Cold

It is absolutely freezing in Pittsburgh if you didn't already know. I am very much affected by this weather, which is not fun. I need to move down to Atlanta or something, anything, just give me heat. I can deal with the cold though, it is the slush that makes me angry. Now don't get me wrong, the snow is okay but the greyish brown stuff that looks like someone spilt their slurpee is not.

But life goes on to bigger and better things, for example like my upcoming favorite holiday. Yes, you guessed it Valentine's Day. I have always loved it, even though the vast majority of them I have been single and didn't have a real valentine. I suppose I just like seeing people be happy or I just really like chocolate. Possibly both. This Valentine's Day is going to be very different for me though, not only will I not have a valentine, but I probably won't get chocolate either.

Well that is all for now, I have to go plan my shots for some photography. Until next time, stay classy.

I Am... Sasha Fierce

In the past three months there have definitely been some good albums that have come out, but Beyonce's I Am... Sasha Fierce is the only one I can't stop listening to. Overall it is a great album that is very enjoyable to listen to. Her first two singles from the album Single Ladies(Put a Ring on it) and Diva, were definitely good choices to catch her audiences attention. Beyonce comes back harder on this album and you really get to see that with Diva and Video Phone. Both songs have a steady bass track and it makes for the song to be even more catchy. On the other hand, she doesn't forget to give the soft ballads like Broken Hearted Girl. Broken Hearted Girl is one of my favorite songs off of the album because of the relatable lyrics and the build in the music composition as the song progresses. The track starts off with a simple instrument, and slowly more sounds are added from both instruments and synth. By the end of the song, the beat is slow and irresitible. As a whole the album is a bit different from her older albums due to the intensities of the songs. Majority of the tracks are more dance ready or classic r&b style, while there is not a whole lot inbetween.

Albums of 09

Yes, yes, I know it is a bit early to start talking about the albums of 2009. However, the buzz on certain albums is already getting me a bit excited.

1) Animal Collective's "Merriweather Post Pavillion"
2) Reel Big Fish's "Fame, Fortune, and Fornication"
3) Sonic Youth's "The Eternal"
4) Eminem's "Relapse"
5) Missy Elliot's "Block Party"
6) Franz Ferdinand "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand"

Also, there are a few other artists with albums in the works that may be hitting stores sometime in 09 including: Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Imogen Heap. All of which I will be waiting anxiously for. With all these albums I have high hopes for and I hope I won't be let down. I doubt it though. Time will tell and I can't wait.
