)
10. The Graduate (Thank you, Simon & Garfunkel!)

..And as a former ultra Spice Girls fan, I feel the need to share the rumor going around that got me all excited. Supposedly there is a Spice Girls musical coming out, Mamma Mia-style.. Until it's confirmed, here's to wishful thinking! :)

I wanna be the one to put it in a song..

Cecelia, Barbara Ann, Amanda, Roxanne, Prudence, Maggie..

All names of women featured in amazing songs. Unfortunately "MacKensie" doesn't creep into love songs all that often... So I have decided that being a serial killer in "Mack the Knife" is better than wearing silver buttons all down my back, back, back.

I'm a journalism student at the University of Florida with a ridiculous obsession with music. I've been told I know the words to every song (don't be fooled, I make them up when I don't) and I am sure to have at least one favorite song from every genre. In this blog I will describe my passion for music by rambling on about the good, bad, new, old and every concert I lose my voice at--Two weeks ago I saw Rooney in Gainesville.. I totally screamed like a 12-year-old AND my friend caught both of the guitar picks tossed into the crowd. The other chicks were so pissed.

"Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side. She brings me a cake, we celebrate, I have arrived. And I know that it's been said before, but you're my human holiday. I put my hands on the table and dare say the love of my life."- Fun.

Enjoy!
