The Black Keys

If I had to describe The Black Keys in one word, it would definitely be "badass". I am in love with this band, and am currently looking into getting tickets to see them live in concert this May. I posted below a link to a video of one of their live performances, and also I posted a music video of their hit song Lonely Boy from the new album El Camino.

The video is very simple...and genius! Love it.

50/50

The movie 50/50 came out on Tuesday and I cannot wait to watch it again! It's something I would highly recommend seeing. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen's performances alone make it worth while. The movie handles the very serious issue of cancer, and still manages to make a very touching and funny film... Here is a very short trailer.

National Champions

Thought it was about time I got a post up about this...

                                                                    NDSU BISON FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

And one of the coolest parts is how a Thief River Falls Prowler Alumni (where I graduated), Alex Yaggie, was a senior on the team. That is him in the picture below, number 58.

Thomas Jefferson

Awhile back I recieved an email from my Dad about this man, Thomas Jefferson. Ever since I read it I have not been able to stop thinking about it. Please take the time to read what this incredible man had to say by clicking on the link below.

Sweet Disposition

I remember very distinctly the first time I saw this music video. My friend Beruk and I were lifting weights early in the morning before school and we had the VH1 channel playing through the speakers. When this song started playing, we both stopped what we were doing and turned to watch the television. We didn't move until the song was over. We then looked at each other and talked about how weird it was. This happened every time this song came on believe it or not! It was like we were hypnotized. Eventually VH1 stopped playing it, and I think that's when I realized how much I loved the song. I forgot what it was called so I couldn't go look it up on my own. Thankfully, Emily made me watch the movie 500 Days of Summer with her one night (which is a phenomenal movie) and I heard it again. It has become one of my favorites ever since, and I wanted to post it on my blog. Part of the reason I maybe like it so much is because I associate it with happy memories, which is something I tend to do with a lot of songs. There is something about it that is just calming and relaxing, but also makes me want to get up and do something at the same time. For me, it's music for the soul.
