You've got the love?
with the remote in one hand and a tissue in the other, my day was filled with nothing but TV, sleep, and nose blowing. whoever thought up the idea of tv marathons deserves a medal.. a big gold medal..
this weekend alone ive watched a project runway marathon, an america's next top model marathon, and todays marathon : sex and the city final season
DON'T JUDGE.
hah but on to the point of this whole post.. the last scene of sex and the city you see carrie skipping off into the crowded streets of new york to some catchy song.. but hey, wait..
ive heard this song before ..
THE SONG IS YOU'VE GOT THE LOVE BY FLORENCE + THE MACHINE!
as the song was playing and carrie was ladida-ing down the street
i kept thinking to myself : woah this song is older than i thought
: florence has been around longer than i thought
: how OLD is florence!?
: i really need to get this remix on itunes
i got to my computer and typed in "sex and the city series finale song" and there popped you've got the love
it never dawned on me that maybe florence and the machine covered the song..
well she did and not only did i find that out, but the song " you've got the love" has some history
wikipedia as always, very helpful

"You Got the Love" is a 1986 single by the band The Source and Candi Staton. One of its many remixers also adopted the name The Source.[2] In 2008, the song was recorded by English soul singer Joss Stone for her fourth studio album, "Colour Me Free!" released in October 2009. In November 2009, another cover version was released as a single by English indie rock band, Florence & The Machine.

Little JOY
Instead of me rambling on about these guys (and girl!)
I think it would be better if you listened to their sweet and breezy sound for yourselves
Their sound, I think ties in perfectly with this time of the year
Their laid back vibe totally makes me want to:
Be in a hammock
Ride in the car with the windows down
Dance
Give them a go
Looking Back
anyone at the arctic monkeys concert could agree with me when i say the crowd was complete craziness..
the only people who might not agree would probably have to be the wasted attendees but ANYWHO
When i look back at the whole night, there was one song that transformed the pushing, shoving, and crowd surfing into a listening crowd swaying to the beat.
the song - Cornerstone
Cornerstone is one of their slower songs with sweet and complex lyrics about a break up and yearning for a past love
Through one song, the monkeys were able to transform the energy of a crowd of.. what was it? around 900 people?! In my eyes that definitely says something about the Arctic Monkeys and the power of their performance

Trip to Princeton
yesterday we took a trip to princeton
we went to the princeton record exchange which was such a rad place
i was fortunate enough to purchase the beatles debut album, an arctic monkeys record, and the strokes just released "Angles" on cd
i can't stress how great of a place it was
you could literally spend days in there sifting through the cartons and racks
we got some ice-cream at the Bent Spoon later on and let me just say.. that place is HEAVEN

Arctic Monkeys Concert 5/24
last night was the arctic monkeys concert @ rumsey playfield..
I stumbled upon these guys a few years back.. i saw the name "arctic monkeys" and i thought it was amusing so you know.. gotta look them up ( i know..)! I was hooked instantly. Their sound was unfamiliar to me, and because of that i needed to keep listening. I was caught up in their tongue tying lyrics and catchy guitar riffs and still am. Each song from their debut album Whatever You Say I Am, That's What I Am Not to the three songs that have been released from their new album Suck It And See ( highly anticipated for me!) has been just flawless.
Last night was such an experience. I don't think there is any word that comes close to describing the time i had. The venue; Rumsey Playfield in Central park was amazing. What could be better than seeing one of your favorite bands smack dab in the middle of such an incredible city?
Aside from the riled up, sweaty, and drunk guys and the occasional girl bulldozing into you, you would gaze up at the stage in bewilderment. These guys were great, the feeling was unreal - An energy just engulfed the crowd
As Fluorescent Adolescent began the crowd gave their all for they knew the end of such a electrifying night would be coming to a close in minutes
Turner humbly said his goodbye to the crowd and New York City...
