@Saru - No worries, I always love suggesting music! Maybe try: James Vincent McMorrow, William Fitzsimmons, Lydia, Dry The River, Iron & Wine, Kishi Bashi, The Head and the Heart, Angus & Julia Stone ... Umm I'll let you know if I think of anything else. :D

It's been on repeat for like an hour. Avi's voice will be the end of me."
It is the best oh my gosh

Ugh, seriously. Every single person's part just... *rolls around on floor*

It's been far too long. I miss the good old days of Guster.

He's got the occasional stanza or one-liner in several songs, like I Need Your Love or Say Something, but the only other one he has to himself is their rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel. I highly recommend it--that cover is in my top two of their Christmas album.

Stromae - Tous Les Mêmes
I feel a new talent crush developing.

Stromae - Formidable
The music video is cool, but I get so much secondhand embarrassment that I can't watch it all the way through.

*covers head with hands* He's out in the streets yelling and acting drunk and no one knows he's doing a concept music video shoot and even the police ask him what's going on but he doesn't break character. Like, I'd admire his acting skills if I weren't so uncomfortable.

Whoa. I love PTX and their cover of this is FABULOUS, but I like the original better.

I hate to agree, but I do. There are just so many elements to the original song that are hard to capture, even adding Kevin's cello and Lindsey Stirling into the mix.
That said, I still love PTX, and they're the reason I heard anything of Stromae's, so it all works out, right? ;)

Saru, I'm glad. ;D
*edit* Also, I still have to give Scott props for learning the French. Three of my siblings speak fluent French and only noticed a few mistakes. I can hardly say some of the lines with the words right in front of me, they're such a mouthful!

Oh, Gangnam Style. The good ol' days. They really have changed so much it kind of makes me emotional.

Seriously. Didn't they start out making videos on Mitch's iPad?
Stromae - Quand c'est?
THIS GUY'S LYRICS ARE SO FULL OF WORDSMITHING AND PUNS IT MAKES ME MAD.

Can I marry him?
Bless Pentatonix for introducing me to this guy. He's FANTASTIC.

I'm listening to a Markiplier livestream right now. Not really music, but it's the truth.

I'm laughing really hard because this is exactly what happened to me not many hours ago. You're in for a fun ride, my friend.

I think I need an intervention.
Have you seen the music video for that one? It's perfect. I just love Stromae's music videos because they not only make sense with the song but help you understand it better ... Which I feel like should be how most music videos are?
I do, too. I broke down and bought his album today. It all sounds quite good, though there are a few songs I'm not putting on my iPod because of content. He really knows his trade.

Haha, I might end up doing the same. He does know his trade, very well. And also I find him ridiculously attractive, so there's that.
Did you know he started a North American tour this month? I NEED TO FIND OUT IF HE'S GOING TO BE IN MY STATE.

Oh yes, he's extremely good-looking. No arguments there.
WHAT. Frick. I just googled it, and he's going to be in my city... tomorrow... and tickets are sold out, even if I could have afforded them.
Here's to praying he goes on an Australian tour really soon.
