Feb. 26th, 2012 06:23 amOKAY. I think it is time to make an actual post that is not just whining. SO. I will talk about three things and they will be, in the following order, (a) clone!Spencer, (b) fun., and (c) cows.
(a) THE RETURN OF CLONE!SPENCER. As you may or may not recall, a few weeks ago I went to a show at a club in Tel Aviv and encountered Spencer Smith's clone. On Monday I went to a friend's birthday at the same club AND LO, who was manning the sound stand if not MR. CLONE HIMSELF. And the show was nice at all but so was getting to stare at that dude all evening. Again. And I WILL at some point figure out how to maybe in the future but in the meantime I'm just going at it research mode, all "oh, so this is how Spencer Smith moves" and "this is how SS drinks" and "this is how S flirts" and so on and so forth. And thn on Thursday evening![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
marina and I went to see Antigone Rising playing at the same club, and they were a fucking awesome all-girl rock band (youtube channel here) and it was a great start to a pretty great weekend. And yes, clone!Spencer was working the sound again so I was basically just walking around like this *________* all night.

(b) there is this band called fun. and they have a new album.
Man, I love fun. so much <3. So so much <3 <3 <3. So, if you do not know fun., here is a primer on who they are. They released their new album Some Nights this week, which you can stream here at ournameisfun.com (when the site isn't down, ha), and I have just been pimping this everywhere I can. To wit, one of the whiteboards at work which a neighboring office wiped clean so I would have room to draw them stuff:
( non-stop pimping )
Here they are on Conan a few days ago:
I saw this yesterday and I was just, this was my face: ♥___♥. Not many people actually sound GOOD on live TV but man, Nate's voice, it's MAGICAL how like the recording he is. And his hair <3! And I love that Jack is wearing the band's official “It’s all fun. and gay ’til someone loses their rights. LGBTQ Equality Now" t-shirt on the stage where it would get the most exposure, and that along with the album release promotions, and now that they've been getting (so I understand) more hype due to the Glee cover of their song, he also blogged for the Huffington Post: Straight Allies: The Importance and the Realities.
In conclusion I love this band for many different reasons. I will say that the thing I don't like about this album is some of the auto-tuning, because I love Nate's voice and any auto-tuning just seems so unnecessary and in the way. But other than that: <3.
(c) cows.
We went to the hills outside town today!marina came over and we took the dog for a walk in new and exciting pastures. There were flowers and cows and sunlight. A+ weekend weather, would repeat again.
( A couple photos below the cut: )
That's it! I was going to link to/rec/mention some more stuff but I am nodding off in front of the laptop screen, so not atm. <---ETA wooow fail. I wrote that hours ago and then fell asleep before hitting send and then Windows Updates restarted my computer and closed all of my open files. Thank you, DW draft saver; you can all pretend I posted this at a normal hour instead of 6AM.
