Since this is the second and last weekend of Coachella. I thought I would use this weekend's set list as inspiration! If you didn't already know, Coachella is a huge music festival held in Indio, California. This is the festival to be seen at, and the one that celebrities frequent the most. I desperately wish to be there right now, but let's face it... I am a college student who can not afford to go to California for any reason right now. I will be going to Bonnaroo for the 3rd time this summer with my boyfriend Bo and my dad, so I will for sure be posting about that when the time comes. So anyways, let's take a listen!
1. Help Me Lose My Mind- Disclosure
2.Young Blood- The Naked And Famous
3.Roses- Outkast
4. 400 Lux- Lorde
5. While I'm Alive- STRFKR
Just wanted to do a quick post, I apologize for this not being more in depth haha. I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day, and have a Happy Easter! Now it's time to do some studying for next week's finals...
Saturday, September 7, 2013
I apologize for not being on top of this blog the past two weeks. School and work have been crazy! Since school started I haven't been able to find my groove with balancing everything but I'm almost there! So hang in there with me guys! I will be doing a fashion post either tonight or tomorrow, but for now here are my tunes of the week! I know, I know, it's already Saturday. But still. Here ya go.
1. Royals by Lorde
Lorde is once again on my list because each song I hear of hers makes me fall in love even more. I adore the simple beat of this song and that she uses her strong voice as the focal point of the song. Plus if a song has any kind of choir going on in it, whether it's 20 people or 3, then you've got me hooked. And the video is everything i imagined it to be for this particular song.
2. Diane Young by Vampire Weekend
This song is one the many that I actually discover while I'm on the clock at rue21. Our track lists never seem to let me down. I've always like Vampire Weekend since I got to college and I love their new album "Modern Vampire of the City" that came out on May 14th. This video somewhat resembles the Last Supper, but also features cameos by Sanitgold, Sky Ferreira, and Chromeo's David Macklovitch and Patrick Gemayel just to name a few!
3. I Wanted You To Stay by Summer Heart
This song is so calming and pleasant to listen to. It is also good driving music! I discovered this song on on of my favorite tumblrs and instantly added it to my Spotify playlist. If you want something good to chill out and listen to, this is it!
4. Holy Grail by JAY Z ft. Justin Timberlake
I absolutely love everything that JAY Z puts out (fun fact, he removed the hyphen from his name) and his new album "Magna Carta... Holy Grail" is so tasty! Even though I'm from the south, I prefer northern rappers. This song is just one of many that I really love from the new album and I can't wait to see what his next big hit will be! This video is a little different from how the actual song is on the album, but BRAVO to the way they chopped and screwed it.
5. Breezeblocks by alt-J
My boyfriend Bo got me into alt-J and we were able to catch some of their set at Bonnaroo this year! Their creative mixture of simple beats and the singer's abstract voice makes their music irresistible. This song has to be my favorite from their album "An Awesome Wave". Their music videos are pretty out there but those are always my favorite kinds.
I hope you enjoy these sweet tunes of the week, and stay tuned this upcoming week for lots of new posts! Also check out my tumblr and follow me!
I've been hard at work trying to get my blog set up the way I want, so again, bear with me on the appearance. But in the midst of all the construction, I wanted to share what songs I am hooked on this week. I say this week because it seems like every week I'm onto something else. Music is a huge part of my life (I was a band kid for like, 9 years, so you can't blame me) and this is something I want to start doing every week! SO here we go!
1. I'm God [Lil B] by Clams Casino
The Imogen Heap sample is my favorite part about this sick song!
2. Tennis Court by Lorde
There are so many things I love about this song, this video, this artist, just everything about it. This song is perfect for riding in the car, windows down, loving life.
3. Parix by When Saints Go Machine
I came across this songs while listening to Spotify radio (not sure what artist) and fell in love. I love the style that it is sung in and the way they mixed high and low voices for the chorus!
4. Raindrops on Roses by An-Tea-Nae ft. Alice D
Okay this song is all kinds of trippy and crazy! Which are two things that I love in a good song. Yet this song can also be creepy because of the childlike voice that is rapping the whole time. I must say that my favorite part of this whole song is the constant raindrop sample. I love a good raindrop song!
5. Cool Party by Groundislava
I can't even begin to pinpoint a certain thing I love about this, because the whole thing is flawless. At some points it even reminds me of Shifting Sand Land in Super Mario 64 lol. All in all, this is great chill music.
