this is a sad thing for me to say, but i've lost the motivation to write.

so this is the formal announcement of my hiatus for awhile. because, let's face it, this blog is really sucking. sucking like a vaccuum, as dave would say.

i'll update with videos, pictures, etc. but there will be no blogging until my muse returns.

seeing as this is the unfortunate case, i'm going to do a pre-emptive sunday 5+ to tide you over for awhile while i "find my motivation," for lack of a less cliché and less dramatic phrase.

the first five songs will be my favorite hair band songs (that i have on my computer).

spinal tap - big bottom
guns n' roses - my michelle
bon jovi - you give love a bad name
van halen - jump
poison - every rose has its thorn

and these three are songs you really fucken need.
two covers, one original.

willie nelson - smells like teen spirit
-this song is only like a minute long. i'd cut off my left arm AND give my firstborn child to hear him go on for a minute longer. i really really like this.

seu jorge - rebel rebel
-if you've seen the life aquatic with steve zissou, you've heard this guy. he does david bowie songs in portuguese. it's gorgeous. you'll love it.

roísín murphy - sinking feeling
-this song is so hot. so. hot.

so, with that, i bid you adieu, dear blogosphere. i shall return. you know where to find me.

remember -- it's not who you are underneath; it's what you do that defines you.
