But I am a little book worm. I found out about this Read-A-Thon that goes Monday to Wednesday which I will be participating in. Also my friend Danielle who reviews books asked me if I wanted to write a review about a few books so what better way to kill two birds with one stone?

I read the books a few years ago, loved them. But seriously I feel like whoever decides the music for the show is taking everything of my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">playlist</span>! Be sure to check out these:<br /> <span style="color:#33cc00;"> "In My Stride" by Oh Mercy</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URLppZ_pUwI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URLppZ_pUwI</a><br /> It is so beautiful and catchy at the same time.

I am a total twilight nerd, have been for quite some time now. Also being, quite obviously a music nerd I love making <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">playlists</span> for the books I read, so back before there were Twilight movies I made plenty of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">playlists</span>. I am always so excited for these soundtracks so I can compare my personal soundtrack to the real deal. These soundtracks have almost made their own genre of alternative of rock to some known as "Twilight Rock". These soundtracks take, virtually unknown artists and put them on these albums that land in the hands of every obsessed teenager like myself. Good publicity no? The Eclipse soundtrack excited me <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">particularly</span> because it has some artists on here that I already love to begin with like Metric, The Black Keys and of course Muse</span><span style="color:#ff0000;"> ( I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM)</span><span style="color:#999900;">. I also got turned on to some artists that I had heard of but never really took and interest in like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Sia,</span> Florence + The Machine. Overall I thought the soundtrack was good. There were some songs that almost put me asleep, with this type of music there is a very fine line between emotional indie rock and then just " cut your wrist" songs. Don't get me wrong, I love those types of songs but they were simply over shadowed by some of the other songs. My two favorites were "</span> <span style="color:#6600cc;">Heavy In Your Arms</span>"<span style="color:#999900;"> by Florence + The Machine and "</span><span style="color:#66ff99;">Neutron Star <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Collision</span> ( Love Is Forever)</span><span style="color:#999900;"> " By Muse.</span></div><div><span style="color:#999900;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#999900;"> </span><span style="color:#993399;">- <span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Marissa Lynn</em></span></span></div>Marissa Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00876352971724953153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747625557840782664.post-9316052204441824852010-06-23T14:17:00.006-04:002010-06-23T18:18:27.934-04:00Hello by Tristan Prettyman<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3h7w3UlOucPlF485t55SueETeKKUYE6YT6ElO8Q1-dTZYY75Usl67jFbcWCWZ_bMavHfVykH1HUXwta-vCUmHUXRVTi9SRS35eJH_trA5LP1RKo9WtTyPNsVWrXd-LOQzTRCc4HIJrnPc/s1600/Tp.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486039701776564802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3h7w3UlOucPlF485t55SueETeKKUYE6YT6ElO8Q1-dTZYY75Usl67jFbcWCWZ_bMavHfVykH1HUXwta-vCUmHUXRVTi9SRS35eJH_trA5LP1RKo9WtTyPNsVWrXd-LOQzTRCc4HIJrnPc/s320/Tp.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I have listened to Tristan Prettyman's first CD <strong>Twenty Three</strong>, for a while now, I can sing the entire thing from memory, but for some reason I have only listened to her newest album just recently. Her sophmore album has me hooked just lie the first did. It is the raw Tristan we know and love but her songs have fresh emotion. Some make me want to cry and others make we smile when I am actually crying. For me, I love how all her songs aren't just " Oh I'm in love" type songs or " Oh I'm heartbroken" type songs. There is a middle ground, her songs progress into whatever emotion she is trying to convey. She can also go from singing sweet ballads to rocking out with a rough electric guitar, something I appreciate from and artist. My two favorite songs from the album would have to be <span style="color:#333399;">"Don't Work Yourself Up"</span> and <span style="color:#ff9900;">"You Got Me".</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKOWV93Fj8snRPL82jqHhHcAd841dvZu_ZMtfcD4X_gIAaUmimo_iRzU15RGVVVF48VKjZtkIAswOfzSwVG-glDS_Odg4X_rCBgRSZs0r8fU2X6D6UAzGyFEfhanyNjMKbB-vo5gOdjKQv/s1600/hello.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486040534314750082" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKOWV93Fj8snRPL82jqHhHcAd841dvZu_ZMtfcD4X_gIAaUmimo_iRzU15RGVVVF48VKjZtkIAswOfzSwVG-glDS_Odg4X_rCBgRSZs0r8fU2X6D6UAzGyFEfhanyNjMKbB-vo5gOdjKQv/s320/hello.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My review of Jack Johnson's latest will be up as soon as I get the CD which will hopefully be very soon!<br /><br />- Marissa LynnMarissa Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00876352971724953153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747625557840782664.post-29542793023119719132010-05-19T20:06:00.004-04:002010-05-19T20:27:18.605-04:00Here We Go...<span style="color:#6633ff;">My first post! I have been meaning to do this for awhile now. I am still debating what C.D. to blab about so in the mean time I thought I would post the inspiration for the name of my blog</span> <span style="color:#6600cc;">( Through the Radio).</span> <span style="color:#6666cc;">I really love Michelle Branch so while checking out her youtube channel, I found this live version of a song that is not yet released. It really got through to me, it just makes so much sense! So here it is! Michelle talks a little bit but if you just want to here the song fast forward to about 1:38<br /></span><br /><object style="WIDTH: 425px; HEIGHT: 344px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rGy2ta4tGFs"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rGy2ta4tGFs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="color:#6633ff;">One more thing! One of my best friends Danielle ( button in the side bar) inspired me to make this blog because of the amazing-ness of her blog where she reviews books. I'm a book worm and her blog is fantastic! She is having a contest over at her blog to win a book (<em>Summer of Skinny Dipping </em>by Amanda Howells ).
