Sunday Night Selections

Nothing musically really spoke to me this week, so I reached into the SnS Vault and pulled out two of my personal favorites.

Rock
The Killers - "Smile Like You Mean It"
This songs brings back semi-bad memories of sitting down in a dark room, worrying about everything, and being highly upset that my days were reduced to working in a meat plant for 13 hours a day -- all while downing four to five beers. Then somewhere along the line it became a song of motivation. I remember listening to this song when I decided I was going to pull myself up by the bootstraps and move on to something else. Anything else. Long story short, I'm a lot happier now and I'm back to smiling. Smiling like I mean it. Funny thing is, the actual lyrics have nothing to do with any of that.

DeVotchKa - "Til The End Of Time"
Following quickly in my footsteps on my post about indie movies, a friend and I sat down on my couch a few hours ago and watched "Little Miss Sunshine." The funny thing is we debated on going to the theater to see this movie a year ago, but she didn't think it was going to be good. *shrugs* Maybe it was best that we watched it on the couch as it's a movie that works much better as a evening time waster opposed to one you have to experience in the theaters (like say, "300" or "Transformers"). Anywhoo, this isn't a review of "Little Miss Sunshine," that may come later. What this is, is a quick write up of the what I guess would be called the "theme song" of the movie...and since I've already taken up enough space jibbering on, I'll just let you guys listen to it instead.
TOPolk Trivia: I'm not sure why, but whenever I read PostSecret, I always have this song playing in the background.
