Happy 2010!

Just wishing everyone happy 2010!

WordPress Updated

I had some issues upgrading to the latest release of WordPress (2.8.6) and lost my sidebar content and all of my plugins but that’s okay. I’ll try to configure the sidebar and the blog as soon as possible.

UPDATE: The backup of the blog is also missing several posts from before

Gossip Girl Vs. 90210

I honestly did not pay too much attention when this show first aired but then being a O.C. fan, it was just a matter of time before I got obsessed with the show. After watching season one, I am not too impressed with the Gossip Girl’s soundtrack and what is this I hear? they’re releasing a soundtrack, go figure. Anyway, here are some of the tracks that were featured on the premiere of the second season.

Shwayze – Buzzin’
Lady GaGa – Paparazzi
Teyana Taylor – Google Me
Jem – Crazy

If you watch television on a regular basis, this show was inevitable. CW pushed this show hard in terms of advertisement and there were lot of talk as to how hard this show was going to flop, but then guess what? the premiere wasn’t all that bad and Shenae Grimes didn’t hurt the show one bit. Okay, enough talk of how the show is, lets get down to business. Here are some of the tracks featured on the series premiere.

MGMT – Time to Pretend
The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name
Colby O’Donis – What You Got
Tilly And The Wall – Beat Control
Tilly And The Wall – Pot Kettle Black

With artists like MGMT, The Ting Tings and Tilly and The Wall, 90210 is just way too hip for Gossip Girl, soundtrack wise. Sure, Jem and Lady GaGa puts up a decent fight but I’m sorry, it just doesn’t cut it. Who knows, in the future episodes, Gossip Girl will play some Lykke Li and turn the tables around, but I highly doubt it.

Back In It With Lykke Li

With my summer schedule pretty much done with, I am just getting back into things. I have been updating consistently on BDRLS but I rarely touched this blog as of late. Over the past months, I wanted to write more articles and tutorials but I just got really lazy. To make up for this bad habit of mine, I took the time to upgrade to the latest Wordpress release, moderate some comments, update plugins and reorganized my blogroll. Enough with this weak talk, lets get started with the latest post.

Being a avid Hypem reader that I am, there was no way around Lykke Li, a Swedish singer who is taking the electronic and alternative genres into new heights. At this point, Li is pretty much all I listen to, but then she is nowhere near Feist in terms of my female vocalists obsession. I noticed that she will be performing in Toronto this October at the Mod Club and I am so there. Her new album Youth Novels is one of those albums where every single track is awesome and amazing. If I had to choose, I would pick “Little Bit” and “I am Good, Im Gone” as my top two tracks

Lame 20th Birthday :(

Blah, it was my 20th birthday yesterday and what did I do? I wrote 4 pages of essay. Its essentially my fault since I left all my work till the last minute and it was either write the essays on my birthday or FAIL the course and be miserable with a horrific GPA which will ultimately lead to no job, which is just depressing. Its okay I guess, I still have next year and the year after that.

It wasn’t all that sad though, my mom brought this cute cake with Oreo ears! How can you be sad? Just take a moment and look at that cake.
