Bless you, Spotify and Regina Spektor



I love music and I love the music service called "Spotify". Don't know if it's an international service, but I think so. It's simply awesome and I have Spotify to thank for getting me to know the awesomeness that is Regina Spektor. She is really something different. She composes her own songs and play them eliquentely on the piano and I love the sound of her voice. And the fact that she was born in Russia makes her even cooler. My favourite song for the moment from her is one of her latest singles: "Laughing with" which is a song about god. It's very good.
If you have spotify you can listen to the song here:

I have the advertised (free) version of Spotify, but it still rocks. I also get the oppurtunity to hear rarities from Johnny Cash, David Bowie and also U2. And so much more, I haven't had time to explore it yet.

It freakin' rocks! :D

Got loads of studies to get to, so I better get started, problem is I don't have all the books I need yet. Only got 3 of 8 books. And I will be quite busy from now on, so it's gonna be stressful with all these studies, so I have to make up a plan or something so I can study more effectively.

Yesterday I spent the day with my very good male friend M. We ate sushi together and then went to the cinema and saw the very popular Sci-fi movie "District 9". It was a really special movie and it's very hard to define it's genré..hard to tell if it was a drama, comedy, pure sci-fi, documentary..it was all very strange and very very good..I think. When we left the cinema we had a real hard time talking about it, because it was very very different from any movie we've ever seen, and I've seen lots of movies. It was however worth seeing and had some really awesome effects.

But I recommend that you see it, if you like sci-fi mocumentary (fake documentarys are referred to this name).



RIP Patrick Swayze - a good actor who died this Tuesday. He'll be dirty dancing it up to heaven.

Wohooo!!! Jag sa ju det - Regina Spektor rockar! Jag älskar "Laughing With", det är en så fin sång och den stämmer verkligen in på hur det är. Jag skulle också vilja prova på Spotify (svensk uppfinning, by the way) men jag har för segt internet i Ryssland för det :(

Och du är för bra - ingen annan skulle kunna ha sagt något bättre om Patric Swayze!!! Indeed, "he'll be dirty dancing it up to Heaven"... RIP. Stackarn, han som led så länge av sin cancer :( men nu kan han ju dansa sina smutsiga danser med alla andra kändisar uppe i himlen. Kanske vill Gud Fader själv ta en svängom?

Hehehe... hädelse!

Kram!

Ja, verkligen..snacka om hädelse. Men jag förlåter dig, gumman. Ja, jag kände att jag ville hedra honom med en liten input, han var ju ändå en legend på 80-talet.

Spotify är grym och Regina Spektor med. Men nu har jag fastnat för Taylor Swift, she is soo cool. :D

kram
