Ha, I spend way too much time in front of the computer...I didn't go outside last week for 5 days....I'm probably vitamin D deficient. Whatever. So I've spent I don't even know how many hours on Youtube...I swear there is opium or something on that website - it's so addictive. Through my many hours cavorting about Youtube, I found many interesting things. You know, interesting thing like Julian Casablancas and Matthew Bellamy playing ping pong, a Metric cover of The Strokes song "The End Has No End", and an Adele cover that makes me want to punch a wall because I really don't like it. (Her voice bugs me for some "reasons unknown"...) I also found a cover that The Strokes made of the Ramones song "Life is a Gas" that I think is amazing. The Strokes have a future in punk - not that they need it. I've included the links in case you're interested in any of these things I found through hours of searching and watching.
Matthew Bellamy and Julian Casablancas playing ping pong (haha...it's sort of funny they are so bored)

"The End Has No End" - The Strokes (Apparently Julian has had those sunglasses he wears ALL THE TIME now since 2003 when this video was made....And yes that is Eva Mendes and Mila Kunis in it....Weird connection - Mila Kunis dated Sebastian Stan who was in arguably the BEST TV series ever (the other being The Office) called Kings. Look it up. Watch it. It was also on NBC which is mostly crap now besides The Office. Anyways, it's super addictive and I spent most of the end of middle school drooling over it instead of doing my homework. There is also an awesome song that the main character plays on the show.(The Sick Doll by Tchaikovsky that I once made a cover of... really depressing and easy piano piece - I spent an entire day scouting Kings fan forums until I found it and it turned out it was in my piano book the whole time...fail) I love Kings so much it should be outlawed. It got canceled after one season, but you MUST watch it. I think you can still find it on NBC actually...)

"The End Has No End" - Metric Cover (I think it's okay, not like the Adele cover...actually this cover is pretty good)

Kings Website - if you care. Once you start you can't stop though...just giving you a fair warning.
http://www.nbc.com/Kings/ (apparently it isn't even on the NBC recent favorites menu anymore, but I still remember the website, so enjoy! It has the entire first season on it)
I've been ranting alot lately...sorry. Anyways, if you didn't know, the title is a lyric from "The End Has No End" by The Strokes and where I put "Reasons Unknown" in quotations, I'm referring to The Killers song... Yes, I'm a huge dork. Sorry about that too.
