Today's sorrows.

Ahhh, today was ehh, and before you all go insane, there is no IMM :( even though Indie Music Mondays are the main reason I post at all on mondays, I felt the need to post. oh yeah, and there is no IMM mainly because I did'nt really get the feel of any albums that were worth album of the week. I still will credit Kid Cudi's new album that was released last tuesday,Man On The Moon II:The Legend Of Mr.Rager mainly because I love that man. And to say, It lived up to it's expections; I have memorized about almost every song from the album since the day it came out. I didnt think it should be album of the week yet, but it may get there. still you should check it out.

On another note, there are a couple of things I,m happy about. such as
-I found my TOMS shoe that I lost last week that I was looking every where for (and it sucks because if you lose one, It feels like you'll never find it because they are so small.)
-I get to borrow/possibly have my great grandmother's teal cardigan that my mom found (i'm sorry but I have a heart for vintage stuff, and cardigans, and teal. sue me. :D)
-I discoverd my new Favorite TV show on sundays; Dexter. I <3 that show to the bajillionth power.

and that's about it. everything else is crap. I have a TON of work to do, everthing is a mess and I feel like there never any time to do anything,EVER. so heres to my my short, crappy, blog post, pathetic life,and addiction to procrastionation. I look forward to posting a better blog tomorrow. hopefully. :D

Indie Music Monday: Scissor Sisters - Night Work

Hello fellow hipsters and outcasts, i must apologize for my absence. BUT, I come with great gifts; a new blog almost every day and *In Oprah's voice* INDIE MUSIC MONDAYS! since Volleyball season is over, and I have no social life other than facebook, I'll be blogging alot more often. :DD

So, on another note, laying on my couch, singing the tune of Genius of love by the Tom Tom Club, I realized It was Monday. (duh.) I was waiting for Monday to come so I could post my album of the week. :D(I was building up with anticipation!) Majority of the weekend I was in a nostalgic haze listening to old school rap on Pandora radio, but scrolling down my youtube favorites list, and long behold,"Any Which Way" by the Scissor sisters catches my eye. This video Is freaking amazing if you haven't seen it. I click on it and watch it for mmm, maybe the 20th time, and scroll down to the comments and see what peeps have been saying. reading one comment, it said to check out the song "Fire with Fire", so I figured "hey, why not?" when I listened to this song, It was so amazing!so I sat and listened to the whole album. and I'm happy to present you with this week's album of the week. What is so great about this album is that, it has AMAZING flow. Night Work has songs that are funky,and make you wanna dance, songs that just make you want to sing, and some that makes you want to strut down the street with your head phones blaring. Also, it has this new york party scene theme with neon, lots of neon, and just the musical structure is very great. This album had alot of visuals that are really cool. overall I say this album is 5/5. just freakin amazing. :DDD

The most amazing thing Evar. :D

I love this book. seriously. when I first saw it I knew I had to get it. this coloring book features the essential know-whos of indie rock. Featuring coloring pages of artists Like MGMT, Broken Social Scene, Wolf Parade,etc. this book is amazing. and the most amazing part of it is that all the royalties goes to charities. Yellow bird Project is a Montreal- based group that bands together with Indie musicians to design tees, hoodies and other merchandise that donates the proceeds too all different kinds of charities.not only Is it a great coloring book, the money actually goes somewhere important.

I 'Is' Back!!!

Helllos :D to everyone.:) I'm so sorry I went AWOL/MIA on you guys!!! I have jus been so busy lately with everything and my obsession with Etsy.com, and my vacation planning, and the concerts.Oh, the concerts! has been super awsome going with one of my newly Indie-music obssesed best friends, christopher. :D looking back on how long I was gone, that was very unessesary, and I promise no to do it again. :) but, I promise that I will post more ...posts and regain your trust. :) and so here's a gift, from me, to you





Video I recorded from one of the conecerts I went to. Plus, from one of my favorite Indie bands in Las Vegas, Imagine Dragons.

Sweaty Teenagers. XD

Yup. This Is a video of Me(ughh.), My twin sister,Courtney, and my Bestfriend, Savannah. Last summer, SkyMaina, super sweaty. eww. I remixed it with the songs Walking on a dream, by Empire of the sun, and Flashing lights, by Kanye West. good times. :D

Indie Music Monday: Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream

This week's Indie album of the week; Empire Of The Sun's 'Walking On A Dream'.I first got interested with this album When I saw a video of Empire Of The Sun's first single, 'Walking on a dream'. (Which I used a while ago; In a youtube video I created. I'll put it on here :D) I loved the video, and <3-ed the creativiy of it. A couple of months later, I was scrolling through collection of music on my zune, and saw that I only had the single of 'Walking On A Dream', and me,the kind of person I am, Realized that I had to get the whole album. (yeah, I have kinda a thing about songs and albums; I always have to get the whole album, not just a song or too. Oh yeah, I keep forgeting; I have to get the rest of The Doves and Hercules and love Affair's album[s] ) Once I listened to it, I fell in love with it. It had a very 'other world-ly' element to it, that was maintaned, Through-and-through. It remined me of when I was a child, living in Las Vegas, When I would go to the Mirage, and would see the tigers and stuff, just the over-powering, the wild, dangerous-ness of being around the animals. you get that one-with-nature-and-wild feeling that this album really gives off. The first song of the Album, 'Standing On The Shore' was a great Introduction to the album.(and Also had a great guitar riff :D) Then the song 'Half mast' had a great steady beat, that flowed into a acoustic guitar outro, that flowed into 'We Are The People', also another single from them.(I learned the song on my Bass guitar :D yeah...)The album was filled with a bunch of other awsome songs, 'Swordfish Hotkiss Night', 'Country' and my Tear-jerking favorite, 'Without You'. Aside from the controversy and my thoughts of the band itself, ultimatly, This is a Really good album. :D

Lazy Wednesday.

*Sighs* Well, two days until Christmas, and not in the sprit. I've tried everything, Baking, puttting up some stockings, even watching the grinch and home alone. I don't know what my problem is, but I've just been a Scrooge Lately. After my failed attempts at trying to pursue christmas spirt, I do what I always do when I'm in a rut: Watch youtube videos for hours on end. I've been doing nothing really all day. but I did come across these lovely (lovely, really?)videos.(the first one is one of my new favorite bands, Neon Indian, performing "Terminal Chill", the second is MSTRKRFT, performing a remix of Justice's "D.A.N.C.E")Love IT!! :D
