I dreamt of zombies last night. (And no, I haven't seen any zombie movies since I Am Legend, which was Christmas last year. Does Cloverfield or the trailer for Fringe count?) They wore a thin white film over their faces. The white film either came from their mouths when they changed or they grabbed it from somewhere. I can't remember. And the people around me became zombies rather randomly. It was some unknown trigger, but I don't know what, and that lack of knowledge is freaky. But it wasn't really a nightmare. Sure, it was a little scary, with the chasing and the running and the grabbing, but I wasn't really frightened out of my wits. Everything was just white. And green. There were trees and water. But not the murky humid kind. It was more of, ethereal. Yeah, zombies with white faces in a fairytale setting. Brain, what's up?

Oh Twilight fandom. While I'm not one of the pioneer fans, I like to think of myself as one of the earlier ones, before the fandom exploded with a million pre-teens. I got it for my birthday in February last year, and I brought New Moon a week later. I love the book for the guilty pleasures it offers, the innocence it invokes, and the epic love it represents. Now, maybe it's the hype surrounding RPrattz and KStew, maybe it's the fandom itself, I find Twilight... ridiculous. I've read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn, and my first impression was that it's funny. Cheesy-lame funny, not sweet-cute funny. Maybe I've been exposed to the glittery comments on ONTD for too many times. Before this August, I definitely need to shut off from the fandom (and hatedom), curl up with a cup of iced tea, and recapture the magic of Edward Cullen.

And is this me posting an album with every entry? I don't know. Do you want me to? Perhaps as penance for being missing for almost 6 months? There's just a whole bunch of new releases this year that I really want to share. The Submarines, Nada Surf, The National, The Weepies, The Raveonettes, etc. 2008 is a good year for music. I don't even know what my Album of the Year will be.

Rachael Yamagata - Loose Ends EP (2008)
I adore this woman. A lot. I saw her in concert last year, and she was beyond amazing. She has the uncanny ability to twirl complicated emotions into her raspy voice and exquisite lyrics. I've been looking forward to her new album for ages now. This EP serves as a preview to the new album, which I expect will be a splendid sophomore offering.

taking Rachael Yamagata, yay thank you!
Share The Submarines please please pretty please :D
(no subject)
No problem. Will do it when I get home. I had no idea you were a fan. And I assume you have their debut album and is asking for their new album, Honeysuckle Weeks?
(no subject)
omgz, lame, KILL ME NAU
And is this me posting an album with every entry? I don't know. Do you want me to?
hello Ms. Obvious! my name is Ms. Yes Duh.
KILL ME AGAINZ
(no subject)
Alright alright. I got it. =D
(no subject)
YAY music! I like when you're posting albums! And I snagged those songs you posted by Rachel way back when so I'm definitely taking this EP. Thanks!
(no subject)
Hope you like the EP! To be honest, I haven't really listened to it. =P I keep forgetting to sync it with my iPod. Argh.
(no subject)
I do plan on trying re-read all three books before Breaking Dawn.Because it's been a little over a year since I've read all three books.I remember first reading Twilight in April or May.And then trying hurry up reading New Moon towards last few weeks of May because I was going on Trip Colorado and I wanted finish before then.
Do you have Breaking Dawn Pre-ordered? I Pre-Ordered from Amazon. I should get the book about 3 days after the release.So I'll be few days behind.
I refuse to try read the first Chapter of Breaking Dawn.Because I want to wait til August 2nd.
(no subject)
Nope, I don't have it pre-ordered yet. Not sure how long shipping it here will take. I probably will ask the stores here when they'll bring in the books before I decide where to get it.
Heh, yeah, waiting is good too. I just know that the internet will be bursting with spoilers coming August. I have no idea how I'm going to avoid that. =P
(no subject)
And how long have we been waiting for Rachael's new album? I vaguely remember her at the concert saying it would be out that Fall. Hmm.
(no subject)
Yeah! I remember that too. But I suppose it's worth the wait. =)
(no subject)
I love it when people remember their dreams, especially interesting ones like this. My dreams are usually mundane, real life kind of things, but yours sound much more exciting. :)
(no subject)
My dreams are always kinda crazy and weird (dead cats, a ancient library of sorts with strange books, etc). Does it mean I'm crazier than you? Hm. Probably.

I've never read the Twilight Books it doesn't really sound like my type of thing so I'm kind of sick of hearing about it to be honest *looks around* lol.
Rachael Yamagata is really good I love her stuff!
(no subject)
Oh it's fine. It's way too hyped up, really.
Enjoy the EP then! Oh, and I love your icon. I really wanna see the movie.

I've managed to steer clear from the crazyfandom except for the glitter!comments on ontd :D, so I'm actually looking forward to the movie.
Thanks for posting the EP! I enjoy some of Rachael's songs and I'm looking forward to her new stuff!
(no subject)
Ah, the glitter!comments. Oh gosh.
You're welcome. Enjoy the songs. =)
(no subject)
Also, I have yet to finish Eclipse and yes, I am aware that I suck. However a five hour flight without TV and a few nights with the adopted grandparents will surely solve that problem.
(no subject)
Well, take your time. The next book is still 2 months away. =D
(no subject)
and yeah, I think it is the community corrupting you, because I definitely laughed my way through all three books. They were a quick, one-day read. It was enjoyable, as long as I didn't think too hard about it. But yeah, I'm gonna see the movie with my friends. -shrug- I try to avoid the fandom like the plague, but one of my friends is a rabid Cullen fangirl.
(no subject)
I'm probably going to watch the movie too, but I think I might laugh really loudly at certain parts.
(no subject)
just finished reading twilight, will read new moon later.
wow, me too. i consider myself one of the earlier fans. but, not a pioneer one.
right now? it's just soo crazy.
all i see is the paperback in bookstores.
so, of course, more and more people will read it.
(no subject)
Yeah, I see it everywhere too. Even The Host is on the main shelves with all the other best sellers.
(no subject)
re four: Thank you so much, I've heard a few of her things and greatly appreciate the album.
So glad to hear from you. I have been semi-absent myself, I just can't be motivated to post that much lately. I blame the strike and the TWL fandom of course. ')
(no subject)
Enjoy the songs!
Glad to hear from you too. Yeah, the strike kinda upset my entire American TV-watching and LJ-ing about it. I still have 10 more episodes of Smallville unwatched, and a few of Friday Night Lights. Not the mention the entire season of Lost and One Tree Hill. Oh gosh.
(no subject)
three: some of the...bad...twilight fandom pre-teen stuff is making me not want to read at all, which sucks, since a girl at work experience really recommended it...hmm
Nada surf have a new release? :O did not know!
(no subject)
Yup! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_%28Nada_Surf_album%29) I'll post it in a few days.
(no subject)
Mind you, I've never really gotten into the fandom, except for like seven days before I realised most of them don't have their wits about them.
I'm still somewhat excited though over the fourth book and the movie, although the latter only because it's the kind of thing I'd have a good giggle over how well/badly they managed to transition it.
I still find it alarming that I read Twilight and loved it about 3 years ago before New Moon even came out and it seemed to be such a quiet little book that I forgot about it until recently.
(no subject)
I'm strangely excited about the movie as well. I fear I'll laugh through half of it. =D
3 years? Wow, I had no idea it had been around for that long!
