We will be Victorious...

Has anyone else ever noticed how much people like to use teddy bears in music videos...???




Bjork gets eaten by one in the "Human Behaviour" video:









Muse portrays them as evil little destroyers of the world in their current video for "Uprising":

Awww... they can come tear up my city anytime ;)

And Rise Against had a teddy in their video for "Savior" as well:







Cute, or what???




<3 sweet dreams

Happy Day Before Halloween!!!

Excitement in the air.





Here's some DIY fashion inspiration in case you still need a costume for tomorrow:

I SPY: STYLISH ROCKSTAR OF THE WEEK - WEEK TEN- DOMINIC HOWARD (MUSE)
BRITISH FASHION INVASION TWO WEEKS IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say? Anyone who customizes their own jeans in a tiny public restroom while on tour in Europe, (even though they could easily pay someone ELSE to do it), deserves this recognition.

I feel like a proud mom.



These guys are quickly becoming my favourite band to follow on Twitter. They post the BEST pictures.

I highly recommend them to anyone on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/muse





In other news,

HALLOWEEN IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET YOUR FANGS ON!!!!!!!!

Universe: wrap your arms around me. Make me strong, so I can take on anyone.

I SPY: STYLISH ROCKSTAR OF THE WEEK - WEEK SIX- MATT BELLAMY (MUSE)

(yes, I know Muse were the Stylish Rockstars of the week LAST week, but it's MY freaking blog and I can write about whatever and whoever the hell I want, so there).

In all honesty, how can I *not* talk about this guy twice in a row? He's fabulous. Check out the magazine I spied him on yesterday:

JACKET. In case you don't already know by now, I'm kind of obsessed with jackets. 24/7. Any season of the year.

And the pointy boots?? YESSSS!!!


Or how about a futuristic, couture metallic blazer??

To die for. Absolutely to die for. I love the clothes he wears. He never fails to look so put together and I can't get enough of the,(dare I say it?), QUIRKY little twist he adds to everything.

Very BRITISH, indeed ;)


And the fact that he's going on TWO WEEKS IN A ROW as my stylish rockstar of the week?? Well. That just puts everyone else to shame.

Shame.
Shame.
Shame.


He makes my fashion heart happy.

The End.

I've exposed your lies, baby...

currently listening to: Muse - Origin of Symmetry



SO.

Hands down, best act of the night last night (ha) on the VMA's was MUSE.

Therefore, they will be all I talk about.

Presenting...

I SPY: STYLISH ROCKSTARS OF THE WEEK - WEEK FIVE - MUSE


I don't know if these guys worked with a stylist, (probably did), but whoever chose these outfits gets a medal.

CHRIS (bass): I have to start off by mentioning the John Galliano tshirt. JOHN. GALLIANO.


sorry that this still sucks, but trust me, it's a rad shirt.

DOMINIC (drums): I couldn't get a good still of him to save my life but I have to mention the fact that I applaud his outfit the most. The thing about drummers is that they're always hidden behind the drumset... people can barely see them, so I feel like drummers in bands often get careless about their dress because, well, NO ONE CAN SEE THEM!!!!!!! But Dominic was wearing BRIGHT RED and I noticed him from a mile away. (Well, from when the camera was a mile away, haha). Like I said, sorry no picture - but I found some possibilities for anyone who wouldn't mind mimicking the look.

He was wearing a fitted, red plaid vest over a black tshirt. And, personally, I like fitted vests the best (hahaha!), but I couldn't find an interesting fitted one, so if you're pressed for time/lazy/cheap, you could always just get a plaid button down shirt (they're available everywhere these days), cut off the sleeves, and call it a day:

He was also wearing bright red skinny jeans. The kind that were readily available at HT last year, and are probably still available at some places. But if you think bright red is too loud, try a muted, dark red jean:

And finally:

MATT (vocals): He was wearing his signature look. Casual, cool, EFFORTLESS: A white tshirt with a skull graphic under a fitted black blazer.


Urban Outfitters has some nice men's blazers on their site, such as this one:

It's made of corduroy, and while $128 might seem pricey, you have to remember that a good blazer lasts you a looong time. And it really is so versatile that you can wear it with anything. And if you wanna make a girl like me drool, you'll wear a blazer more often!

WELL...

that was my two and a half cents. Now sit back and watch the video and tell me what you think of this week's stylish rockstars:

get your body beat.

I hate getting angry at people I love. I truly do. But sometimes they leave me no choice. When I reach out and ask for compassion from somebody because of something that made me sad, I don't need you to state your opinions in a harsh way that only serves to make me feel worse. And I don't need you to forcefully shove your stubborn beliefs down my throat. All I wanted was a pat on the back. If you were too careless to see that... well. I have nothing more to say to you.
Possibly ever again.

But anyways...

I think I've talked about this before, but sometimes in the dead of night, when I'm lying in bed, unable to sleep for -insertwhateverreasonhere-, I find myself getting these weird, sudden cravings to hear certain songs by certain artists that I haven't even thought of in years. The other night, I suddenly wanted to listen to the band, Thursday. I have copies of two of their albums, but I can't find the one that I ACTUALLY want to listen to. So I'm stuck with the other one, but I don't know if I feel like listening to it tonight. I hate losing cd's. I lost one of my favourite Antiflag ones, not too long ago... and I've been wanting to listen to it since then, but I have no idea where it is. I have the box. But the actual cd is nowhere to be found. It's been lost since before I had an ipod, so I was never able to upload it onto there either. Boo. I remember when Muse's Origin of Symmetry album was lost... for the looooooongest time. When I finally found it, I popped it in my cd player and haven't been able to stop since. I think it's my favourite Muse album. You simply MUST listen to it in one sitting. In the dark. With your eyes closed, for best results ;)

Oh, just now, while watching tons of Dresden Dolls vids on youtube, (eee...Brian Viglione makes my heart flutter), I had a sudden urge to hear No Doubt's song "New". Which is weird 'cause I was never even a fan of No Doubt's work from that album onwards... I think "New" is the ONLY song I liked off of Return to Saturn. And that's it. Nothing can ever compare to Tragic Kingdom.

Last night, while perusing my artist list on my ipod, I passed over The Distillers, (which I had recently uploaded onto it, yet hadn't actually listened to yet), and I had a real desire to click on it, so I did. I was taken back to high school when I was in love with that album, Coral Fang. (I can't remember what grade that was, though.. I think 10th). If you're curious about the album, check out the songs "The Hunger", "Hall of Mirrors", and "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know". My top 3... tonight, I found their other album of theirs that I have, Sing Sing Death House, and it is now synched in my ipodzzzz. Best song off of that album is "City of Angels".

And after all that I end my night with listening to Combichrist's "Get Your Body Beat"...(which is totally fun to dance to). How's that for a total 360???
