Lykke Li LIVE! In Review
Last night I saw Lykke Li for the very first time at The First Unitarian Church OR as it seems everyone else calls it, “the church”.
I won’t lie when I say that I originally thought about skipping out even after I bought the tickets ahead of time. It’s Friday night, it’s cold outside plus I’m tired from waking up early for work all week and ALL I want to do is...

i'm embarrassed
mostly because the only way i’ve heard of this song was because i was watching MTV.
who can resist the MTV: Brooklyn?
introducing (way later than it’s probably been released) Lily Allen’s “The Fear”
it’s fantastic, the music, the lyrics. completely different than what i’m used to hearing from her. but i like the new path she’s taken. especially...

i’ve been recently inspired to try my hand at stop motion photography. so i grabbed a few trinkets from my trinket bookshelf along with my D60 and made them dance.
i call this, a love story.

Millions of people showed up giving up the feeling in their limbs just to witness history in the making.

book 1 review of the "read more books this year"...
last week i finished reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk.
i’ll give it a b+, but only barely. i found that it was almost insanely boring to get through with some chapters that are pretty much unnecessary. i will admit however that i am a fan of the fucked up situation, which this book was full of.
so if you’re down for that kind of reading, by all means! DIG IN!
you’ll be...

Greg Laswell’s “I’d Be Lying”
http://blip.fm/profile/jacmmkay/blip/2767423
Looking up some of his tracks to be ready to see him tonight at the Tin Angel, I came across this song and my heart sunk. The lyrics are perfect.

i was in a terrible mood today.
pulled aside asking if i was “ok”.
i was irritable and quiet.
“nothing, just tired”
i think it is the side effects of Tylenol PM.
grumble grumble.
i need to find a new way to fall asleep, naturally.
and i need to think up some excuse tomorrow besides describing side effects of a sleep aid because frankly, that is just too much explaining. even to myself.
in...

really diggin' lykke li right now. better late...
you probably know by now that most of my spare time consists of me spending time on the internet. whilst stalking one of my favorite websites for upcoming shows that i can go to, i come across Lykke Li.
i had been seeing her come up a lot on people’s “recently played” lists on last.fm, but never actually got around to downloading anything of hers to actually take a listen....

i've got your voice on tape.
as days go by i’m feeling more and more daring with how much information i want to (voluntarily) send out into the forces of the interwebs, ie: jackiePAYTON.tumblr.com.
so stick around, i hope to make something of this sometime soon.
but until then, please enjoy the tunes of jenny owen youngs’ “voice on tape”, it’s been stuck in my head all day.
