Earworm: Best Song Ever – One Direction

Yes, yes, I am posting about One Direction.  Ever since this song came out, it has been stuck to my head, and even worse, I made a video montage of a vacation this past summer, and used this as the musical background.  In fact, it was the theme for the week.  We dubbed it ‘Best Week Ever’, due to the fact my future nephews kept singing it all week, and it just stuck. Coupled with the fact I listened to the song a million times while cutting the footage together, since I wanted specific parts to match up to specific beats/lyrics.

I have to admit though, I am slowly becoming a fan, and I do enjoy their pop-y music.  The video is quite fun also.  I love Jonny, the studio exec, played by Louis Tomlinson.  It mimics Tom Cruise’s Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder.  Anyway, enjoy it.

Earworm: Still into you – Paramore

My favorite song of 2013.  I cannot get enough of this song, partially because I feel the same towards my soon to be wife.  It’s really something when you find that someone, and they make you feel that way.  I also love their self titled album.  Go pick it up if you haven’t done so.

The Last Days Of FOXHOUND (reissue 005 – Threads)

[The Last Days of FOXHOUND is a fan made comic that I stumbled upon a few years ago while perusing the Internetz as an MGS fan. This strip, created by a fellow MGS fan named Chris Douchette, ran this comic from 2003-2008. I was lucky enough to run into all 500 completed pages and wanted to share them with all of you readers. I’ll try to reiterate each and every consecutive page as time goes on. Most of the humor stems from the going on throughout the MGS series, so those who aren’t too familiar may find themselves slightly lost. My solution: play the MGS games. You guys wouldn’t be here anyways if you haven’t at least played MGS1. Anywho, enjoy!]

Earworm: The Great Escape – Boys Likes Girls

This song came out some four years ago, it was quite catchy then, but it (or the group) never really took off with me. I did hear this recently, and I have been humming it since. It’s not a bad song, but it’s just not great either. It sounded a lot like the song’s that were coming out at the time, which is why Boys Likes Girls never really stood out in my mind.
