THROWBACK TUESDAY: ADAM BRODY'S BIG JAPAN

Considering the fact that I'd been gone for two whole months, it is just fair to say I've got quite a bit of songs to share, so except a few posts (at least this week anyway!)
This is a response to my previous post, as I'm pretty sure none of you know Big Japan, unless you are a hardcore fan of The O.C., in that case you should know who they are.

 Here's Rise and fall of Bill and All The Fish In The Sea Are Stupid Sluts Anyways- I know, what a nice name for a song, right? 

CARLY RAE JEPSEN IS BIG IN JAPAN

Last week Ms. Carly Rae Jepsen got to spend a total of 60 hours in Japan, where she performed at a few TV shows, then had a 'secret showcase' just a few hours before flying back to the U.S.
It's funny how one song can make you even "big in Japan"! (Yes, there goes a slight reference to Dirt Nasty or Adam Brody's band, which ever you like best.)

Jepsen sang about 5 songs off her new record KISS with her band, then took some time for a little Q&A session in front of about 1000 screaming fans.

I got to spend a few minutes with the lady backstage, and to my surprise, I'm only about a head taller than her! ha

PS. Blame my lack of posts on not having a computer.

THERE'S A WORLD IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE IT GETTING BRIGHTER

If you have seen the movie Waiting For Forever with Rachel Bilson and Tom Sturridge, you might recognize these two songs by The Mostar Driving Club, which are featured a few times throughout the movie. I'm glad the music supervisor decided to choose such a small and talented band as them to be featured so many times in the movie.
The first song is called Worlds Apart and the second one is Worlds Collide.

PS. If you haven't seen Waiting For Forever, I definitely suggest that you watch it, but I will say one thing: The ending won't necessarily please you.

YOU SAID LOVE WAS PAINTED GOLD, LIKE ALL THINGS GROWING OLD

How incredible is this song? 

It is 2am in Tokyo, and it is a perfect time to be playing You Already Know by Bombay Bicycle Club. Obviously, any time is a great time to play this song, but it just sounds so damn perfect right now. It reminds me of The O.C. for some reason (maybe because they had the most amazing music ever on television, thanks to Stephanie Savage.) I wish you could listen to this song in my mood right now, but I am sure you will love it nonetheless.

JUST REMEMBER WHAT I SAID BECAUSE IT ISN'T OVER YET

If you ever hear the name Chris Mollere, just know he is a genius! He is the man behind Pretty Little Liars' music (also Greek, Vampire Diaries, Kyle XY). He is amazing at what he does, and has done an incredible job throughout both seasons. He's almost as good as Joe Fischer (The O.C.) ha!
Anyway here are my two favorite songs from PLL so far; first one is Where The Lonely Ones Roam by Digital Daggers. Second one is More of You by Mozella.

"OLD" KEANE

It's been about 7 years since these two Keane songs came out, but that doesn't change the fact that they are amazing. I also love the video for Everybody's Changing, the settings are crazy. 

INTRODUCING... NADA SURF

The first band poster I ever put up on my wall was from none other than Nada Surf. All it took was one song on The O.C, and I was already obsessed.

Here's one of my favorite songs by them-- Always Love

PS- You should definitely check out the video for Electrocution . The song itself is pretty damn good, but the video is just crrrraaaazy.
