"a wink and a nudge"

I PROMISE that this will be quick because it's 3:17am and i have to be awake in FOUR HOURS to go to work. and i'm not even really close to going to sleep. well, i guess i am. i just have to write this real quick.

SO, there is this awesome guy who writes this great blog about music. and he wrote a blog about CRASH KINGS. and there is another person in this world who loves blogging about Crash Kings and that person is me.

i was very excited to read this article. FIRST, Crash Kings themselves sent out the link in a tweet, but i didn't click on it. and then two days passed and i forgot about it. but then i went to the Crash Queen's facebook page and they had posted a link, so i read it.

OH MAN. best Crash Kings article ever.

this guy - this blogger - IS AWESOME. not only is he awesome because he now loves Crash Kings, but he seems like he knows a LOT about music.

ALSO - he posted ONE OF MY videos in his article! a video i took from the show in Clifton Park, NY!!! of Carry On! i was super excited to see that there.

(that link will take you to the article.)

he goes through every song on the record and describes how awesome it is. AND, does a breakdown of what he thinks the lyrics means - which is really awesome and funny.

(let's see how many more times i can use the word 'awesome' in this post.)

and not only is he awesome and funny, but he's RIGHT. there were many times in the article where i was like, "YEAHH!!!!!!"

like when he was talking about Mountain Man and he said,

"...even after you’ve heard the chorus for the 5th time it still doesn’t seem like they’re beating you over the head with it. Not my favorite by far, but I’m also not tired of it."

i was like, "YEAH! Mountain Man isn't my fave, but every time it comes on - i'm still really excited!!!!"

brillz.

BUT THE BEST, was when he was talking about 'You Got Me,' which, if you haven't picked up on - IS A SUPER SEXY SWEATY DIRTY SONG. that i love.

this is what he says about 'You Got Me,'

"There’s a sexy, dirty, funky vibe in this one, and coincidentally the lyrics follow suit. Great bass riff to go along with nicely accented drums (and some more furious tambourine). It’s Mary vs. Jenny in this one, and the oft-repeated phrase is “I think you got me where you want me, woman!” He intimates some dirty deeds (”Jenny… she does it for me, she’s going down, going down, going down tonight”) and it seems like there’s a wink and a nudge and we all know what’s going on."

A WINK AND A NUDGE?!?!?! i read that line. i laughed. i read it again. giggled. then i said aloud, "um, could there be a more perfect way to describe that song!!!?" and the answer is no. it's totally a 'wink and a nudge' song. OOHHHHH I LOVE IT.

because we allll know what's going on. OH. love it. and sooo sexy. and...dirtyandnasty.

today it was super hott outside and it was just horrible. and i was driving and You Got Me came on my mix and i said, (aloud, again)

JULIE: Ooooo what a hott sweaty song for a hott sweaty day.

AGAIN: listening to that song and watching Mike sweat is maybe the best thing ever.

also, i talk to myself a lot. aloud. is it ALOUD or OUT LOUD? i don't know. i will google.


ok, so in my googling of ALOUD and OUT LOUD, i can't quite come to a decision. i think it's because i am a bit too sleepy. here's what i think i have learned:

- they are not interchangeable like say, 'whilst' and 'while.'
- i'm not sure if i used 'aloud' the right way.

that's what i learned. i guess it would have made a difference in Twilight when he says,

ROBERT: Say it. OUT LOUD.

wait, robert is his real name. what's the twilight guy's name? oh!

EDWARD: Say it. OUT LOUD.

or,

EDWARD: Say it. ALOUD.

out loud definitely works better there.

ANYWAYS. i don't care about this right now.

THE POINT IS: go read that fine piece of blogging. and! watch my video that he posted in the article! i'm excited about that.

ok. 3:42am. have to be up at 7:30am. uugghhh. and i know i'll just be sitting around all day at work. that makes it even harder.

alright, have a great monday. the week is full of possibility!!!! love it.
