Oh my god

13 March 2009

“Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god. Yes.”

That’s what I said to myself when I found those tickets for sale.

Screw finals. I’m going to spend my entire final term attending concerts by beautiful lady singers.


Zooey Deschanel, you are amazing

22 December 2008

How far would I go for you, Zooey? I would considering seeing this cheesy-looking Jim Carrey movie.

Zooey Deschanel is an actress and singer. She and M. Ward are together (aptly) known as “She & Him“.

This is an official video for “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” from their album, Volume One:

This is a live performance of another song from the same album, “Change Is Hard“:

This is Zooey in Tim Burton-esque makeup singing “Dream a Little Dream of Me“:

Here’s her on Conan a couple years ago, so you can hear her adorable laugh. If you skip to 5:05, you can hear her make fun of British people, their tabloids, and their obsession with celebrities I’ve never heard of who get funny nicknames, which is totally true. Hilarious.


More beautiful, singing ladies

21 October 2008

Following from a previous post concerning beautiful ladies with wonderful voices, I thought I would post a couple videos featuring another of my favorite lady singers (and yes I’ve stolen Tommy’s habit of calling females “ladies”).

This lady is Nina Persson, lead singer of The Cardigans, a very Swedish band. By the way, Swedish equals beautiful. The Cardigans are like this:

Oddly enough, it is very difficult to find a video of the Cardigans live that doesn’t look like it was shot by a retarded monkey.

Here’s a couple of interesting videos of Nina Persson solo. This first one is a pretty faithful cover of Whole Lotta Love, with Led Zeppelin just chilling out in the front row.

And this one is even weirder, an arrangement of Desafinado on some MTV program.
