0 Favorite Music, TV Shows, and Movies This Spring

Here are my favorite things from spring 2012!

Musicians

Jack White released Blunderbuss on April 23rd. I pre-ordered this album way earlier this year and I was so psyched to finally hear it when it came out! I have to say I have listened to this album so many times since I got it and I cant stop! Love this album love Jack White!

Paloma Faith released Picking Up the Pieces single from her new album Fall to Grace which is set to release June 12th in the U.S. I am a huge fan of her first album and I'm loving this single and I cant wait for the album to come out!

 

The Hives have been a long time favorite of mine so I was of course very excited when Lex Hives(their first full length album since 2007!) was released and many of the songs have joined my Summer 2012 playlist!

Regina Spektor released What We Saw From The Cheap Seats. I have really liked Regina Spektor's work but I have to say that this album is my new favorite of her's. I really enjoyed it, Small Town Moon and Don't Leave Me are in my top two favorite right now from this amazing album!

TV Shows

Parks and Recreation proved to be very easy to watch and entertaining this spring. It was put on a temporary hold earlier this year but to everyone's delight it returned to finish out the season with bang!

Grandma's House series two aired on BBC2 this spring and I am hoping and praying for a season three(I really love this show!). It felt much gloomier this series since Grandpa passed away and Simon's life seems to be getting worse as time goes on. But the show continued to bring humor and wit to the depressing themes it revolves around. 

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy is another show that aired this spring that I watched and really enjoyed it. So I'm a pretty big Noel Fielding fan and I have to say it took me time to get into this show. The first episode I loved! It is bizarre and completely kooky in every way. Maybe it's the American in me but it just took me time to adjust to the entire idea that this was a real show that actually aired on a TV channel! I love the fact that I feel I could watch this show on mute and still enjoy it because of the costumes, art, makeup, and sets. I'm a fan and if there is a series two I will definitely be watching!

Movies

I'm not really fan of Danielle Radcliff(and I remain that way)but I went anyway to see this apparent "horror" movie. I have say I was unexpectedly pleased I wouldn't call it so much a horror film but rather a thriller. The story was simple and easy to figure out but the acting was well done and the scenery was wonderful!  

Yes I am on the Avengers bandwagon! I love this movie and the super hero movies that led up to this!
