This Scissor Sisters song and remix is so old, but I have listened to it again recently. I love it when it says "I don't feel like dancing without you" over and over again. I think the song is actually kind of sad. I always imagine the song is being sung by someone whose love has recently died. I try to make the lyrics of songs darker than they really are.

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing (Linus Loves Dub)

The mp3 I have of the above song sounds a little messed up. Sorry about that.

The remix of the song was done by Linus Loves, and he has another song on his MySpace that sounds just like Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Israel". He must have sampled it. His song is called "Rock Chk", and you can listen to it on his music player on his MySpace.

Listen to "Israel" here ...

and here is Linus Love's "Rock Chk" for comparison ...

In other news, the new Harry Potter movie has a trailer out, and it looks great! I love the idea of Voldemort as a child ...

My friend, Cristen, and I are supposed to go to the Dallas World Aquarium this Saturday. I am really excited because as far as I know we do not have anything like this in Austin, and it will be nice to be somewhere you can walk around indoors. There is also a rain forest that is connected to the aquarium, maybe ... I am not sure, but it sounds like it will be great. I love nature ... as long as I don't have to sweat to appreciate it.

M.I.A. posted a little mix she did (I think) of all her Kala songs. The mix is fun to listen to. Here it is ...

M.I.A. - Kala Mini Mix (from M.I.A.'s MySpace)

The guy in the photo with M.I.A. is Benjamin Brewer who is in a band called The Exit. His dad is Chairman and CEO of Warner Music, Edgar Brofman Jr. M.I.A. is supposedly engaged to him. The photo came from Bonafide-Hustler.com.  

Barack Obama will definitely be the Democrat nominee for the general election so that is very nice. Here is his speech from Tuesday night ...

Here is a video of a very awkward speech John McCain gave on the same day. The video shows reactions from lots of news pundits that agree he was not at his best when it came to the delivery.

Here's my link again for anyone who wants to donate to Barack Obama's (general election) campaign ...

I've posted one video from her before, but I thought I would post another since she does a lot of good covers of songs I like.

Here is her cover of Feist's "My Moon My Man" ...

She has a lot of Regina Spektor covers (she also has original songs), too, on YouTube, and she has a page on MySpace.

Run for your lives! MySpace SPAM is coming for you, and they're hungry!

I don't know what has caused MySpace to be so SPAMalicious lately, but I am getting tons of messages and "friend" requests from half-naked men and women who want you to add them as a friend so they can send you a link to their sex cam. I have always known about this type of SPAM, but I have never seen it appear so frequently.

Also, I have a true MySpace friend whose site got hacked so she is sending SPAM comments to all of her friends that say stuff like "OMG! Her boyfriend is going to be so mad when he finds out she did this!" Then, there is a link to some pornographic MySpace profile, but I think the profile has already been taken down so when you click on it, you can get an error page.

This is insane. MySpace better watch out, or the masses who use it will start ignoring it and search for smarter, safer social networking sites like VOX. ;)

I've always despised MySpace for its cheap looking pages and lack of functionality, but I have a MySpace just so I can experience all the crapitude for fun.
