Winter Reds

I would like to be in love. But maybe it's not a good idea. Maybe just in lust. That seems to hold less potential for heartbreak.

Until then, I've compiled songs into a playlist to win over a pretend boyfriend. That's okay if you don't understand what that means - we can talk later.

Oh hi there!!

WELLL! Exams. That's all I have to say.

In the mean time, let's talk music.

I'm enjoying this track alot, Local Natives - Airplanes (this is a link to their myspace). I listened to the whole album - it's decent. They've got an Animal Collective feel to them, mixed with the airy-ness of Neon Indian, but more pop-sounding. This song, however, blows the entire album out of the water, and I was a bit disappointed in their whole album based on my expectations from this song. It's worth checking out, though.

While checking out some reviews about Local Natives, I stumbled upon Nurses. Totally up my alley of magical, lovely, weird-sounding experimental synthy-folk music. WOW - that's a genre, for ya'. Anyways, check out their track, Caterpillar Playground. I'll let you know what I think of their album, which was apparently recorded in the attic that this threesome live in together! I WANT TO LIVE IN AN ATTIC!

KAY time to watch some movies - Control, 24 hour party people, or the story of the Ramones? Think I've got a theme in mind???

Landing of my Jacket

So I did include Thao Nguyen in my last post, but only one song. I failed to mention how incredible their album "We Brave Bee Stings and All" truly is. I suggest listening to the full album, and I guarantee, no matter what mood you are in, you will feel good (or better) after listening.

If funds are tight, and album purchasing is not an option, check out their myspace.

Now get out and go dance. Or at least bob your head.
