I Bought No Gift This Year And I Slept With Your Sister...

... that's a sentence probably no girl-friend wants to hear on Christmas, unless it's out of The Hives' frontman Pelle Almqvist's mouth. And if he even offers a duel with Cyndi Lauper, we'll love to hear this song, don't we? So listen to it on YouTube now. It's one of the best Christmas songs ever and definitely the funniest one ;D

Use Somebody

After their striking first single Sex On Fire from the latest album Only By The Night, Kings of Leon released the second song: Use Somebody. Without a doubt, an amazing track! Especially love the high voice of Calleb Followill in this one ;D

i've been roaming around
always looking down at all i see
painted faces fill the places i can't reach

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

and all you know
and how you speak
countless lovers undercover of the street

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

off in the night,
while you live it up, i'm off to sleep
waging war to shake the poet and the beat

i hope it's gonna make you notice
i hope it's gonna make you notice
someone like me
someone like me
someone like me

go and let it out
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody

i've been roaming around
always looking down at all i see

The Great Escape

Soon is the time that the Rifles release their second studio album The Great Escape. Since last month, the EP with four tracks from the up-coming CD has been offered. It comprises 1. The Great Escape 2. Darling Girl 3. I Could Never Lie 4. A Love To Die For. I'm very curious about the album as I've loved the Rifles from the very beginning. The four songs show that the four boys have kept their style but nevertheless, they all don't appear as strong as those from the first album. Anyway, The Great Escape is certainly something wort waiting for! It'll be released 29 Januar, 2009.

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

I so can't wait for Christmas to come anymore! I love this time of year when everything is beautifully decorated, when it smells like snow, cinnamon and fir needles. Plus, I'm dying to finally have holidays. This school semester has definitely exhausted me, and I'm now looking forward to some stress relaxation as well as to the final spurt of my finals.

Dance With Somebody.... Or Better Don't!

What IS that? was the first thought to cross my mind when stumbling over Sweden's hottest rock band's (Mando Diao, of course) new single Dance With Somebody. Though it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Jennifer Rush' similar-named track, Dance With Somebody does make you dance. Plus, it's extremely catchy. And it makes you sing along after listening it the second time. Is that a good sign? Is a Mando Diao song supposed to be catchy? Danceable? So disco? NO!

Where are you, Mando Diao? I so miss songs like God Knows, Cut The Rope, Killer Kaczynski, and Motown Blood, where you showed the whole world how Sweden can rock!

But now? Now you're producing smooth songs, which turn out to be perfect coffee party radio songs. After my having heard the new single for like three times, I had enough of it, couldn't hear it anymore. You're so not mando anymore. Please, please, let Dance With Somebody be an exception on the up-coming album Give Me Fire! With Mando Diao's potential, the new CD must have more to offer than a catchy dance track... hopefully at least!

Must-Haves But Can't-Gets

I really, really, really need to get these clothes. Most them, however, are from American shops, the delivery fees of which I can't possibly afford. But there are also some topshop products which I might get. I'm so in love with them!

topshop:

topshop over-sized shirt

topshop black pants

topshop golden shoes

topshop blue blouse

forever21:

forever21 Beatles shirt

forever21 black and red dress

finishing with the most beautiful: forever21 dark-blue dress

I so want these clothes!! Hope to get at least some topshop stuff. Also, I bought my Christmas outfit yesterday: an amazing yet simple H&M dress. Will put a picture of me in it soon.

This is what I want to wear (and first buy ;D) for New Year's Eve:

black H&M skirt, which goes perfectly with a certain top from H&M as well... there's no pictures of it on H&M website though.

Alternatively, I might also buy this:

Too many clothes and too little money :( But I so love fashion :D

They Were So Dirty and Pretty, These Things

Ooooooh yes, it was so hot! The Dirty Pretty Things concert on the 20th of December was by far the best concert this season. They're one of my favourite bands and they didn't disappoint me live in the slightest. It was even better to see them in real, being able to listen to the shrill guitars' riffs not just from the album.... and of course, there was this terrific, darnedly good-looking Carl Barât, once frontman of The Libertines (next to Pete Doherty), then of the Dirty Pretty Things and now that the DPT have split hopefully founding a new band!

Better Late Than Never!

I know it's been a while since I was at the Pigeon Detectives concert but I still feel the need to tell you about it! Summing up, it was awesome. Having released two albums (Wait For Me and Emergency) so far, the young British band played all their big songs. And although all songs pretty much resemble one another, partying at the concert was never over. It was a typical indie-concert with a lot of jumping, singing, shouting, having fun and getting bruises ;D
