Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce
There aren't words to describes the raging awesomeness that is this song. Bonus backward filming too! And sooooo much hair.

Now is the time....
I know, I know...I'm awful. I skipped the weekend countdown. Honestly I thought about it both days, but just didn't get up the give-a-shit to do it. So I'll make it up to you today by catching up with those songs.
We are gonna work our way up in awesome rockness.
Bye Bye Blackbird by Joe Cocker
But we're gonna start off slow with a good bluesy tune. This song reminds me of what childhood should be, or was. Like when my dad was a kid in the 50's. When a good Sunday was sitting in the backyard chasing bubbles. After school you didn't watch tv, because there were only three stations and your parents watched them. Kids actually played with each other and got out of the house and did stuff. We are so lazy these days. Even in the 80's and 90's teens would go hang out at the mall, but with online shopping that's way cheaper there is no point in going to the mall, unless it's an emergency or an absolute necessity that you can only find at the mall (which is ridiculous, you can get anything online). I feel like in a way the generations now are completely fucked. By the time I want to retire there will be no social security and I highly doubt I'll have a pension. It sounds like a really bad thing. People will have to work until they are practically dead. At the same time, the people who got this country started didn't have pensions and social security. It wasn't even a thing then! They were self-starters, motivated, financially savvy. Future generations will have to channel these kinds of people and become them. No one is going to help them survive. I'm not one to predict what will happen with any type of accuracy, but it seems pretty legitimate that the baby boomers are going to clean out social security. Thanks. At the same time, the government hasn't really protected it the way they should have. Dipping into it for this, that and the other. Shame on you! Why the hell am I paying into something I'll never even get to have!
Don't Speak by No Doubt
Not a lot to say, but glad the 90's fashion is over. It really rears its ugly head in this video.
No One Knows by Queens Of The Stone Age
Gotta love Dave Grohl! This song just has a straight up funky beat that makes you want to jam.
Coming Down by Five Finger Death Punch
Here is an extra as an apology for missing the weekend. I know that it just screwed all of you up on the inside something fierce. This song is hardcore along with it's video. I'd say it even has some controversial imagery. But that's what music is all about. I love the animated portion! It's so bitchin! Never underestimate the power that one person has to change everything by just not walking away from a strange circumstance. Remember, no one (who is a gamer) in their right mind would give away their gaming system unless it was completely busted (even then).
Check out other Five Finger Death Punch, they have a good sound.
Good news! My art professor from college finally responded and she still has my art portfolio! I've been thinking about taking some art classes at Univ of Co Denver and this will help me.
Not much longer and I'll be back to my normal, rambling, deep thinking self. It's almost August after all.
Stagnantly,
Mav

Club Love by The Cataracs
This song makes me want to dance. I enjoy the video too. I like to daydream about being a wildling sometimes and being war painted up. And I felt they did the club scene very tastefully. It was cool, but not overdone.
Here's another Cataracs song just for fun featuring Dev. I love music videos like this one. They make me smile, because it shows just how normal everyone is. Also, Niles "Cyrano" Hollowell-Dhar is hot.
Sunrise by the Cataracs featuring Dev
Here's an update. I hate work, but I've never been contacted by the zoo and I don't think I will. So I just relooked at this place in Colorado called Crow Canyon where I can do another dig. I do love archaeology. It's just a two month program and it's paid so I really don't think I can go wrong going for it. And the more experience I have the more distant digs I could do. I could just join on with a company and become an archaeologist by default. But that is something I don't want to jinx, so I don't expect anything. But I will probably do this Crow Canyon thing the first year I am in Colorado, because I don't want to get too settled into a job or anything before I do.
Contemplatively,
Mav

Hello, fellow individuals!
Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers
This song is one of my absolute favorite songs. It's so haunting. I love the strings. This is the original version with some pictures of Bill. I'm also going to put the live version on here. It's still really good quality, and it gives you an idea of what he looks like when he sings. Also, the drummer's smiling face is kind of hilarious.
Ain't No Sunshine Live
My movie of the week is Soul Kitchen.
This trailer is a bit deceiving. It makes it look like a comedy, but it's really not what I would categorize as a comedy. It has some very funny moments, but overall its more of a shits hitting the fan and crazy shenanigans movie. If that even makes sense. It is a German movie, and it is completely subtitled. But I love Adam Bousdoukos. The movie is extremely satisfying and you will cringe and be angry and elated with the characters. Check it out. It's on Netflix.
Got another song for you.
Don't Go by Fefe Dobson
Some of you may remember her, or still love her. She's all punk now, and doing soundtracks for tv and movies. She's really fun and this song makes me laugh. Me and my brother used to listen to it and be silly and dance and just laugh and laugh. And! Check out her boyfriend in this vid is Drake Bell. The only time he was every truly attractive (when he didn't say anything). Whatever happened to him?
Genuinely,
Mav

Cinder and Smoke by Iron & Wine
I love Iron & Wine. They have such a smoky sound that just wisps through your mind filling up all its recesses with emotion. This song is no exception. I've uploaded one of their songs before (Upwards Over the Mountain) and I heard this one the other day as I was exploring them and just fell in love.
Whimsically,
Mav

Walk Idiot Walk by The Hives
How much you wanna bet they got the idea of this video while playing scrabble? I really love this song. It's really jammin, and it's kind of a classic to me. Not just the suits, but a music video where they are actually playing the song, held inside of one room where some weird stuff happens. This song would be pop up video material easily! For all his strangeness (like looking like my friends idiot roommate) Pelle Almqvist has a great voice (and his life clearly has more direction than said roommate's). It's clear and strong and noteable. So check out the vid and try not to have just another monday monday.
Unwaiveringly,
Mav
PS: If you want a good youtube playlist for work maybe or cleaning the house check this out!
