Eclipse Soundtrack

Duhn duhn duhhhhn.

It’s here. Already.

It seems like just yesterday it was October and I was blogging about the New Moon Soundtrack, and now, here I am – in JUNE – blogging about the Eclipse Soundtrack. Time flies. Happy summer vacation, by the way.

So, tracks:

1. Eclipse (All Yours) ~ Metric
2. Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) ~ Muse
3. Ours ~ The Bravery
4. Heavy in Your Arms ~ Florence and the Machines
5. My Love ~ Sia
6. Atlas ~ Fanfarlo
7. Chop and Change ~ The Black Keys
8. Rolling in on a Burning Tire ~ The Dead Weather
9. Let’s Get Lost ~ Bat for Lashes
10. Jonathan Low ~ Vampire Weekend
11. With You in My Head ~ The Black Angels
12. A Million Miles an Hour ~ Eastern Conference Champions
13. Life on Earth ~ Band of Horses
14. What Part of Forever ~ Cee-Lo
15. Jacob’s Theme ~ Howard Shore

Favorites… So I’m making myelf choose?! So, obviously, I love them all. The ones that really stand out then, I guess…

-Neutron Star Collision. I love Muse It completely fits Eclipse, too (the lyrics).
-Heavy in your Arms — I like it. I think it sounds pretty
-My Love — I completely loved Sia before, and now… I like her more. Oh, and it reminds Sophie and I of  Titanic
-Chop and Change — one of my favorites on the whole CD
-A Million Miles an Hour — I think the analogy is funny. ‘Cause, you know, vampires, they… run fast… Never mind.

Oh yeah, and Howard Shore is a step down from Alexandre Desplat.

So, that’s all for now

(PS: Anyone wanna take a guess of why every single picture of Robert Pattinson is uber creepy? Just curious.)

New Moon Release Party With Edi Gathegi

Well, well, well. My life has been very eventful, you see. I’ve stood about fifteen feet away from a cast member of New Moon. And he was not very excited, unlike the screaming fangirls.

My story: All of the Twilight stars were scattered around the country for the release of the New Moon DVD, and Edi Gathegi (Laurent) was in Pittsburgh. So, I was excited but figured “Oh well, I’m going to Borders, and I’m satisfied.” But, I get a call from Sophie, who told me Edi would be a short thirty minutes away, on McKnight Road in Ross Township. So I was very unsatisfied with Borders by this point. I asked my mom if she could take us, and she (being a cool mom) agreed. So, I set off at 8:45 to pick up Sophie at her house, and around an hour later at 9:45, we arrived at 4801 McKnight Road – Best Buy. There was absolutely no line, and we figured we were in the wrong place… Then we saw the CAFs and knew we were right where we were supposed to be. We were second in line and so stoked. About an hour later, my mom decides to go ask one of Edi’s publicists if she could get an interview with him for her blog. He said maybe, and that he would check with Edi. He also added that Edi was in a bad mood. Now, why would you be in a bad mood if your movie is coming out on DVD and you’re going to meet some of your fans? Celebrities are so sensitive. Anyway, another hour passed, and at around 11:45, Edi came out. The DJ from 105.9 asked him a few questions, and he seemed alright, but he only talked for about two minutes, and then the man fled. Literally. He waved good-bye, then walked into Best Buy with his body guards and left through the back exit after talking to publicists and Best Buy employees for about three minutes. He was there and gone in not ten minutes. Meanwhile, all of these fans have been waiting to see him for hours, and we waited out in the cold (it was about forty, forty-five degrees but seemed a lot colder).

So Edi, what was your deal? I wanna know. And by the way, Sophie hates you now. Kay thanks bye.

So anyway,  just wanted to let you know my story, and that I got the movie and it’s signed by Edi Gathegi

Pictures will be posted later.

Some songs I fell in love with – Take A Bow, Taking Chances, Sweet Caroline, Defying Gravity, Don’t Stand So Close To Me/Young Girl, Imagine, True Colors, and Smile (Lily Allen).

And then, of course, Don’t Stop Believin’.

Don’t Stop Believin’ has been on an endless loop for me for the past three days or so. A group of my friends and I are going to audition for the music showcase my school is having, and we’re singing that song. So, since Jessica has a MUCH higher voice than me, I had the challenge… figuring out the harmony part. So I’ve pretty much got it down, but I’m still a little rusty on some parts. I even dug my keyboard out of my toxic waste area closet to help me. (And I’m listening to it right now, go figure.)

Enough about me, there’s other people in the world. Like… Chris Mann.

An update on getting Chris on The Ellen Show:

You can read a much better post with links that work here, at my mom’s blog.

An you can tweet these exact words: @TheEllenShow #MANNfans want @IamChrisMann on Ellen http://bit.ly/bgsuNG #GetOnEllen (pls RT!!!)

Ok. Next order of business… (This is a short one)

Sophie has been asking me to do this for weeks so…

Lemons.

There, are you happy? Thought so.

Okay, I guess that’s all for now.

~Emilee

P.S. – My space bar still doesn’t work so bear with my mistakes.

Just Some Random Bits. Nothing Much.

Well, now, it’s been a while, no? About two weeks I guess. I got sick of not blogging so… I came here. The perfect place, right? So there are a few little things I’d like to say. This isn’t just a “Hey!” then back to no blogging.

So, first off, my space bar is broken. There was something stuck under it, so I took it off and then when my mom finally got it back on, it was harder to press down. Sometimes there isn’t even a space. So if you see some words running together, that’s most likely the reason. Another reason could be laziness.

Next: The next Bran Hambric book will be titled Bran Hambric: The Specter Key. I stayed up till one thirty A.M. last Saturday night so I could find out Here’s what Kaleb posted on his blog as the short summary:

“In BRAN HAMBRIC: THE SPECTER KEY, while sorting through the same vault where he was found as a child, young mage-in-secret Bran Hambric discovers an old deposit box left in his deceased mother’s name. Unable to open its enchanted lock, Bran is suddenly haunted by strange messages from invisible spirits who call themselves the Specters. Bran discovers that the Specters have been enslaved by magic, and that there are those who will stop at nothing to take control of their dark powers.”

(copy and pasted from www.kalebnation.com – but don’t worry Kaleb, I have no intention of stealing your ideas )

Also, you can go to TeenFire.ning.com and vote for the cover of Bran Hambric: The Specter Key! Exciting right? Not unless you have an account on the site. I was mad when I saw that you had to log into leave a comment for you vote. But you can stillseethem, which is just as exciting My favorite is the third one, if that counts for anything. Which it doesn’t… unless you have an account on Teen Fire.

For any more information and lasted news on Bran Hambric, follow Kaleb Nation (@KalebNation) or Bran Hambric (@BranHambric) on Twitter, or go to branhambric.com.

Okay, next we have… The Vampire Diaries. Yes, I chose that at random, hence the dot dot dot… Anyway, Season Two of The Vampire Diaries is on Thursday at 8/7 central on The CW, so… Watch it, set your Tivos… Whatever.

Now lets talk about The Golden Globes. Ha ha. I finally have a subject that’s important to more than just me

Anna Kendrick (Jessica Stanley in The Twilight Saga) was up for best actress in a motion picture, but couldn’tlive up to Mo’Nique, who took the award.
Up won for best animated feature film,which was very well-deserved
The Up In The Air writers won for best screenplay in a motion picture.
James Cameron won for best director for the film Avatar. One of the most epic movies of all time.He said it took over four years to plan out and film… That is a long time, no?  Beat the director of Up In The Air.
Best television series, comedy or musical, went to Glee, which I was happy about Glee is my new obsession.
Avatar won for best motion picture,drama, again beating Up In The Air.

Those weren’t all the winners, just the highlights… to me. I turn something that isn’t supposed to be about me into something that is. I’m so selfish.

Zomigosh. I almost forgot! *le gasp*

One of my mom’s dear friends, Chris Mann, is a singer. And he has a dream – He wants to be on the Ellen Show. So we’re trying to help him out! Do whatever you can to make the happen – tweet it, blog it, facebook it, myspace it, youtube it… Whatever you can do to help a Mann out.

Chris’s Twitter – twitter.com/iamchrismann
Chris’s Blog – chrismannmusic.wordpress.com
Chris’s Facebook fan page – facebook.com/chrismannmusic
Chris’s MySpace page – myspace.com/chrismannmusic
Chris’s YouTube – youtube.com/chrismannmusic

Well that’s pretty much all fornow, comment But only if you want to,cause I can’t force anyone to do anything… sadly.

**UPDATE** The Bran HAmbric cover has been chosen! And it’s the one I like! I’m so happy right now

Here it is:

It’s just an early sketch, so when the book comes out,it will definitely be in color.

One last thing – none of the links in this post work. And I’m wayy too lazy to fixthat. So just type them in your address bar or whatever.

^ That was on the back cover and I felt it was important.

Owl City ~ Ocean Eyes

For Christmas, I also got Owl City’s Ocean Eyes.

Before I get to the CD, here’s a little back story:

Owl City is the one-man band. That man is Adam Young. He does most of the vocals and instruments on the tracks. Of course, like so many other things, the reason I know about Owl City is short and sweet (no pun intended ) : Sophie. We were talking one day when she told me to listen to three songs (Rainbow Veins, Fuzzy Blue Lights, and On The Wing – don’t ask me how I remember.) and tell her which one I liked the best (it was for a video or something).  So I did, and I was like, “Oh my gosh, this is good.” So that’s my little story

Anyway, here are the songs:

1. Cave In
2. The Bird And The Worm
3. Hello Seattle
4. Umbrella Beach
5. The Saltwater Room
6. Dental Care
7. Meteor Shower
8. On the Wing
9. Fireflies
10. The Tip Of The Iceberg
11. Vanilla Twilight
12. Tidal Wave

I don’t have the actual album, I just have the CD. If I had the album, my favorite song would be on there…

As for the CD, I don’t have a favorite song on it. I can’t pick. My clear favorite song is If My Heart Was A House

The Hunger Games ~ Suzanne Collins

In the past two days, I literally devoured my latest finding in the book category, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It’s amazing, and I count it as one of the best books ever written (but don’t I say that about every book I read? Well, this is different. I’m serious this time).

Here’s a summary:

After the floods and fires of the apocalypse end, the remains of North America are now known as Panem – a country divided into twelve separate districts. Each year, they hold the annual Hunger Games – a fight to the death, all aired live throughout Panem. Two tributes – one boy and one girl – between the ages of twelve and eighteen are drawn from each district to compete. The last tribute alive wins.
When Katniss Everdeen’s younger sister Prim is drawn as a tribute for the seventy-fourth Hunger Games, she volunteers to take her place. Survival is a sixth sense for Katniss, but the Games aren’t exactly the same as hunting in the forbidden forest behind her home in District 12 – in fact, they’re entirely different. Not only is she the hunter, but she’s also the hunted.
Katniss must fight for not only her own life, but for the lives of others, and at the same time keep promises, and learn who to trust. Because in a game of survival, you can trust no one.
Let the Games begin.

The Hunger Games is the first book in a trilogy, with Catching Fire as the second book, and the third book coming out in August, 2010. It is also being made into a movie, and all I know about that is it’s being made by Lionsgate and coming out sometime in 2010.

I super recommend this book, as I do every book, and think you should stop reading this and go check it out at your nearest library. No, scratch the last part, you should buy it, because this is a book worth rereading. Then, when you finish it, come back and tell me what you think, and thank me for sending you on that trip to the bookstore 

Props to Sophie, as usual. She sent me on that trip to the bookstore after the library had the book on hold And, she helped me get unstuck when i got stuck in the middle of my summary, and though I didn’t use the summary she came up with (that mostly focused on Peeta’s awesomeness ), she still helped. Thanks buddy

Paramore ~ Riot!

For Christmas, I got the second Paramore album – Riot!. The tracks are:

1. For A Pessimist I’m Pretty Optimistic
2. That’s What You Get
3. Hallelujah
4. Misery Business
5. When It Rains
6. Let The Flames Begin
7. Miracle
8. Crushcrushcrush
9. We Are Broken
10. Fences
11. Born For This

My favorite song on the CD is either That’s What You Get or We Are Broken, I can’t decide
