Wassup, Nerdfighters? My name is Hadley a.k.a. Had the Punk Rock Theatregeek; I love Doctor Who and Harry Potter, I’m a Green Day addict, and I look like the chick with the glasses on the cover of An Abundance of Katherines. (Katherine is also my middle name, so that’s a little freaky.) Also, I’m kicking off my blogging stint with one giant-ass music survey. I think I missed a music week a while back, and I cannot pass up a chance to foist my musical tastes upon you all. I’ve added some 'Easter eggs,' if you will, for some of the songs - links…not in the dooblydoo. Because we have no dooblydoo. DFTBA and ETIRT!
p.s. Seeing Spring Awakening on Wednesday… [FREAKING OUT]
EDIT: I forgot to mention my latest favorite song: "In a Moose" by our own Katie Zellner. The lyrics are as follows: "In a MOOOOSE...there's a FERRRRN...that he aaaaaate..." followed by a happy/manic facial expression and accompanied by wild arm movements. The live version is really spectacular.
