"Brilliant band. They have a unique and lovely sound."-youtube user

Do you know how to make Monday into Funday? With my music monday of course! 

SPOON

Spoon is an American indie rock band formed in Austin, Texas but now call Portland, Oregon home. The band is composed of Britt Daniel (vocals, guitar); Jim Eno (drums); Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals) and Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals).

About three years ago my Father (the music mastermind) discovered "I turn my camera on" by this group and I was instantly fond of their charming, indie, rock, bouncy, catchy, super, amazingly amazing sound. And then just recently I heard the song "Underdog" and it made such an impression I bought the music video off of itunes. Now- I want you to love them. 

Listen my friends.

Thanks. 

i want you to funk me, your battle ship has sunk me

i know when you read the title you didn't first think it said fuNk and you were about to give me a talking to like you were my mother. :] Gotcha. It actually is the lyrics to one of my recent obsessions. The Scissor Sisters came out with a new album that is as insane and pumpin' as their last. I love these guys. (yes they are men) Check them out.

But really gay men singing amazing songs is not what this post is for.

Actually it is to highlight the up and coming, world renowned, bigger that Big Boi (in steez and skills- not size): 

Mark Macey. 

he asked me to write this post dedicated to him (actually it was supposed to be about his fine ass, but i didn't have much to say and as an audience (which includes my parentals) i didn't think that was a superb choice. Agreed?) 

There is a lot to know about Mark Macey. 

1. if you google him: he wont show up- but a weight loss winner does and an older guy with grey hair who does earth science stuff
2. also a picture of Macy Gray. It is probably because they are friends on facebook and send twitter love messages at 3:00 am to each other every tuesday. She is his inspiration and his listens to her music while writing his hit rap lyrics and eating french toast.  
3. he is quite the stunning devil and has a vicious charm to capture women's heart with his sexually sarcastic completely honest but in a joking sense of a way. 
4. He once had a band called "Will Approve of Sound" with Max and Paul and it obviously was a big deal because a fan of it thought this was the most important thing to know about him. 
5. green is his favorite color. He likes it because it is the color of grass and also the color of bamboo- a plant that giant panda eats and Mark is a naturalist and all about saving the giant panda from extinction
6. he has hiked to the highest peaks and sat in a tent on the tip of mount everest and watched his favorite movie Dr. Strangelove 
7. he is so famous people just want to drink his urine out of Arizona cans 
8. Mark gets his dates by biting their pony tails, quite literally. Boys- it is the key to a successful relationship. It is like the a twist on the usual vampire/biting/hickey approach. 
9. This man is fascinated with B and D's and often reads Gravity's Rainbow while eating a double cheese burger fries and a shake with Nate on Monday mornings 
10. He once hypnotized a man eating beast in the land the leamers (Madagascar) by singing the lyrics to his favorite album Canopy Glow while wearing nothing but a leopard loin cloth. 
11. He has been to the sun and back without a space ship using nothing but his lyrical smash ups to guide his way through the stars
12. he never had an imaginary friend because he is in fact the most interesting man alive 
13. he is never embarrassed because. . . yeah i dont know why not
14. he impresses the ladies with a gold tongue and a bronze body (whatever that means) 
15. he wants to marry me
16. Mark is a talented actor who told the guys whose line it was on the hit show "Whose line is it anyways" 
17. this man plays guitar with his left toe nail while painting a picture and making out with a girl at the same time in under ten minutes
18. he was born into the cloth only to take it off
19. and grew up with fear in his heart
20. Mark was andie's first couch partner
21. and was Alex's first streaking partner
22. he was Bea's first senior creeper
23. he makes it a need to be peoples first mooning experience 
24. he was his first friend
25. He often chases crazy asians named joseph up hills pants less to help them keep in shape
26. Mark is all about the people
27. only 64 people like his fan page but that will soon change because Obama is president and is all about change- so is mark
28. Mark is an inspiration to all writers, rappers, dreamers, actors, singers, haters, lovers, dead and alive 
29. (this will be left blank to show emphasis to the last one)
30. There is no one like him. 

There you have it folks. Mark Macey in a nutshell. 

Here is a stunning shot of this rare creature in his natural habitat. 

Enjoy. 

musical tuesday: something to fresh your breath

So i have known this band for a while, listen to their songs like a drug addict, cried when i didn't get to go to their concerts, and thought of them every time i exited a restaurant and took a mint from the counter after having garlic in my meal, but it has come to my sad understanding that close to know one i know, knows about this wonderful group. (whew that last sentence is a mouthful) So i pleased to introduce to you:

Starlight Mints are a group of beautiful pop mutants (quite truthfully and said with complete respect.) The band consists of four oddballs/goofballs/geeks/nerds/sillypeople/whoconsistoftalent whose love for archetypal (i honestly don't know if that is the right word to use. I just like the sound of it and it was a vocabulary word from last year) pop music and AM radio has provided a rock-solid foundation for a whole bunch of inspired weirdness (but good weirdness.. but weirdness non the less.) 

Allan Vest (vocals/guitar), Marian Love Nunez (keyboards), Javier Gonzales (bass), and Andy Nunez (drums) began jamming together in the '90s, giving birth to their own funky brand of a heavily instrumental, surrealistically worded pop sound that people like me (hipsters) enjoy. I like to call it bubblegum psych- because it is so chewy and yummy and chaosy. It all adds up to something very grand: one marvelous piece of orchestrated, catchy surrealism after another. 


The band has released two albums, "the dream that stuff was made of" in 2000, and "built on squares" in 2003, combining classic string arrangements, cheeky boyish vocals, and a feel good vibe to bring a glossy, fresh sound to indie rock. I hope a new album is underway.. doubt it. :) 


Enjoy the music. 













Goodnight. xoxo :] 

i wish i had millions of dollars so i can buy all the songs i want from i tunes.

but i dont. so i get to listen them to youtube like the rest of the empty pocket souls out there and not on my traveling i pod so those songs can not travel with me where ever i want. I have a stomach ache. I have been sick all weekend. Growing older is hard. Your friends problems cant be solved with a princess band aid. Weekend was filled with too much food and beautiful sunsets. i love sunsets. School tomorrow. Joy. (that was said really sarcastically.) Goodnight.
