Through the magic of StumbleUpon, I stumbled upon (clever, no?  I bet no one else thought of that joke.  Ever.) this playlist: "The Perfect House Party Playlist: Pre-Drunk Rock To Hip Hop".  It's a fairly comprehensive list of 50 tracks that does exactly as the title says: it goes from rock to hip hop (and then back to lighter fluff but I don't think that would make as good of a title).

I appreciate well-thought out playlists - it used to be my favourite thing to do before I got lazy and just played everything I had on random.  I still make playlists occasionally and I will probably make a few more soon - but I digress.  I perused the list and while I really like some of the selections - not many people pick Beck except for Devil's Haircut or Loser - I wouldn't call the list "perfect".

I think if you really want a good house party playlist, you have to mix the current pop songs in there.  I have no problems at all with including some original stuff - you have to have some unique flair to your music choices.  But you also don't want your guests going "what the hell is this?  I don't know it, so therefore, I cannot dance to it."  No, ideally, you want them to hear songs they know and like to dance to, and then have them asking "Hey what's this other song?  I've never heard it, but I love it!" for the non-radio pop stuff.

Really, there is nothing wrong with popular music that they play on the radio.  It is called popular for a reason: people like it.

I wish fall was more prominent here in Los Angeles. Maybe some leaf changes or something, more than one humid day of rain. October makes me miss NYC and subsequently makes me.... miss feeling in love. This is a feeling I stave off but from time to time, I can't help that I am female and wish my life was a little more like a romantic comedy. I want to wear cashmere turtlenecks and clutch him* while braving the weather in the city, burying my face into his shoulder at stop lights. I want to spend an entire day snuggled on the couch watching flicks we've never seen, drinking Irish coffees... while it's raining... in tri-blend leggings... ! Unfortunately, rather than a Woody Allen script, my life reads a lot like a lamer version of Sex and the City- less nudity, more douchebags.

But ! A girl can dream can't she ?

Everyday. :)

Lyrics and video:
I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now

Hear it! I'm screaming it!
You tremble at this sound

You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so
I'm so sick

I will admit, I really didn't recognize 90% of the music in Nick and Norah (spoiler warning in link!  It goes to Wikipedia).  In fact, while the movie was about a group of kids trying to find a Where's Fluffy? concert in New York, and that Michael Cera's character was in a band, and he was really good at making playlists, music wasn't really the true heart of the story.

It provides a vehicle to move it forward, but it's really a great story about a couple of kids who realize they like each other, and not their respective previous lovers.  Which, when you think about it, makes sense.  The movie is based on a book of the same name written by David Levithan (co-written by Rachel Cahn).  It should follow that character is the heart of the movie.

I found it very enjoyable and would watch it again, no question.  Don't be fooled by the trailers (which make the movie seem like it is a standard teen comedy a la Superbad) - it is good quality stuff.  One thing though - I definitely get the vibe that the movie is trying to pick off the success of Juno - the title font is a dead giveaway of that.
