Adele on Jimmy Kimmel Live! - December 10, 2008

My favorite song of 2008. I think it's about that time to start looking back all wistful-like. Adele has a pretty amazing voice. I haven't been able to get the chorus "should I give up? Or should I just keep chasing pavement? Even if it leads no where......" out of my head all year. It's one of those songs you hear and even if you don't realize it at the moment, it resonates with you somewhere within and just refuses to stay background music. It needs to be heard and play endlessly in the soundtrack of you day, month, year. Those songs don't come along every year (or very often anymore for that matter), but I think I can safely say this song was added to my own personal soundtrack this year.

Happy Holidays!!

Oasis - Wonderwall (MSG)

Saw Oasis at the Garden last night. They were very good live. The Gallagher bros are almost impossible to understand when addressing the crowd in a live setting, without the benefit of subtitles. I've never in my life heard so many broughs and cockney accents assembled in one place at one time! Wonderwall was great live. As with any band's uber-hit, it was of course a quintessiental sing along moment. I remember less how Noel's vocals sounded and more how the mingled (mangled?) vocals of the assembled masses sounded. I realized I don't know any of their new songs (so unprepared was I) but it was a good show (and yet again I proved my hypothesis that ending a work night with a concert and overpriced (but good) beer does in fact make me a happy girl! See, it sure doesn't take much!)

Vote for Dr.Horrible

Make your voice heard. Cast your vote for something that matters this year. Throw your support behind a worthy candidate. Yes, of course I'm talking about supporting Dr. Horrible which is up for a people's choice award in the category of "Internet sensation". If you vote for no other reason, do it to stop Paris Hilton from winning something other than "vapid waste of my precious time." That's a noble cause isn't? Remember voting is a privilege and a right.
So go on over and perform your civic duty @ http://www.pcavote.com
(While we're on the good deeds theme, you might as well also use your voting power for some more good by casting a vote for "Fringe" in the best new drama category. Make crazy mad scientist dad and his cow proud!)
