Kurt Cobain - 2.20.67 – 4.5.94

Nirvana - Negative Creep - Live



Nirvana - About A Girl (MTV Unplugged)




We've been listening to a little Nirvana here lately. Today, I saw on some friends facebook page it was Kurt's birthday. I decided to post a couple videos. It's hard to pick just one cause I have so many favorites. He died too young. Love you Kurt, your music lives on.

Rihanna "LOUD"


I love this CD. It's awesome! My favorites are in BOLD. She only has three videos so far. S&M is a little wild. I like that song but it isn't one of my favorites (at the moment). I've been listening to the CD nonstop in my car & while on-line. Well, on-line when Aaron isn't listening to something like right now he's listening to De La Sol.
1. S&M

2. What's My Name Feat. Drake

3. Cheers (Drink To That)
4. Fading
5. Only Girl (In The World)

6. California King Bed
7. Man Down
8. Raining Men Feat. Nicki Minaj
9. Complicated
10. Skin
11. Love The Way You Lie Part II Feat. Eminem

"The Girl Who Played With Fire" by: Stieg Larsson

PLOT: Crusading publisher Mikael Blomkvist has decided to run an explosive expose of a wide-ranging sex trafficking operation. Just before the piece is published, two people are brutally murdered. The fingerprints on the murder weapon belong to his friend, the troubled hacker genius Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist, convinced of Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation. Meanwhile, Lisbeth herself is drawn into a murderous game of cat and mouse, and is forced to face her dark past.

OPINION: I loved everything about this book. I was glued to the pages from the start. I didn’t know what to expect and I was surprised as I read. I love Lizbeth Salander! She is a bad ass chick. I can’t wait for the movies. It’s going to be awesome.
