Nothing big for today, I just wanted to share a lovely little song that has been playing off my laptop constantly and helping me get through my studying. Off of Shlohmo’s EP, Vacation, this song is another quietly gorgeous track to add to his growing collection of gems. Take a listen:
I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve fallen in love with anything that has female vocals, so when I heard this I was suitably amped that my female tune drought had come to an end. This has been on repeat for the last twenty minutes and it’s just not getting any worse. If you knew me in real life I would give you a serious look and tell you to listen to this. Because we’re in the internet world, all I can do is tell you that your life will be better if you do, and that you can send me a nice thank you message if you do enjoy it. “Welcome to the inner workings of my mind…”
By golly, I’ve seen some smouldering looks in my time, but Danish producer Tomas Barfod surely takes the cake with that stare. Why so moody Tomas? I don’t know, must all be part of the image. Anyways, have a listen to Till We Die.
I’m finally off school and feel like celebrating! Here’s a song that get you in a mood to party with me, even though I have to go right back to school tomorrow in order to finish my art coursework. It feels like the work will never stop, and it most probably won’t. It’s probably a good idea to learn that now.
I am so close to school ending that it is teasing me. There are two days left until I am free to, well, work all day every day. Exciting isn’t it, that old life of mine. Anyway, the track that has been driving me through these final days that seem to go on forever is Gary Clark Jr’s Bright Lights. (more…)
I don’t think any human has ever been as tired as I am right now. Of course I don’t champion lazy journalism, but this isn’t lazy journalism. This is exhausted, drained, brainwashed, I-have-an-exam-on-Friday journalism. I love you, but I cannot for the life of me muster the energy to give you much information about this song.
Not often is it that I get to say “I’m good friends with the person in that band.” Sadly, this is not one of those times. The closest I’ve gotten is befriending Born Blonde’s lead singer’s sister, who may herself have a music career in the cards. I know, some families just get all the talent while others make websites talking about how incredible they are. It’s just the way the world works.
Been a little bit since I updated my rap music. I decided to do a little digging, and up popped Nobodies by Lil Kids, a nice track that wouldn’t feel out of place playing while you’re putting an evil undercover plan. That’s why it now holds a place on my most important iTunes playlist of all. My ‘Music for a heist’ playlist (yes, it exists).
I admire Passion Pit because they seemed to storm onto the scene with their own kind of genre. They had synths, drum kits, great vocals, and just a knack for creating a melody that would pester you all day and wouldn’t let you go a minute without humming it. Here’s their latest song from their upcoming album Gossamer.
Everyone should know this song. It will do you no harm to treat yourself to a skyrocketing confidence level when you hear lead singer Matt Scannell tell you that “you’re a god.” I’ll happily put it on and revel in my unprecedented levels of extreme awesome. You should do the same, because if you regularly visit this website, I know you’re awesome.
