Wheee I got Pretty. Odd. today! I totally didn't expect it to come until, like, Thursday, because Amazon claimed it wouldn't be delivered until Wednesday and the school post office is so. slow. that I figured it would take a full other day to actually get it to me. But I checked my box after class and it was there! And, ok, I've been listening to the leak pretty much non-stop since last Tuesday (I did stop to fall in love with The Hush Sound, though. I now have all three of their albums), but it's still exciting to have the actual CD in my hand. And I can listen to the songs on shuffle with other songs in between! And listen to individual songs on repeat! This might not seem like a big deal, but there are some songs that I just wanted to listen to on repeat for like an hour (mostly Folkin' Around. I think that's my favorite on the CD, partially just because it's just so short and every time I listen to it I feel like there needs to be more. If that makes any sense. And also partially just because it's awesome), and I got tired of listening to all the songs in the same order over and over. And now my Honda Civic Tour playlist is complete! (Well, I only have one Phantom Planet song. But whatever.)

As I mentioned above, I now have all three The Hush Sound albums and I am totally loving them. I think Goodbye Blues is the best, then Like Vines, and then So Sudden, but I still love them all. And ha, I had such a stupid moment when I was listening to Like Vines for the first time. Don't Wake Me Up came on and at the end I was like "Huh. Bob sounds kind of like Patrick here." And then I went through the album a second time and it came up and I was like "HOLY SHIT THAT IS PATRICK." And I TOTALLY KNEW BEFOREHAND that he produced that CD AND I heard that he sang on one of the songs. AND I EVEN THOUGHT "WOW THIS VOICE SOUNDS LIKE PATRICK'S ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?" and it TOTALLY didn't connect. A similar thing happened when listening to The Cab's new song last night. I recognized Patrick's voice right off the bat (and flailed accordingly), but it took me a second time to recognize Brendon's. And this was after listening to the leak of Pretty. Odd. all afternoon and hearing his part and thinking "This voice sounds REALLY FAMILIAR and totally isn't from The Cab BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO." ugh. I fail.

Anyways. Non-bandom related things now! Well, just one thing.
lkjsd totally the best episode in weeks. I mean, I liked last week's episode more than the previous weeks', but this episode was definitely more awesome. I love it solely because it totally explains what the hell Ianto's job is, or why he doesn't really have a specific job. I mean, he was basically the butler/receptionist at the beginning of the first season and I can't remember if he became more involved with the team at the end of last season after he and Jack started sleeping together or the beginning of this season after Jack disappeared for however long, but it was always kind of like "YAY IANTO'S WORKING WITH ALL OF THEM! ...why is Ianto working with all of them?" But it's because he never really had a job in the first place, Jack wasn't actually looking for someone to join the team, it was just because Ianto begged and kicked ass and all that and so he just kind of found a place. And I love that they were totally attracted to each other at the beginning.

I don't really have anything to say about the rest of the episode. I fail at thinking about anything that's not Jack/Ianto-related. But the next episode looks like it could be either really awesome or really terrible. Hopefully it'll be awesome, obviously.


By the way, I totally am still planning on posting the photos from the photo meme, even though it may appear that I totally forgot about it. I was going to do it during break, but I kept telling myself that I had time left during break and that I didn't need to do it yet and... then break was over. But I will do it! Soon! Just... not now. And probably not tomorrow or Thursday. But definitely by Friday! Probably.

Ugh, I know. I love that CD SO MUCH. The Hush Sound is awesome. Why didn't I start listening to them sooner?

Apparently I just suck, then. I don't know, I remember listening to 30 second clips of the first CD, So Sudden, on iTunes last summer when I first heard about them and thinking they were all right. I don't know why I didn't listen to Like Vines too, since it was obviously out. And now I do like So Sudden, but Like Vines and Goodbye Blues are definitely better. Ah I love this band. I'm so excited to see them live.
