The best songs in the universe. Go.
I have discovered several really, really good songs recently. I shall share them with you now.
The Riddle by Gigi d’Agostino (this is the best song in the universe, guys, seriously).
Saturdays by Cut Copy (this is the second best song in the universe).
Go Into The Water by Dethklok (yay!).
Viva la Vida by Coldplay (Coldplay’s alright, but I love this song).
Cara Mia by Mans Zelmerlow
Sang Om Ingenting by Kobojsarna (holy crap, it’s Swedish and it’s awesome).
Woohoo! Go give your ears some ecstasy. Listen to these songs.
An anxiety-ridden week gives rise to…
Boredom!
Why is it that boredom = survey?
I’m sure I could offer you one of my proofs, but…
…I’m bored. And thus I don’t want to do squat.
I’ll give you three guesses as to what you’re going to get in this blog:
1) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see me dressed like Elton John
2) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see me strip naked and act like Elton John
3) a survey
The correct answer is…
Guess 3!
Though guesses 1 and 2 will be performed per request.
This is a music survey. Through it, you can share your taste in music to your friends.

Wow…that’s pretty strange that I never repeated an artist. Oh well, I guess that accurately reflects my library as a whole—it’s rare for me to have more than one or two songs by a single artist (with several exceptions, of course).
Hope you likey!
You do this too, so I can see what songs you weirdos like.
Waiter! There’s a circular argument in my logic!
Oh my goodness, I just saw the funniest Family Guy I’ve ever seen. Peter got a look at Chris’ penis and became rather jealous. The whole thing with the “penis car” going in and out of the tunnel just made my freaking day. Wow.
So in lieu of that, I present some unrelated information: good songs you should download. Why? BECAUSE WE KILL THINGS! (totally unrelated Retarded Animal Babies reference, sorry).
Angel by Joee
Omnibus by Lautsprecher
Dr. Who by Orbital
The W.A.N.D. by The Flaming Lips
Oh dammit, they’re all techno except for that last one!
