I posted once about how I came across a duet of In A Little While done by U2 and The Killers. That was pretty cool. Almost as cool as the song being covered by Hanson. I know what you’re thinking: “Hold on a minute Emily, what are you getting at?” or maybe “You still like Hanson? Loser!” Regardless, it exists. And I found it. I’m still catching my breath…

I began my day like any other. I was in the library working on my AP final paper (and by working, I mean aimlessly browsing the web and playing Icy Tower). Somehow, I came across somebody’s blog, and read a post about the best duets of all time. In this post, they mentioned that Brandon Flowers of The Killers sang “In A Little While” with Bono and U2 way back in 2005.
Did I ever mention that this is one of my favorite songs of all time? Well now you know. This is the song that I’m going to dance with my dad to at my wedding. It is that good.
Watch it. Twice.

I got a drink from the Barnes and Noble cafe in Saratoga, NY yesterday, and it was called D’Peach Mode. A clever play on words, the juice was FANTASTIC. Its definitely my new favorite. The labels all have random, sometimes funny pictures submitted to the company by fans of the beverage, and underneath the cap was a quirky little picture of a kitty cat. On the label, there was a link for a website run by the company that featured new and upcoming music. I checked out the site today, and it’s definitely a great source for great music. Its got a search engine to find local bands from your area, and visitors to the site can create their own playlists of the featured music. Check it out here.
And best of all, the Duffmeister has not blocked it, so it’s available to listen to at school. Needless to say, I’ve found my new favorite activity to waste away my last 9 days here at Hopkins…
