The Online Home of Valli Hilaire
So I have a new theme song. The title of this entry comes from the song “Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex” by CSS. It’s the song Apple used in those new iPod Touch commercials. I am absolutely in love with it! Best song in the world to describe my relationship with music.
So speaking of music, there’s a lot to cover. First off, the 80s are back people. Yes and it’s all good stuff. Blake Lewis, who was a contestant on American Idol, released his first CD “Audio Day Dream.” It of course has all of his beat boxing stuff, but there are some really good tracks. I dig the slow stuff like “End of the World” and “I Got U.” I hate the fact that he uses letters sometimes instead of actual words, but whatever, this isn’t about spelling.
On the other side of the 80s slant is a band called Metro Station. I got one of their songs for free during that iTunes/Starbucks promotion where they gave everybody one free song for like a month. Their CD is self-titled and I highly recommend the songs “Shake It,” “Kelsey” and “Wish We Were Older.” There are other good ones too but those are my current faves.
I literally just downloaded “In Your Eyes” Sara Bareilles’ live cover of the Peter Gabriel song. It’s soooo good. I love Sara, she has such a great, strong voice.
What else, what else. Oh, young male singers. Matt Wertz is just awesome. I heard one of his songs during the credits for the movie “My Super Ex-Girlfriend.” I didn’t even see the movie itself. Anyway the song was “Everything’s Right” and it seriously just made me melt. You immediately want to get in your car and drive down the coast. Ok, so that’s Matt and then there’s this other guy Jonathan Clay. I don’t have his CD yet but I plan on getting it ASAP.
In other news…
I finished my move into my mom’s place. As you can imagine there were a ton of mixed feelings about the whole thing. On one hand there’s this big relief to not be in that lame apartment complex anymore and the whole reason why I’m doing this is for the NASCAR project next year. But then on the other hand it’s like “ugh, I’m back living at home and I’m 27!?” There’s this weird sense of failure even though I know I haven’t failed. It’s just awkward and I really don’t want to be in this position for very long.
As hard and awkward as it’ll be to explain this project to my employer it’s what I have to do. I can’t wrap my head around all of the crazy things that happen at work and I really don’t want to.
My new focus is on trying to revamp the layout of The Fast and the Fabulous. I still need to get the whole photographer thing locked down and figured out. I really want great photos of me, finally!
Anywhoo, I’m heading home. Merry Christmas.
