Turns out there is more new music, NAO, and I really have been living under a rock.

As it turns out, I have been living under a rock. After finding new Cobra Starship, I have now discovered the video for Paramore’s “Monster” and new Panic! At The Disco.

The rock must be really huge and obviously doesn’t get much internet.

So, Panic! At the Disco split in half. The half that kept the name returned to their original sound and are awesome. It’s like Pretty. Odd was just, well, just that – pretty odd. They’ve returned to the theatrical exaggeration that was A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, but doesn’t  have the same catchy awesome sound. Both are on their new album Vices & Virtues.

The Ballad of Mona Lisa:

 

Ready To Go:

 

It’s weird to see Paramore with two less members. But they still have the same energy and punch they’ve always had. I really like “Monster” and the video to it is pretty awesome. Paramore always have epic videos to accompany their songs.

Monster:

Cobra Starship is baaaaaaack.

I must have been living under a rock. That wouldn’t be hard lately, actually. I have had a one track mind.

Anyway, turns out Cobra Starship is making some beats again. Today I came across the single “You Make Me Feel” ft. Sabi.

No idea who this Sabi person is and I don’t really care to find out, she is definitely nothing spectacular.

And the new single doesn’t really go anywhere for me. It doesn’t have the same energy that past singles have had, like “Good Girls Go Bad”.

However Cobra Starship has the tendency to create songs that don’t sound so great when you first listen to them and then one day you realise, actually this is amazing. That’s what happened with their last album for me.

So with the new single they also have a new album Night Shades. Even thought I’m not completely wowed by this first single, if I know Cobra Starship, the album will most likely be pretty good, even if it doesn’t wow you on the first listen.

I might listen to “You Make Me Feel” a few more times before obtaining the soundtrack – it’s got to be worth the money, yanno? So watch this space for an album review, but in the mean time here is the new single.

Waiting is painful.

Haven’t been up to much lately, but I feel I need to write, so an update on my mundane life was needed.

The last few weeks have kind of being a blur, I’m not really sure what I’ve been up to.

I went back to Hastings for a week, nothing much happened. Then I came back to Wellington and had a job interview and then headed to Auckland and had another job interview. (Will do a separate post on Auckland shenanigans.)

Back to Wellington we came and now I’m stuck playing the waiting game again. Waiting to hear whether or not I have a job. This is my life. Nothing much else happens.

So I’m catching up on TEEVEE I have missed in the last week. Guess I should look for jobs too.

I know I’m all about perseverance and I won’t stop until I find a job, but I’m tired. I’m tired of trawling Trade Me, Seek and other job sites and applying for one after the other and most of the time not hearing back from them. I just want a job. Life would actually be so much better if I was to have one already.

Anyway, as I said, not much has happened, not much is happening, because this is my life and nothing really happens.

I will persevere.

I know I have been rather absent lately. I apologise. It’s a hard road sometimes.

I was in one of my down/funk periods and if you haven’t realised by now when that happens I don’t tend to write. Think of it as me saving you from my emo ranting. I kind of knew one was going to come after I lost the constant that was Oh, The Scandal! but I’m getting back in to it.

I had a few more interviews and even though I didn’t get those jobs, my confidence has been boosted a bit. It seems kind of weird that that has happened, but hey, I’ll go with it.

I have another interview on Tuesday for a job which would be absolutely perfect for me. So I’m going to do heaps of prep for it and exude confidence. I possibly have another one next week too, which I’m just waiting to hear back on – I’ve already been contacted because of my application.

Currently you could probably say my moods are dependent on how good my job hunt is going. It’s just how it is.

I’ve come to realise over the last month or so that I am quite a determined person. I am going to persevere until I get a job. I might have set-backs and think that it’s not going to happen, but eventually it will. I will get a job.
