Is anyone out there?
Just in case anyone still gets updates from my old blog…
You can check out my current website www.burkeandlizzie.com for all the updated information you should ever need to know about my life.
I stumbled upon the link I posted below earlier this morning and it intrigues me greatly.
We just returned from vacation and I am at a loss for new music. I’m beginning to explore the band...

And everything must start from here
This is my last required blog post for my class, and as such, I thought it would be a good idea to count down for you the songs that I have found especially noteworthy this semester. Top ten songs I have reviewed that you must listen to (I forced myself to strive for diversity): 10. Raise the Sails- The Appleseed Cast 9. Take My Life- Deleted Scenes 8. Dirt on Your Shoes- Bishop Allen 7. ...
I’m not that lucky yet.
-Deleted Scenes
the truth is a lie you just need
As long as a band doesn’t sound like they’re out of high school, and they don’t sing about topics high schoolers sing about, then I guess it’s forgivable that they’re younger than me. I suppose as I get older that will continue to be the trend. DC area’s Deleted Scenes recently caught my attention, not because they released an album this week, but because of their growing hype since their...

The ambitious title of Sagarmatha, literally meaning Head of the Sky, is the Appleseed Cast’s latest album, released in mid-February. The title leads you to believe they may have mastered something, but the album has a greater transitory quality than that of a masterpiece. Despite changes to their ensemble, the band has been together for over ten years, so when they title their album something as...

“Hi, I’m Dan,” Dan Boeckner said as he walked towards me. I had just spent an hour listening to him play at Brillobox in Pittsburgh. It was only a week earlier that I first learned that Handsome Furs would be playing nearby. What timing! I was in and so was my roommate Joro. We arrived at the bar around 9:30, the posted start time of the show. To our dismay, the opening band didn’t begin to...

And kudos to them for being the first band with easily understandable lyrics I’ve reviewed thus far, it certainly...
Oh mom.
Context- telephone conversation about wedding dresses with my mother.
Mother: I found this wedding gown on ebay for 19.99 and I think that you might really like it. How do I send you the picture for it?
Me: Well, you can just send me the link. That'll be the easiest way.
Mother: How do I do that?
Me: Um.. well, mom. You click up on the bar where you type in a website. Then when the whole website name is highlighted you press Control and C at the same time.
Mother: Ok it didn't work nothing happened.
Me: No, nothing was supposed to happen yet. Now go to my email and open up a new message to me. Now press Control and V at the same time.
Mother: Oh okay I see it now.
After moments of no new email, my mother proceeded to read me the entire description of the dress, thereby discovering it was not even an option after all. Fail. No 19.99 ebay wedding gown for me.

WatchI had an assignment to create a picture “video” by using a free microsoft download, I was unimpressed by what was really just a slide show like what anyone can make in power point so I asked my professor if I could create a video in After Effects instead. This is what I came up with. It’s only 17 seconds long and took me several hours to figure out. So that’s fun, but I...

When the sun goes down we'll go out again
Sometimes when I listen to music I wonder how I’ll feel about it in twenty years. Will I still have a taste for quirky, avant-garde music or will my tastes mellow into lackluster easy-listening tunes of the decade (…or worse yet contemporary Christian music)? Animal Collective’s ninth album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, is one that I certainly will always have appreciation for, but I may...
