And Sometimes Things Just Don't Rhyme...

I shall take a brief interlude from my bizarro, depressing lyrics to say...

I love these boys.

Especially Matt Bellamy. I could marry him right now and die happy.
I am completely infatuated with "The Resistance." Album of the year, no doubt.
And, it's recent release has saved my week from being incredibly dismal.
So, thanks again Muse, for your beautiful music.
I swear, you have a song for every emotion I've ever felt.

Cookies, Illegibility, and a Snake Playing the Bongos

Once I was at the grocery store and overheard a slightly overweight woman go up to a cashier on her way into the store and say "If you see me buying cake when I come through here, don't let me do it." I found it terribly funny at the time, but I think I get it tonight. I thought it was a good idea to buy a big pack of cookies on sale even though I live alone. And what happened? I ate half of them. So tonight, instead of just feeling alone, I can feel alone and fat. I think I'll warn the cashier next time. Make them keep me accountable for avoiding impulsive cookie purchases.
Wrote a song last night around 4am. Took a video of it but when I watched it this morning I realized it's not something I want to put on the internet (definitely me in my pajamas playing the accordion on my couch...). I'll take a less-awful video of it soon perhaps.

Here's what the lyrics look like:

Okay, so those are all kinds of illegible. But if you click on it, it gets bigger and you can actually read it, if you have any desire to.

Here, have a picture of a serpent partaking in beat poetry (it was on the opposite side of the page for whatever reason. I <3 my notebooks)

That's all I got.

I've been terrible at keeping up this blog. I guess you can blame it on the bleak songwriting dry spell of sorts I slogged through this summer. I've been a bit prolific lately (or attempted to be), so I'm going to work on updating this a lot more often.

That being said, here is the first of what is soon to be several half-baked song-droppings.
This one is more half-baked than most, and the video quality is horrific. But, alas, here it is anyway. Enjoy it in all of it's psychedelic late night sideways glory.

Haha...guess what my favourite song is right now? If you guessed Muse's "Uprising," you are correct!

Hey! Look look, another crazy Lauren blog. Cyberspace does not need another one of those, you are saying to yourself right now. Don't deny it, that was totally what you were thinking.
But wait - this one's different! This blog will soon become home to all sorts of musical musings and lyrical droppings. I'll upload exclusive videos of new songs I write, as well as recordings of my own interpretation of various cover songs. You might even get to see a video or two of the infamous trash rock jam sessions with my band, Original Sound Trash. I'll keep you up to date with the happenings of my band, which can be further investigated at www.originalsoundtrash.com (check us out!).
So there you go. It's not just another crazy Lauren blog - it's a crazy Lauren music blog. You know you wanna subscribe. ^_^ I would love to hear feedback and opinions on the stuff I post! (The sound of Internet crickets is always a little unnerving...)
