Midterms of Death
So, I'm procrastinating studying now by typing this post. I have four midterms in the next three days, all of which will teach me to never procrastinate again. First up, Semiconductor Physics, which I have learned absolutely nothing for because class meets at 9:00 am, what the fat! Next, CS 107 which = super hard coding class. Three hour time slot designated for this midterm, woo hoo! Then tomorrow, my favorite Signal Processes and Linear Systems II class EE 102B, which is super math intensive. I always thought I loved math, but if this class has taught me anything, it's either 1) I suck at math or 2) I need to try harder. Finally, on Friday, it's Circuits II with good ole Differential MOSFETs, Current Mirrors, and the like. Mm yummy.
Attack of the ISACSAC
hahahaha, I love my weirdness. Basically, my super buddies Steve Ko and Natasha Kim bought me a SacSac because I mentioned that I love it randomly. And so, because Andrew didn't put up a picture of SacSac, I decided to put one up with a little more flair than your typical cop this picture off of Google Images. Try not to get too excited.
new music - Coldplay - A Spell A Rebel Yells
Ah yes, good old Coldplay. A new album, a new host of things to rant about. In my opinion, Coldplay's been having a harder time establishing their presence as a band pushing the envelope of good music, especially with their latest releases of albums (X&Y and now Viva la Vida or Death And All His Friends). Violet Hills was supposed to have a new feel for Coldplay's music style, but I felt like it wasn't that big of a departure of what Coldplay has made it's millions off of; the chord progressions felt the same, the same melody rifts, the same beated piano chords, a little falsetto, cut out at the end, solo piano, etc. And I think the same can be said for A Spell A Rebel Yells, with it's U2 like feel. Maybe I haven't really appreciated it, but it just sounds super repetitive to me, lacking any big variety. I mean, it is a B-side, so I guess you can just say it's meant to be like it is, but I don't buy it. Also, in regards to the name of the album, Chris Martin says it's influenced by Frida Kahlo's life of misery and her great work of art, but that's a bit random for me; I hope the album will paint a better picture of how this is a reality for Coldplay as a band instead of the title just being a cool, indie title that will hopefully make people buy it because it's supposed to be deep and mysterious and unknown, etc. Anyways, share your thoughts on the song! I hope you guys might disagree with me, because I'm hoping to be proven wrong about this song / album :)
Anyways, back to studying!

dude where'd you find the song? thanks for the upload!
if it's a B-Side it does explain why it doesn't feel as different as they say their new album is going to be
hopefully all of this talk of "different" isn't a bunch of shennanigans :P
i didnt understand half the words in your MOD section haha. sacsac is good eh? hurry up and listen to beverly kenney. i've been trying to practice bass to moe's blues cuz its pretty standard but fun to play to.
not impressed by the b-side either :-/
but the preview of the actual song "Viva La Vida" on iTunes is giving me more hope :] That IS different from traditional Coldplay

I got too excited :(
