Blink Kitty Love

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

And yes, it's an old joke, but we're not marrying them.  We are however, finding ourselves in conversations about them.  So, it's time to "Guess or Sneak" our favorite animal songs.

TY

"Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right"

Guess or sneak.

Tinker

"Well my heart knows me better than I know myself

So I'm gonna let it do all the talking."

Guess or sneak.

Tammy

"That's all it took to see

I was wastin' time"

Guess or sneak.

TK

"Damn blast, look at my past,
ripping up my feet over broken glass."

Guess or sneak.

SUPERVILLE

Our favorite + darkly amusing Superman related song.  Here's hoping Smallville (Season 9 premiere tomorrow) brings back the fun + the really great music.  With The Middleman gone, we need a show w/ good, edgy music -- if you know one, give it a shout out in the comments or hit us with it @blinkkittylove.

And of course, you want to know which of the Man of Steel's powers the band would want (no one could pick the same power + Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock was used to pick the order -- Ty won).  So we took a poll.

Tinker:  Heat Vision (graffiti in a new form)

Ty:  Flying

Tammy:  Super hearing

TK:  nigh invulnerability (no, wait that's The Tick -- figures)

What would you pick?

GONE COUNTRY

There are a few tweeters arguing that Taylor Swift doesn't count as a country singer...we refuse to get involved in that debate.  Hey, she works hard, people like her, we are opposed to genre locking so get over it.  VMAs are public opinion anyway, so claiming someone doesn't deserve one is dissing democracy and we're VERY against dissing democracy -- even when democracy makes a bad decision.  

And because TK lost a bet in college + had to memorize John Anderson + Hank Williams, Jr. songs, we are familiar with John Anderson's work -- which count as real country because most mention dogs, cars, drink, women, and/or prayer. 

Can you guess our favorites*:

TK

"Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie,

Her momma was in the kitchen cuttin' chicken up to fry"

Guess or sneak.

Tammy

"Then she won't need the salt or the lime anymore

To shoot that ol' memory down"

Guess or sneak.

Ty

"I guess we're gonna run out of bottom I can't find a bird in the skies
What never should happen is happening now"

Guess or sneak.

Tinker

"In a world of too many words

Sometimes your point is hard to be heard"

Guess or sneak.

*Tammy insists that next time the country mood strikes, we do old school kd lang.  

OUR FAVORITE VMA WINNER

Well, yes, Taylor Swift needs a little love plus "You Belong With Me" is fun + classic (Tammy insists we put that comment in; she's sentimental + pro smart blondes, apparently they need better press + zero jokes so don't even think about it; Tammy's nearly a black belt) --and although we're Beyonce fans (bonus points for being a class act) -- we find Single Ladies repetitive (and it is responsible for us having to watch Joe Jonas dance in a leotard so points off for that).

And a shout out to our favorite nominee non winner Kid Cudi -- we love the way the video mixed in animation ; )

SUMMER MOVIES

Since we seem to have spent the summer setting rehearsals + then finding other things to do -- which leads to the lack of the Blink Kitty Love debut single, we here at Blink Kitty Love Central Headquarters, aka the band office and/or Tammy's entertainment center, decided to take a favorite summer movie poll.  Yet another way to get some insight into the heads of our band members.  No one will admit to seeing Julie or Julia (we do have a suspicion about Ty as he's had an Amy Adams crush since Enchanted -- lost a bet, please don't ask for details) and (500) Days of Summer got mixed reviews from Tammy + TK.  Tammy loved the soundtrack; TK hated the hopeful coda.  And we do mean hated.  There was a rant.  And an attempt to write a screenplay.  And another rant.  

So what are the favorites the band will admit to?

Tinker loved Bandslam -- not only great music but Aly Michalka fronting a cool band for most of the movie.  

Tammy shocked everyone w/ Star Trek...Tinker tried quizzing her about original episodes, but Tammy just ignored it.  She's been a Zachary Quinto fan since So Notorious, when he was so very funny + so very gay. 

Ty voted not for the X-Games 3-D --we all agree Winter X so much better -- but G.I. Joe.  Scarlett left an impression.  And special effects always score -- especially glass roofs in Paris.  

And TK, well, he wouldn't say, but then Tammy hacked his Fandango account -- 3 Harry Potter viewings + there was a  Facebook quiz announcing he was Ginny Weasley.  He claims everyone gets Ginny as a result, but Tinker ended up as Harry, Tammy as Luna and Ty as Draco so TK was forced into a real discussion.  He claims to want quidditch to be a real sport but played with guitars.  We suspect he's a Ron + Hermione fan, but he just pounds his drumsticks on whatever's nearby whenever the subject comes up.

But we all agree on SyFy's new + cool show,  Warehouse 13 (Go Team Claudia, Tinker yells) -- you should be watching it.  It's what we do instead of rehearsing on Tuedays ; )  There's  an all day marathon on 9/22.  TK + Tinker are already splitting the snack list and Ty's on drink patrol (Tammy's entertainment center is the location so she just brings the electricity + the HD screen).  

Crush you later.  While TK is out of the room, reading Harry Potter books.

DREAMS

Well, actually we're trying to get off the topic of nightmares...TK's developed a late night pizza addiction which is leading to wake up calls for the rest of the band about his nightmares -- everything from an accordian playing pizza w/ Bob Dylan hair to swallowing his kazoo right before performing w/ Gomez and turning into a woman who's turned into a parrot (yes, we thought letting him watch the Disney Channel would be safe, we were wrong.)  So this has led to thinking about dreams which has lead to another round of Guess the song the lyrics are from or sneak a listen to it (or watch the video.)  This is what the soundtrack is when we plug in the word dreams.  Guess or sneak.

Tammy

"Quickly I remembered

Fused and saw a face before"

Guess or sneak

Tinker

"Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost"

Guess or sneak

TK

"I've just gotta  make it right, oh

before I make it wrong"

Guess or sneak

TY

"You know the preacher likes the cold

He knows I'm gonna stay"

Guess or sneak.
