Our love is so rock steady

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Wedding

I’d like to wish my most favoritest couple ever a very very happy wedding anniversary and I hope they have many many more to come. They are one of the only Hollywood couples that know how to do it right and it’s a breath of fresh air. I just hope Ms. Stefani finally realizes that it’s OK to loan him out every now and then as I’ve been waiting for my turn for quite some time. 😉

Also, some brief thoughts on last night’s VMA’s:

– Kanye West is the biggest douche on this planet.
– I have come to the conclusion that I do not understand Lady Gaga.
– Muse being introduced as “the band that influenced Twilight” put a stake through my heart. Repeatedly.
– I am pretty far removed from what is considered “popular music.”
– I’m totally OK with that.

ps; No worries! The weekend wrap-up will be up tomorrow – I have to play a little catch up!

1. Muse: The Resistance
1. Muse: The Resistance

Besides the Smashing Pumpkins, I can’t really say I love a band more than Muse. Not very surprising since they have a lot of similar characteristics musically. What can I say? I’m predictable. Either way, this band blows my mind on a regular basis so I had been impatiently waiting for their new album for what seems like ages. Finally, there was a leak this week and I didn’t think twice before hitting the download button. I know people are going to hate because that’s what people do, but my GOD is this album good. I can only describe it as an eargasm – I would make love to every track, no joke. What other band can close their album with a 3-part symphony? Absolutely no one, but Muse. My favorite of the moment? Undisclosed Desires. It could be described as Smashing Pumpkins & Depeche Mode’s song baby and it is all sorts of awesome. Have I mentioned that I am going to see them open up for U2 next month in Tampa? Because I am so excited I could burst. I’ve never seen them live and although we have nosebleed seats (seriously, who can afford decent U2 tickets???), I am going to be happier than a pig in shit. No joke. Plus, there are rumors that they will be playing a 12 song set, much longer than typical openers (because they are awesome, hello)! So if you are going, I’ll be the certifiably insane fangirl singing and dancing like a fool. Feel free to come over and flail with me.

1. Billy Corgan & his Spirits in the Sky
1. Billy Corgan & his Spirits in the Sky

Billy Corgan’s latest venture is being labeled as a “supergroup,” but I just like to think of Spirits in the Sky as a group of talented musicians that got together to have a little fun. The Spirits got together in remembrance of Sky Saxon, the Seeds’ singer/bassist that passed away earlier this year from an organ infection. The group includes Dave Navarro, Linda Strawberry, Mike Byrne (the Pumpkins’ new 19 year old drummer) and former members of other psychedelic 70’s bands. They decided to play to small crowds in tiny venues (such as Muddy Waters Coffee Shop) around Southern California and from the footage I have heard and seen, it was quite the show! Corgan premiered a few new songs, which can always be a little scary for a big Pumpkins fan like myself, but I was beyond impressed. The new material sounds great! I just wish they would have decided to mosey on over to our neck of the woods. Why does California get all the good stuff? Anywho, I’m happy for Billy because I know at this point in his life, what he wants to do more than anything, is just play good music for the fun of it. And he definitely seemed to achieve that with Spirits in the Sky.

Banana Ice Cream

A few posts back, I featured a great recipe for all my fellow readers that suffer from milk allergies but still crave a late night pint of Ben & Jerry’s (maybe that’s just me?). Who knew that if you froze bananas, placed them in a blender and then froze them again, you would get the most delicious ice cream? I was still a little weary while the hubs was preparing the concoction, but sure enough, the results completely blew me away! It had a custard-y consistency and a very heavy banana flavor, which I guess doesn’t work for everyone, but being a huge fan of bananas, tasted heavenly to me. Best part? My stomach did not rebel or send me any nasty messages throughout the day. Nothing. It was beautiful!

Happy Hump Post: Josh Holloway

happyhumptumblr_kp4wuk7s2q1qzg4qso1_400

First off, do you guys like my new logo for Hump Day? It reminded me of the Barbie lipstick logo, which I thought fit in with the theme pretty nicely: good girls being bad. OK, back to the matters at hand. Hot men. Today’s hump day hottie is everyone’s favorite castaway, Josh Holloway, who plays Sawyer on LOST. I’m pretty sure everyone knows how big of a LOST fan I am by now and the island is not in short supply of good looking people. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Sawyer is on the top of that list. Funny enough, I couldn’t stand his character when the show started and it actually took several seasons for me to warm up to him – now, he is one of my favorites…for more reasons that one. Enjoy some of those below. 😉
