Comments: Happy Thursday! Two more days until the weekend! What are you doing this weekend? I have no idea what I’m doing, so I suspect I’ll just be… spontaneous. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist the set-up. Anywho, “Spontaneous Me” is a lovely track — a bright, vibrant, cheerful violin full of vintage Lindsey Stirling spirit layered on top of some bass that makes me headphones pulse in just the right way to get me moving. Lindsey Stirling is simply amazing. While this song is not nearly as well known has her infamous ‘dubstep violin’ hits “Elements” and “Crystallize,” “Spontaneous Me” is Lindsey Stirling doing what she loves to do — rock us.

Remember: On Monday we’ll be back at stuckinmyskull.blogspot.com!

Comments: Because who doesn’t love dancing zombies? Lindsey Stirling released this very Halloween-themed song last week, and I decided to use it today. Musically, it’s interesting to see Lindsey utilizing electronic and techno elements without going all the way to dubstep. And let’s face it. Dancing zombies. What more could you want? Happy Halloween!

Entry 301– “Elements” and Announcement!

Comments: Sorry about the lateness of this post, folks! But today, Stuck In My Skull has a major announcement! As of Monday, October 8th, Stuck In My Skull will be moving to WordPress! Our website will be the same, the only thing that is changing is blogger is becoming wordpress, so you can find us at stuckinmyskull.wordpress.com. In addition, Miriah and Amanda will be starting their own columns that week, to bring you even more variety! All this week, WordPress will be running in synch with Blogger. What this means for you is that you can read the post of the day on either Blogger or WordPress. WordPress is running in ‘beta,’ though, so there may be a few bugs. If you see anything weird on the WordPress site, please please please let us know! Facebook us, email us, leave a comment on either site, and we’ll get it taken care of. Also, we are pleased to announce we reached and exceeded 6000 hits over the weekend!

Anyway, the song. This is the second time that Lindsey Stirling has produced a violin/dubstep track, and like the original offering, Ms. Stirling did a fantastic job on this song. She emphasizes the dubstep part of the track a titch more than in “Crystallize,” but I’m okay with that, as I think it sounds fantastic. As is usual for her, she put together a stunning video to accompany the song. All in all, I think Lindsey Stirling is an amazing artist, and I look forward to hearing more of her work.

Entry 262– "Phantom of the Opera" and Site Update!

Comments: I originally ran into Lindsey Stirling when I was slumming around for material for Tour of Techno Week, if I recall– her “dubstep violin” came up on my radar, and very nearly made it into the slot for dubstep. Lindsey Stirling is a freakishly talented violinist and a talented dancer. She has an energy that radiates through the screen to the audience, and infects them with her vibrant spirit. Having heard many a cover of Phantom of the Opera, I can say that not only is this one of— if not the— best, but it’s a fantastic medley. This song is very much worth a listen, and the video is a captivating watch. Check it out! (click to read more)
