I think all of you need to hear this.

First time I listened to this, I couldn't stop smiling.

I'm sure you've seen this already...

but OMFG. This guy totally blows my mind. The fact that he's a guy but can sing a girl's part better than 99% of the girls I know is just amazing. Daaaaaaaaaamn:

Girls and Boys

Since last month was Women's History Month, I was going to do some women in music theme post if I didn't have any other ideas. But it's April already anyway, so how about some gender equity instead?

I wasn't sure whether I wanted to post the original or a cover here. This video helpfully makes that a non-issue: the Beatles' original starts playing right after the end of the version from Across the Universe.

I also wanted to post "Boyz" by M.I.A. here, but none of the uploads I found were embeddable... which is just as well, since the video is awesome but bordering on seizure-inducing. Here's a link to it on Youtube if you're curious.

And with that, I'll get back to all the work I've been putting off while writing this post.

Why are finals approaching so quickly.
