life: new Music

MGMT...........................................

so i've been exploring some new music--yesterday i saw MGMT in two different places (CQ & Billboard) so i checked out their songs.

i've already herd Kids by MGMT, and i liked it, but i didn't venture out 2 hear more of their songs 4 some reason...

but i loved Kids, so why not?

I read from CQ that their new album, Celebrate, is 'new' and that 'their fans would all hate them now b/c the cd is in a different direction from the 1st'

it's pretty good.

here's Electric Feel, one of my new Faves:

METRO STATION.............................................

another new band i discovered i really liked was Metro Station, with Disney-channel's Miley Cyrus's brother and Mitchel Musso's brother.... Seventeen Forever + Shake it was pretty good, but i didn't bother 2 check them out until recently... my sister started to listen to them, and i was hooked.

here's my new ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG: Kelsey.

i LOOOVE IT!!

3oh!3..........................

Before i discovered that i loved Metro station and MGMT, i LOVED 3OH!3. i moved onto them after i got tired of Lady Gaga--there's only so many times you can listen to those 30 songs from her two albums before you get tired of them.

i reacted to them the same way i reacted w/ Lady Gaga--wtf?! "I lost my phone?!" and wat's up with her outfit?! my exact words when i saw her for the first time on Ms. America's beauty pagent.

i first herd Don't Trust Me a year ago from two classmates, simone+jess singing it in art class--our teacher, ms. minyo, let us listen to our ipods, and would let one of us put our ipod on the dock for everyone else to enjoy.

then i herd it on the radio. i LOVED it. but when i saw their Music Video, i was like, they just KILLED an awesome song. i've been scarred for life!!

even though they're ur normal college kids--singing about booze and partying. i HATED asher roth's i love college. but i really like 3OH!3. after hearing Don't Trust Me, i explored their other songs. but i didn't like it--it grated on my ears. but now i love every one of their songs.

here's my Two ALL-TIME FAVES from 3oh!3:

Colorado Sunrise______________________

Still Around: _________________________

i couldn't get their FlipCam video, but go here for the video--it's SO different from their "Don't Trust Me" video!!

Lady Gaga....................................................

there's no place to start w/ lady gaga... i just love EVERY one of her songs. but i won't be repetitive, b/c just dance, lovegame, poker face, telephone, speechless, bad romance, and alejandro is on the charts (alejandro will be blasted out of your local radio in a few weeks. coming soon to ur local radio! XD)

here are two favorite songs from her you'll love, but it'll be our secret:

MONSTER...............................................................................



STARSTRUCK......featuring FLO-RIDA..............................



starstruck is more hip-hop, but i LOVE it!!!

Phoenix___Dirty Projectors___The XX____

sooo... i've you've never seen the Cadillac commercial, or if this song hasn't made it's way into your head yet, here's Phoenix's 1901. it's such an amazing song



i first noticed the Dirty Projectors @ my local newspaper after the rise of Phoenix--it was the reccomended Indie-band music, and the Dirty Projectors was one of them. listed 2 them, didn't dig it. a few weeks later, i hear it in XXI (forever 21), and i HAD to download it. here's the ONE song i love from them (currently i only like this one, but who knows? i'm alwasy like this w/ new music--it takes a few more times for me to like it)

STILLNESS IS THE MOVE...................................................



THE XX______________________________________

ok, well, i'm an AVID olympics-watcher/fan. so i of course cheered on APOLO OHNO in speed skating. b/c of him, i was watching speed skating for the first time ever--he's like the tiger woods of speed skating--w/o him, no one would watch that sport.

well, i got this AT&T commerical stuck in my head, and i found the song from the Cadillac commercial, so i was like, this has GOT to also be another song produced by an artist (and not by AT&T commissioned for this ad) so I FOUND IT!!!

here it is: THE XX's INTRO_____________________________________

music: Piano Sheets

Because i noticed the scarcity of Piano sheets for lady gaga, i recently requested my local library to order a copy of THE FAME song book, i have it!!

 

so here are the files for the piano music, guitar, AND vocals for the songs in Lady Gaga's album, The Fame.

 

Lady Gaga - Starstruck

Lady Gaga - Paper Gangsta

Lady Gaga - Just Dance

Lady Gaga - Paparazzi





2NE1 - Fire

2NE1 - In the Club

SHINee - JoJo

SHINee - Ring Ding Dong

SNSD - Gee

SS501 - Love Like This

Super Junior - It's You (Neorago)

Super Junior - Sorry Sorry

Taeyang - Wedding Dress

Wheesung - Insomnia (Bulmyeonjeung)

***because my scanner can only scan up to 8.5'' x 11'' paper, it could not fit the entire page all in one image.... sorry!
here's the legend:
**v stands for vocal sheet
**p stands for piano sheet--my scanner only scans up to a 8x11.5'' sheet of paper, and the song book was larger then that, so some pages had to be split between two images.
**a stands for "all", meaning both vocal and piano are on the page.

 

**the scanning quality isn't the best, but someone else w/ the proper softwear can make better piano sheets.

 

LINKS:

 

i have searched far and wide for good piano sheets, and it's hard!

 

here are the links i LOVE:

 

for asian music of all sorts (korean, chinese, japanese): go here. It's called 1004 degrees, and they have big bang, boa, ayumi hamasaki, 2ne1, shinee, snsd, yiruma...and so many more!!

for anime music, go here. it's called Ichigo's, and it has a really large collection of sheet music.

music: GaGa

the first time i EVER herd of the Lady GaGa is from Miss Universe. I don't even really care about it anymore--Miss Hong Kong, Miss Asia, Miss USA, Miss Whatever--no matter who the f*ck you want to win, she never does. So here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4No2pBNOA


Honest to God: (though i'm not explicitly christian, i am not atheist either...)



i thought: who is this deranged woman??? if she's SO famous, how come i've NEVER herd of her?? and 'just dance??? i lost my keys?' are u serious? but now, i ADORE her. i love it. its probably cause when it comes to lyrics, it doesn't have to make sense, and i found out i love Dance, in addition to pop and rock.



i wish she had more albums out, but her's her only one out so far: The Fame.

i love it!! too bad CDs are useless and i'm cheap...cause you can download everything online nowdays.... http://www.bearshare.com/ and http://www.limewire.com/
SIDETRACK: BEARSHARE v. LIMEWIRE
so--these two are my top notch favorites, and they're vastly different:
Limewire:

• ILLegal
• LOTS of songs
• INTERNATIONAL songs--my fave place for my chinese/korean/japanese music
• I only use it for downloading music.

Bearshare:

• COMPLETELY LEGAL
• Limited amount of songs
• American/English songs only
• USERS INTERACT!! you meet new friends (like facebook/myspace) and see who else also downloads the songs you do, and you can IM (instant message) others...i love it!

back to the original story.
so, now i adore her for no reason... i just love her.
Lyrics:
Just Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M65zI9LH-as)
Red One
Konvict
I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush (Start to rush by)
A dizzy twister dance, can't find my drink or man
Where are my keys?
I lost my phone
What's goin' on, on the floor?
I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool,
what's the name of this club?
I can't remember, but it's alright, a-alright
Just dance, gonna be okay
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance,
spin that record babe
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, gonna be okay
D-D-D-Dance, dance, dance, just
J-J-Just dance
Wish I could shut my playboy mouth oh oh o oh
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? (Inside out right)
Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say,
And we're all getting hosed tonight!
What's goin' on, on the floor?
I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember, but it's alright, a-alright
Just dance, gonna be okay
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, spin that record babe
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, gonna be okay
D-D-D-Dance, dance, dance, just
J-J-Just dance
When I come through on the dance floor checkin' out that catalogue
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw
And I ain't gonna give it up, steady trying to pick it up like a call
I'm a hit it up, beat it up, latch on to it until tomorrow yeah
(Shorty I can see that you got so much energy
The way you twirlin' up them hips round and round
(And there is no reason at all why you can't leave here with me
In the mean time let me watch you break it down and
Dance, gonna be okay oh oh
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, spin that record babe
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, gonna be okay
D-D-D-Dance, dance, dance, just
J-J-Just dance
Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's symphonic
Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's electronic
Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's symphonic
Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's electronic
Go, use your muscle carve it out work it, hustle!
Don't slow! Drive it, clean it, lysol, bleed it
Spend the last dough, in your pocko!
Just dance, gonna be okay
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, spin that record babe
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, gonna be okay
D-d-d-dance, dance, dance, just
J-j-just dance
