Blink Kitty Love

SUMMER BREAK

This year, we didn't score a cabin at the beach.  So Tinker's got her boombox out and is skating the local parks (and boycotting the summer X Games for their lack of competitions with female competitors -- so get on it, ESPN), Tammy is making a surprise appearance in a local production of The Merchant of Venice, Ty's started biking all over the county in an effort to use less petroleum and save some money, and TK, well, TK...well, we're not exactly sure where he's got to or what he's up to.  If you find out, drop us a comment or @ us.  

And since we're refusing to choose sides in the is it a "California Gurls" or "OMG" summer, we'll hit you with some of our other current radio favorites.

Tammy   mood:  dapper

"If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I might tear you apart
Told you from the start, baby from the start."

"Break Your Heart"  Tai Cruz featuring Ludacris)

Ty   mood:  on the road to success

"I’ll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it"

"Billionaire"  Travie McCoy featuring Bruno Mars

Tinker    mood:  mellow

"Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you, and so I went and let you blow my mind"

"Soul Sister"  Train

TK   mood:  rhythmically, exotically non verbal

"Beauty Beats"   Beats Antique

BEATLES MANIACS (AT LEAST FOR A HARD DAY'S NIGHT)

The only band our official mascot and Twitter peep @tuffycat loves more than us is The Beatles.  Can't really knock a guy for that.  So instead we've started a round the table, pass the saspirilla, tweetnip and pretzels conversations about our favorite things Beatle (or post Beatle).  Join in.  We'll let Tuffy start us off: 

 
 

Tammy  mood:  serious (or even silly sometimes) love songs always

Movie choice:  A Hard's Day's Night because it's just a slice of perfect

"I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her"

"And I Love Her"   The Beatles

"I can wait another day, until I call you
You've only got my heart on a string and everything a' flutter
But another lonely night might take forever
We've only got each other to blame, it's all the same to me love"

"No More Lonely Nights"  Paul McCartney

TK  mood:  Team Drum

Movie:  Help.  Because, and we quote, "These things happen."

"I'd ask my friends to come and see 
An octopus' garden with me 
I'd like to be under the sea 
In an octopus' garden in the shade." 

"Octopus's Garden"  The Beatles

"Gotta pay your dues
If you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout
Or leap about
You can even play them easy."

"It Don't Come Easy"  Ringo Starr

Tinker:  mood:  smiling

Movie:  Life of Brian because it's always good to have friends and fun side projects and laughter

"Somewhere in her smile she knows 
That I don't need no other lover 
Something in her style that shows me" 

"Something"  The Beatles

"Fab! Like this all over, you said to me.
Fab! And you really got a hold on me.
Fab! Long time ago, when we was fab." 

"When We Was Fab"  George Harrison

Ty  mood:  in a different neighborhood and thinking maybe it's all about the performance

Movie choice:  Quadrophenia for its raw energy

"Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can see but you can't hear me
Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can try but you can't get near me"

"The Real Me"   The Who

"When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind"

"Let My Love Open the Door"  Pete Townshend

OUR FESTIVAL MIXTAPE

A mash up of scenes from a day (or three) in the life of Blink Kitty Love:

WAREHOUSE 13

Yes, we love Warehouse 13, we all have a crush on Claudia (well, TK and Tinker want to be her and yes, sorry, we apologize, Tammy is yelling "Pete" over the music, you probably heard her), the Season 2 premiere is tomorrow and there's a make your own agent profile feature on the website so we did.  It's our new summer hobby.  And it doesn't cut into the ukelele fund.  So here we go:  

And yes, Ty actually went to three Russian classes once upon a college.  He's tried more languages than the rest of us combined. And yet is no use in restaurants with French on the menu.  

SCOTT PILGRIM + BLINK KITTY LOVE = COOL

Have you made your Scott Pilgrim avatar yet?  Gotten together a party of friends to see the August 13th premiere?  Watched the international trailer featuring our favorite of the women Scott has dated, Kim Pine?  Do those things.  And tell us we look cool (well, not Ty, we think the sword's a bit much, but hey, the world is full of comic book evil so who knows.  Maybe we all need one.  At least it's not a light saber. And don't get us started on the beard.)

The Ladies

The Guys (We refuse to refer to TK as a gentleman)
