The 1975- Settle Down

Did your person also come from France by any chance? My lovely Secret Santa didn't leave their username for me to respond to either, sadly. And its looks like we received similar gifts :D Pics under the spoiler tag Thank you so much Secret Santa! Now come out of hiding so I can thank you properly! <3 ...Also, I hope my person got their card. I sent it almost a month ago now... :(

I got my card today! I didn't have time to open it because I had to get to work, but I did see that it came to me all the way from France. I'll scan some pics either later tonight or tomorrow depending on when I get back to my dorm. :D Thanks Secret Santa!

Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I like this cover.

I love this article. Spot on.

I'm pretty much in love with this one. Pleasantly surprised as I hadn't listened to any of the new stuff besides ETIAW until watching the Glastonbury performance. Good job, boys.

I think my mind will never get used to confetti during imp and the balloons during lost, I'm too stuck in viva tour state of mind.

I like it more now than I did this morning. I'll take it for what it is and not for what I wanted it to be. It'll work well on my workout play list. Hows that for positivity?

Well...Perez liked it...source "Wow. Wow. Wow. Chris and the boys really hit it out of the park! Not just a homerun but a grand slam! After a bit of a break in between albums, their brand new single is such a powerful, instant, undeniable, huge, global hit. It feels sooooo good on the ears! Check out Coldplay's Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (above). We can't stop listening!!!! Coldplay at its best!!!"

If by "Justin Bieber" you're trying to say that the lyrics, as of now, seem extra poppy and bubblegum then I completely agree with you. We'll just have to wait and see if the music together with lyrics can change that feeling. I'm feeling doubtful, but I hope they prove me wrong.

Why, thank you! Isn't he wonderful? I love your avi as well :D *high-five fellow Starkid/Darren Criss fan* In Coldplay land, wouldn't it be so very fun if they didn't release something until 2012? Then we could make a whole new poll. Or just all give up on waiting...watch it be announced tomorrow...

Blagh. I'm so over waiting for something new from them. Seriously, no matter how little time or how long a time before a single/album was released that they announced something new was coming people will still buy it. I don't get why they need to be all secretive, just announce the damn thing already or give some definitive answer that it won't be coming until the fall. Annoyed fan is annoyed. :|

Hi there, I made your mix :) Don't worry about your belatedness, I'm belated with everything I do on here. So is the life of a college student. Anyway, I'm glad you somewhat liked my mix. It was really hard for me to choose things because, per your lastfm, we have pretty similar tastes in bands (Ra Ra Riot and Freelance Whales in particular! Love them and was going to put them on before). Tracklist: 1. Arrival of the birds-The Cinematic Orchestra-The Crimson Wing 2. Next time Around-Little Joy-Little Joy 3. Dress and Tie-Charlene Kaye with Darren Criss 4. Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second-Starfucker-Starfucker 5.Rolling in the deep- John Legend covering Adele 6.Doubt-Delphic- Acolyte 7. Voce Existe Em Mim- Josh Groban- Illuminations 8.Daylight-Matt and Kim-Grand 9. After Hours-We Are Scientists-Brain Thrust Mastery 10. It Doesn't Have to be Beautiful- Slow Club- Yeah, So? 11. Way I am- Night Fevers- Night Fevers 12.Lost in the World- Kanye West ft. Bon Iver- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 13. Blue Sky-The Allman Brothers Band-Eat A Peach 14. Get Happy/Happy Days Days Are Here Again-Glee covering Judy Garland with Barbara Streisand-Glee

Hi mixtape maker! Your tape was friggin perfect for me, you did such an amazing job and obviously have awesome taste in music. Here is my much belated review, I'm sorry it wasn't in sooner. Oh, and I really liked the cover art you chose with the white 'x'. Thanks for making such a good tape! 1. Did you know that I absolutely adore duets? Cause I do. That combined with this sort of sleepy, smooth sounding music is pretty much perfect. Great choice for an opener. 2. Death Cab, right? I've always liked their style and the vocalist has a beautiful tone, but they just have so much music. Where does a girl start in really discovering them? This song specifically is that little bit too long even though their multi-instrumental bridge in the middle is nice it drags. 3. Hello 1980's synthpop revival! Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you. Nice haunting vocals. I feel like I heard this in a car commercial at some point. 4. Another long-ish one. Honestly, as soon as the vocals came in I skipped over this one the first time. His voice is just whinging at me. Blagh. Tonnnniiiggghhtt is speeecciiiaall. 5. Brandon Flowers! This must be from that solo album I couldn't bring myself to listen to, yeah? I love love love his vocal style, truly I do, but without the rest of the killers I just feel like somethings missing and the vocal gets to the point of self-indulgence...what do ya think, should I download the rest of the album? Is it worth it? I do like this track despite my misgivings. 6. Would you believe I didn't notice the length of this one until I hit the replay button? Too busy bouncing along. I really liked the strings in the background throughout. The layered vocal for the chorus was nice too. Kind of dark, kinda epic sounding. Kinda awesome. 7. I Looooove Mumford & Sons! The Cave is such a good song :D Great choice. 8. Good tune. I feel like I've heard the instrumentals before. Chorus is catchy. It's a similar style and sound to a bunch of other bands I really like so I'll definitely be listening to this one again. 9. Hey, I've been hearing this one on the radio for a while now. Good driving music. Would probably fit in well with my workout playlist, the beat is pretty great. Vocal is nice, smooth even with the speed. 10. I like the transition from the last track to this one. Such good instrumentals! Love the bass! but....haaaaate the vocals. If anyone else sang this song I'd probably love it. Have to skip it instead because of his voice. It grates at me. 11. Oh, I like this one. A lot. I love the tinkling piano-like instrument. Just a really pretty song. I can't figure out the singers accent...doesn't matter though, it's still wonderful. 12. Gah, greatly dislike horns. The guys vocal style reminds me of Jason mraz. It's fine. Not really my thing. 13. I feel like doing a disco to this song. The "do-do"s and grunting "huh"s are very 70's. Which is also not necessarily a bad thing. I could see myself dancing around to this one in the near future. They're very different from a lot of the stuff out today. 14. More danceable music! Love it. There is nothing wrong with this track. It'll join number 13 on my dance around the house playlist. 15. Sleepyhead! Passion Pit is awesome. This one is already on that dance playlist. 16. This one fits in nicely after the row of dance tracks. It's like a mixture of all the tracks into one ending song. Dark, smooth, danceable, piano, synth all over the place. Strangely not even close to my favorite, but a good choice to end. Highlights: 1,6,8,9,11,13,14 Thanks again! :D

I'm sorry mixtape maker! I've been extremely busy this week, but I'll try my best to have a review for you tomorrow night :) I've listened to it once through so far and it's really good.
