Scribbles About Songs: Favorite David Bowie Songs

So David Bowie is my absolute favorite singer and his songs always make me feel better when I'm sad and they make me feel what I need to feel I think... if that makes sense. I don't want to get too gushy about it... I didn't even know all of his songs that well, basically I have Best of Bowie and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust... so those are kind of what this will be about... sorry I just kind of like to listen to singers that have been around a while just a little bit at a time so that they stay new to me. Soul Love  This is in no particular order but  this  one is my absolute favorite. I've listened to this 1,000 times. I think the lyrics of this song are absolutely beautiful. This is probably the best, most heartbreaking love song I've ever heard... and there may not be any more truthful and honest lyrics. It is just such a beautiful song... I feel like that's what I'm going to be saying about all these songs cause there's not much to say abo...

Scribbles about TV: First Full Week of April 2015

I didn't watch much this week... so yeah. Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon. Amazing this week. I was disappointed in Madonna's performance... but they're still funny shows that I liked a lot. I actually watched Kat Dennings on Kelly and Michael too cause she was on a lot of shows this week and I like her. So yeah. Watched that. I watched Mike and Molly and it was actually pretty funny. Don't watch it all the time, but I liked it! I watched The Middle, The Goldbergs Modern Family and Blackish. All were really funny this week. I think Blackish was my favorite... The Golbergs is my favorite show of all of those, but Blackish was really funny this week and had a cameo with Brandi Maxxx from Parks and Rec, so that was cool. Shark Tank! I love Shark Tank its the only reality show that I kind of like... but its more of a competition than a reality show, but its really good. And Flight of The Conchords cause I love it. I'm pretty sure that was it... I missed New Girl...

Man Crush Monday: Flight of The Conchords

My most recent re-obsession has been Flight of the Conchords. It is a brilliant brilliant comedy that ended a while ago and it shouldn't have ended at all. It should still be on. It was sooooo ahead of its time. If it were on now it would probably be a hit. I saw it as a hit back then because it was hilarious and amazing... and clearly everyone on this show is crush worthy... but I'm going to focus on mainly Brett and Jemaine... I think. But Rhys Darby, Arj Barker, and Eugene Mirman are also in this show and are just amazing. And the guy that played Gale on Breaking Bad... lol. ANYWAY here is why they are my man crushes. 1) They're amazing together and separately- Both of them together are absolutely amazing, but Jemaine is more of an actor and a comedy guy and Brett is more of a musician. Brett has an Oscar for his work on The Muppet Movie. Jemaine has a been in a bunch of indie comedies. He has a movie I think is out now called What We Do In The Shadows that looks reall...

Scribbles About TV: End of March 2015

I watched a lot of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I love this show. I can't stop watching it! Its really good! I watched this weeks Once Upon A Time and it was really good. I didn't see it last week. I almost gave up on it... but I really liked the Ursula story. It was really good. Its a good show. I think I need to watch what I missed too... so yeah. Missed Bob's Burgers... but I did not miss my favorite show currently on television, and that is The Last Man on Earth. I watched it on Sunday and I like it so much I went back and watched some other episodes on Monday. Such a funny show and really well done. I didn't think it would be a great concept, I thought it'd get boring... but every week when its over I want a little more. And that is the sign of a fantastic show in my eyes. I watched Two Broke Girls which I haven't seen in a really long time. I don't find it that funny... but it was the only thing on... so I watched it. I also watched a re-run of Sha...

Throwback Thursday: Shannon's Awesome Mix Vol. 1

This is my "Guardians of the Galaxy" mixtape of all the songs I liked most in high school and that I think are important to my life.  1) Feeling This by Blink 182-  I wasn't all that into Blink 182 until I was a senior in high school and they reunited and I saw them in concert. This song might not be my favorite of theirs, but it's a good way to start off the Awesome Mix. There was a boy I liked senior year and I listened to this song and it gave me the feels and whatnot. It's a song I still like to listen to when I am first noticing that I like someone. It makes sense for that.  2) Shots by LMFAO ft. Lil John-  They played this like 4 times at my prom. Or maybe this was just the only good song they played at my prom. Either way, this is a completely inappropriate prom song, and it was hilarious when my principal, who is a nun, heard them say Buttery Nipples. Side note: now that I can drink I've still only ever had one shot and I kind of want to know what a bu...

Shannon Reviews: Muppets Most Wanted

I absolutely love the muppets and I was soooo excited for this movie. It has my two favorite female actresses, Tina Fey and Miss Piggy and sooo many more funny people in it and the muppets are amazing and it just looked overall like a really great fun movie. And it was a really great and fun movie. The music was amazing, I'm a big fan of Flight of The Conchords, so of corse I was very excited that Brett McKenzie did the music for this and the other recent muppet movie. I think he did a fantastic job of making it slightly whimsical and funny. I thought that all the non muppet cast members did an amazing job singing as well. Josh Groban and Jemaine Clement were the only two professional singers that I think were in the movie, but the whole cast did a great job. Ricky Gervais was really fantastic in my opinion. I'm not totally sure that they all did their own singing come to think of it... But if they did they did a great job! And I was a little sad that Jason Segal and Amy Ad...
