Blue Eyes - Destroyer

I'm sorry I'm just going to update ya'll so you know that I am not yet dead.
Here's a picture of vintage Amy Poehler (A.K.A. my spirit animal) for my lovely readers to enjoy:

And although I am currently listening to Destroyer, I've discovered a band from the deep depths of the internet that I literally cannot stop listening to. Check them out on their bandcamp: Vatican Dress.

And here's some Ron Swanson Ben & Jerry's.

Okay I'm done.

Homes - Orca Orca

Well isn't this a surprise - two posts in one week! Today's a Sunday so I spent the majority of my free time watching season what remains of Parks and Recreation. Today, I also watched the Stanford Prison Experiment documentary (the whole thing's on Youtube). This may seem oh-so-wrong in so many ways, but afterwards I ended up making a playlist about dancing. I'm not sure why, but the documentary kind of made me awfully calm. 

So here it is, my morally incorrect and inappropriately crafted playlist about dancing: 

DANCEDANCEDANCEDANCE
The Future - Teen Daze
Holdin' On - Flume
Hot River - Yes Nice
Sirens (Slow Magic Remix) - Satellite Stories
Gasoline - Alpine
Brooklyn Sunburn - Teen Daze
Sunny - Marvin Gaye
Trip (Teen Daze Remix) - Vacationer
Don't Save Me - Haim
Bombay - El Guincho
Coral (Teen Daze Remix) - GRMLN




Just to make things clear, the picture is a screenshot from the movie Party Girl (1995). Here's a clip to my favorite voguing sequences EVER.

Front Porch - Gloss

Truth is, winter is not my favorite season. Some people persist to believe that winter is the most cherish-able season of the year - oh, but it's not. Also, another thing in which I have been avoiding saying lately: I got nothin'. I'm starting to second guess myself (time wise), and whether or not I should be awarded The Worst Blogger Ever. Despite my serious problem, I can still say this: music's still good, tea's still good, everything's still good. Here's a playlist dedicated to all of you who need something to listen to so that you'll know that everything's still good and well. 

Go On
This Is How We Walk On The Moon - Arthur Russell
Face It - Beach Fossils
Find My Name in the Sun - And the Giraffe
Twin Cabins - Laika
Westside - Bye Bye Bicycle
Green Jacket - Deerhunter
Opus Orange - Nothing But Time
One of Us Cannot Be Wrong - Leonard Cohen



Enjoy!
Sorry it's so short.

Scaly Eyes - Balue

Okay, I have to be honest here. I've been putting off writing a new post for a while, and my only excuse has remained the same. "You don't have enough new music". That statement has proved to be untrue. Within the past few months of rebuilding my iTunes library, I have discovered a preponderance of new bands and songs by bands and artists I already know. 

I can't spell, apparently. 

So to the point. First, there's Balue, whom I'm listening to now. Paradoxical Intention, which is also the title of their newest album, is a great song with backings of what sounds like Robin Williams. Not to mention all the other amazing songs on their 14-song album (wow!). After listening to their entire album, I wouldn't quite put them in the lo-fi category just yet. There's a certain psychedelic feel to their songs with the oh-so-perfect vocals of the lead singer, who I believe is the only member in this band! This reminds me of early Beach Fossils, with Dustin Payseur playing all the instruments needed for his album as well as providing great vocals for the tracks. 

Despite the bleak-ish, mellow, weather I have made a playlist of songs everyone needs to sit in your bed with a good book, tea, and relax. Perfect for a chilly Sunday afternoon. 

Chill As Fuck

Enjoy!

Sunlight - Yuno

I've been away for way too long and there's not even that much to say. Just checking in so everyone knows I'm still very much alive and well. And to also say that I've lost my entire iTunes library and have been trying to rebuild my empire step by step.

Even so, expect great playlists in the next month or so as I continue to expand my library. I must say, losing all your music isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I imagined it somewhat like losing your baby, but I obviously don't know what that's like. But as of now, I feel like Principal Skinner's yelling at me in his nasally voice saying something like this:


And despite Hurricane Sandy's departure from our town (thanks, Sandy), looking out the window makes me think of this amazing remix along with the sound of gushing wind and rustling leaves. 


Nevertheless the hurricane and the cancellation of school, I still have a shittonne of things to do today. That includes drinking more tea and checking out the sun outside. All is well, ciao.
