Hope you enjoyed the holidays/time off from work/excuse to stuff your face with cookies and pie. This holiday season I decided to treat myself to actually utilizing that tumblr account I created a year ago. Annnnnd so I did. At like 2am I created Found Objects, a blog of everyday life, told through pictures. Don’t worry, I’m not cheating on this blog with another blog, it’s really just a photo-blog side project. You know how Jack White has both The White Stripes and The Raconteurs? It’s like that.
One More Reason to Love Taylor Swift
Posted in i like this, in case you missed it, music, objectifying girls and i'm ok with it, television with tags bands that aren't even worth tags, country music really isn't all that bad, i like those headbands she wears, i want to be her, i've been "team taylor swift" before it was cool - thanks working at seventeen!, snl, taylor lautner, taylor swift, whatever kanye on November 8, 2009 by melsanie
So let’s see. America’s newest sweetheart hosted the best episode of SNL this season last night, she’s one of my favorite dressed celebrities, she has a cute new boyfriend and she’s a triple-platinum recording artist. BUT. Why am I loving her even more now?
Well, Her self-titled album first released in 2006 has been on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart for 157 weeks, which is a feat in it of itself, yet what makes it especially notable is that it has finally booted Nickelback from that spot. Nickelback. Seriously, America? Come on.
So, thank you Taylor, for erasing that blemish in music history with your kickass album. Now, go write some songs about being in love with Taylor Lautner and set more records.
Ps. Your monologue was my favorite to date.

Cover vs. Original
Posted in music, music face off, soundtrack to your life with tags cover songs, happy love songs are lies, joan jett, love hurts, nazareth, rock throw down on October 28, 2009 by thedithFact: Covers of songs usually suck. Oftentimes, its not necessarily the fault of the artist doing the song cover, it’s just that the original was kind of a classic, and you just can’t improve upon a classic. You can’t.
Little Discussed Fact: Sometimes covers are better than the original song. Maybe it’s because the original kind of sucked, or maybe it’s because the artist doing the cover has completely re-arranged the structure of the song making it almost like a new song entirely — but for whatever reason, you hear the cover, and you think, “this is a really tight cover!”
This post is about those songs…
A Super Hetero Christmas?
Posted in holidays, music with tags david archuleta is not cute, i may or may not have played david archuletta's song on repeat, the holidays are around the corner!, weird music, why do old ladies think barry manilow is sexy? on October 28, 2009 by melsanie
So, some music company: a) keeps sending me really bad CDs, b) thinks I work at Conde Nast, c) just delighted me with this wonderful holiday sampling. I can’t wait to upload these to my ipod…or not.
Sunday Thoughts
Posted in adventures in life, music, rad things, Weekend Wars with tags animal collective, discovery, mgmt, music i dig, pandora, radiohead, this station made me so productive this morning on October 25, 2009 by thedithI haven’t listened to Pandora in forever. That is, until today. Oh man, the “My Girls” by Animal Collective Pandora station is really doing amazing things to my ears right now. If you like electric/synth pop with interweaving and complex vocal arrangements like, Radiohead, Discovery, MGMT or, duh, Animal Collective, you’ll dig this station.
Below, the oldy but goody that inspired it all:
