when there wasnt anywhere for me to go i stumbled into deep love with your rock n roll

i cannot stop making radio stations on pandora. it amazes me how they pick songs, whoever wrote the program its built on needs a noble peace prize or something. if you dont know what it is, its this site you go to, you type in a song or an artist and it builds a radio station around your suggestions. i made one with coconut records and she & him, i got songs from both artists as well as songs from belle & sebastian, the shins, and feist and very rarely is a song played that i dont like. there is even a drop menu on each song and if you click where it says why did you chose this song it will tell you the elements in the song that they believe appeal to you. apparently, i like music with "electronica influences, r & b influences, rock n roll roots, jazz influences, demanding instrumental part writing, melodic horn lines, mild rhythmic syncopation, basic rock song structure, folk influences, mixed acoustic and electronic instrumentation, pop rock qualities, a subtle use of vocal harmony, acoustic rhythm piano, and a mix of major and minor key tonality" that is of course, a description encompassing all of the stations i have saved right now not just one. its so fun though yesterday i made a station around "i cant take my eyes off of you",buddy holly, ritchie valens, and the ronettes and so all day all i listened to was that doo wop pop from the 50/60s. today im in a brighter mood though, so im listening to my tilly & the wall/the bird and the bee station-- its happy, fun, whimsical indie pop. <3
i cant wait to go shopping today.


this is a weird/cute video but its better than the artist's and really i just cant get this song out of my head.
