HANSON IS AWESOME.


I am returning after a long hiatus from the blog-o-sphere to express my utter heartbreak over not getting to meet Hanson yesterday. I may have mentioned the my college tuition is provided by many years of scooping ice cream at my family's summer ice cream business- which happens to be a Ben and Jerry's. It just happens to be the Ben and Jerry's on Main St in Hyannis which is where HANSON WAS YESTERDAY. Where was I? Oh ya at my grown up job in Boston. EPIC FAIL. How could this happen to me. The moment I have been waiting for my whole life passes me by due to the conventional restraints of society that scooping ice cream at 22 is not considered a "real job". While everyone else was swooning over N*SYNC AND BSB I was drooling over the original Boy Band. Look at the Jonas Bros they are such sell outs however it is the same formula that Hanson used and the Jonas' sound like chicks. If Disney had gotten their hands on Hanson it would have been a whole other story. But instead Hanson stayed true to themselves and their music.

I had to go buy another Middle of Nowhere CD back in the day because my original was listened to so much it started to skip. And yes I also had the Tulsa, Tokyo, and the Middle of Nowhere home video on VHS- and yes I still have it. They still are in main rotation on my ipod with their newer albums and those newer songs never disappoint. I actually remember being in Ben and Jerry's playing their albums and when people would ask this is good who is this- I could proudly reply Hanson- to their utter astonishment.

I also blame HANSON for my obsession with boys with long hair to this day. It is their fault however I'm not upset about it. Now they are all married with kids killing all my chances of becoming a MRS. HANSON one day.


I will be heading to the Cape tonight where Hanson will be playing at the Melody Tent, sadly I don't have tickets- I don't even know if there are tickets left, even sadder who the hell would go with me- you know actually if I found tickets I would find a wing man. I went last time they were in Hyannis at the Melody Tent and Frankie Muniz was there for some strange reason he came up to my elbow.

UGH... HANSON I love ya, hope you enjoyed your ice cream.

Uncle Jesse is NOT a perv...but if he was, I would be ok with it.

Thanks to Miss Elissa for sending me this link, followed by a classic rant:

This bitch should riot in hell for her lies.... I find her story hard to believe, especially since the FBI found no such photos of him doing coke, etc. but ya know what? Even if he did, I DON'T CARE! How dare you try to extort money from him...... HE'S UNCLE JESSE!

Also, another reason why I'm not buying it, "She said Stamos offered to perform oral sex on Coss, but she declined"
Um......... What? Did I read that correctly? Declined? As in.... said 'no'???.... Who does that? Who gets offered oral or any other kind of sex form John Stamos and says no? LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I agree. Sex, LIES, and dumb bitches who need to keep their mouth shut.

New Music Discoveries...yay!

I love new music discoveries. The appropriately titled band Discovery is a side project of Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend and Wes Miles of Ra Ra Riot. This is their LP and it's fabulous. Their sound is best described as if Ra Ra Riot's driving electric beats and Vampire Weekend's preppy rock got together and had a love child, this cd would be the fruit of their loins. I recommend playing it with sunglasses on and the volume turned up. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. Just a sample below..but the rest of the cd is amazing as well. Happy listening, babies.

Top 5 Best Songs According to Me

A lazy Friday afternoon redownloading all of my music, on limewire...which aided in my computer's destruction the first time. Oh well. I'll take the risk for free music. Anyway, today's topic may be discussed, argued for or against, or (if you have good taste) agreed upon. A list of my top 5 favorite songs.

5. Weezer- The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)



The first time I ever heard this song I literally freaked out due to sheer awesomeness, and again at their concert. Just try to listen to this song and not get pumped up. I suggest loud volume and a sing along to bring out its real potential.

4. Muse- Map of the Problematique


Another song that just gets you really pumped up. I always feel like I am on some sort of epic journey when this song plays, even if I'm just on my way to the store. Plus what Muse does with their guitars and drums makes me melt. It's an awesome combination of beautiful lyrics and a hard driving rock beat. Perfection.

3. Dave Matthews Band- Two Step


Among many other great DMB songs, this one just sticks with me. The lyrics are beautiful and since Dave Matthews is a creative genius, the different versions of this song being played live are always more exciting than the last. Let's not forget about the message. Life is short. Let's make it a celebration, and dance.

2. Lady Gaga- Just Dance


This song is it for me. Sung by my favorite pop artist since NSYNC, collaborating pop and dance music with fun and catchy lyrics. And it's about being drunk! This song is going to be played at my wedding, birth of my children, and funeral. Yes, Lady Gaga. You have it right. Just dance. Gonna be ok. Da da do do just dance!

1. Journey- Don't Stop Believin'


If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times. This is the best song ever made. Period. A rock anthem that will live way beyond its years, Don't Stop Believin' is perfection in every way. Besides the obvious catchiness and lyrics that you can't help but to sing along to, this song will be popular because it is accessible in so many ways. Whether you listen to it at work, or while you're out, listen to it to cheer yourself up, or listen to it when you're already feeling good. This song will always just get you going. Journey, you win with this song. The end.

And there you have it. If you have any songs that you think are amazing beyond all reason, please leave a comment. However, challenge me on my number one pick and you will be wrong. Don't Stop Believin' shouldn't just be my choice for the #1 spot, it should be for America, and quite possibly the world. Just sayin'.
