Song For This Post: The Rentals - The Love I'm Searching For

Okay, so I love the Rentals. Love them. I got to see the reunion tour when it came through Vancouver, and I had so much fun at that show, just like every Rentals show I've been to. I also love Matt Sharp. Maybe a bit more than the hub would like, but yanno, Matt is on my drop trou list LMAO. Here's a live version of one of my favourite songs by them..
Meltastic, and perfect for my next installment of Geek Chic for Project Themeory.

the girl got hot.

Song For This Post: Weezer - The Girl Got Hot

So this post was inspired by Project Themeory, an awesome collection of stores presenting limited time themed items from weekend to weekend (some vendors still had their items out today, so join the inworld group to grab a list - otherwise, join up and wait for next week!). This first look doesn't feature anything from this particular weekend's theme *cough* which was "Geek Chic", BUT it does fit in with the theme! I swear. The second features a few items from Project Themeory tho, and I have another post in the works for tomorrow, as really, there is so much awesome stuffs <3.

Oh, and the song? Weezer is the ultimate Geek Chic band IMHO (as well as a cpl of others you'll be seeing in the next few posts). I would eat Rivers Cuomo on ice cream. Actually I would eat Matt Sharp (frmr Weezer member, to be featured tom heehee) AND him all up without the ice cream. *swoons* That said - the song works awesome for this - the underrated geeky girl who suddenly blossoms into the super hot chick she was allllll along, without losing her real self.

Song For This Post: Jay Malinowski - Santa Monica

This is a song/album I am currently addicted to. Jay Malinowski is the lead singer for Bedouin Soundclash, though his solo release is nothing like their sound. It's haunting and lonely, and just gorgeous. His version of this Bedouin Soundclash song is so heartwrenching, with a completely beautiful vid to go with..

Also: I am using two looks today I've had sitting in my blog folder for awhile cos I just couldn't get to it last week. Both feature the Springy skin in Pale from Plastic Flowers (25L/2 tones), the DUBOO owl tat (35L). and the Medley hand tats from the Spring Bazaar; both tats I've been wearing for ages, and most likely will continue doing so lol.

Song For This Post: Greg Dulli - Pussywillow

Greg Dulli (for those of you who don't know) is/was the lead singer of the Afghan Whigs, and the Twilight Singers. He oozes this sultry sexualised adoration and love that just GETS me everytime, every song. I've said it before, I'll say it again.. PURE sex-onna-stick, but his sex is one that has meaning, that goes beyond simple flesh and temporary itches being scratched. Yum.

Song For This Post: TV On The Radio - Dancing Choose

The second I put on these leggings, the only song I could think of was this awesomeness. I am half-dancing even now as I listen to the playback of TV's performance on Letterman.

ocean breathes salty.

Song For This Post: Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty

For this look, I wanted a song that was haunting and surreal - and Modest Mouse is a band that so often holds both of those qualities. Plus? This song has been stuck in my mind for some days now. What better way to exorcise it than to use it to soundtrack my trip through Putrid's sims? I flitted around so much, wandering aimlessly, that I couldn't tell you which was taken where exactly, but go explore it for yourself. Also, the hair/skin is what inspired this very David Lynch/Helena Bonham Carter look (at least to me lol).

Song For This Post: The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends

This is an old favourite of mine. Lately The Sundays have been on my constant playlist. I think it's due to the flu, and just the timing of the year.. *smiles* They give a melancholic happiness to my heart. Remnants of my teenagehood, I suppose.
