Random Day #4
To say the least, I’m in love! Yes yes it’s true. Just Kidding! Being in love is a concept foreign to me! I’m “in love” if you must with Mamma Mia!!!! I saw it on Friday and every minute of it is fun!!!! I almost got up and started dancing, but come on! I’m not that crazzzzy. So anyway. I found a Voxtrot song that I really like. It’s called Missing Pieces. It’s really good, I highly recommend checking it out!
I now have a new favorite movie list because of Mamma Mia!
1. Breakfast at Tiffany’s
2. Mamma Mia!
3. Lars and the Real Girl
4. Stardust
5. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
6. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
7. The Phildelphia Story
8. Rebel Without a Cause
9. Be Kind Rewind
10. Funny Face
Summer is getting to be really boring. I have absoultley nothing to do. Yawn. Bored… ZZZZZ
May I Recommend…
If you catch me at the mall, you’ll see me with my ipod. If you catch me at the store you’ll see me with my ipod. If you catch me at home I have my ipod plugged into the speakers and I’m listening. Well what’s all this gotta to do with you? I ♥ Music. So very much. It’s hard to find good music these days. (Very hard indeed).
So may I recommend some of my recent favorites.
As of late iTunes has been featuring really good free music. (Today it was a miss to me). Those in red were free songs. I also included videos I found on Youtube of all the songs except for Last Day of Our Love because I couldn’t find a good one.
Black and Gold by Sam Sparro
Can’t Find the Words by Karina
Shut Up and Let Me Go by The Ting Tings
Great Dj by The Ting Tings
L.E.S. Artistes by Santogold
Campus by Vampire Weekend ( I love them!)
Because by Madita
Raised by Wolves by Voxtrot
Last Day of Our Love by The Bird and The Bee
(No video for this one sorry. I couldn’t find a good one)
The Call by Regina Spektor (I love that song! It reminds me of my last day at school :.( and all the good times with my friends and of when I saw Narnia with my very best friend *sniffle* )
Make You Feel My Love by Adele
Belanova
If you are not familiar with Latin culture then you probably haven’t heard of Belanova… But let me tell you…. THEY ROCK!!!! 
I heard about them in one of my searches for awesome music on iTunes. It takes soooo long, and sometimes my searches are fruitless. But one particular time I struck gold in the form of Belanova.
Their sound is electro-pop with sweet vocals (thanks to trés adorabl vocalist Denisse Guerrero) and catchy melodies and hot beats. Some of their many hits are Rosa Pastel, Baila Mi Corazon, Cada Que, Tus Ojos, Niño, and Por Ti.
Random Day #2
Today I don’t know what to write about soooo I’ll tell you about my day. Today I woke up in the morning to the sounds of Voxtrot (you can tell this day was good)! Then I hopped into the shower and took a short one but made sure I was in tip top shape(I’m going green!). Got dressed. Made my lunch. Got in the car and drove off to school (Ps I had breakfast, oatmeal and it was yummy). At school saw my fab friends went in then school began and did all this crazy stuff. Nothing really productive or important enough to mention happened. So I lived life and did my thing.
Tommorow is new music Tuesday. (yessss second favorite day of the week). I can’t wait to see the Speed Racer movie.I don’t know why…. I guess its the bright vibrant colors. I don’t know me and colors just seem so perfect togeth. There’s a lot of movies I’m excited to see. I’m especially excited to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It looks cool! And if Shia LaBouef wasn’t reason enough (he’s gourg) I love the old Indiana Jones movies.
I got a pair of neon pink shades. I’ve got soooo many pairs of shades it’s not even funny! My wardrobe was of late has been falling a bit flat, but a trip to the mall cured that. New Shades, a new top, new bag (Harajuku Lovers) , and a new dress have reinvigorated my ‘drobe.
Here’s a video. It’s from The Go! Team… My personal fave: Doing it Right.
Voxtrot
Adorability has found love! (Well musically anyway). My very very favorite band is Voxtrot. How we met: One day I was in a musical rut. Ughhhh. I had just gotten an iTunes gift card from my friend and was looking for some tunes to download. I looked at the iMixes to see if any of my fellow users had good music. And there in one of them was Voxtrot. I heard The Start Of Something. And I was like OMGSH! These guys rock.
The band is from Austin, Texas. It’s memembers are Ramesh Srivastava, , Mitchell Wayne Calvert, Jason Chronis, Jared Van Fleet , and Matt Simon.
Here’s your vid, kid:
Random Day
Hey hey it’s random day! I’ll just talk about whatever. So anyhow… hmmmm what to talk about???? Right now I have this song called Lucky by Lucky Twice, and ughhhh it gets stuck in my head! “I’m so lucky, lucky. I’m so lovely,lovely.” Guess what lovers? I got some extra cash and, I, Adorability being the music fan went straight to iTunes and downloaded some songs. Voxtrot, people I’ve never heard of, and Adele. Today I listened to music all day long… hmmm well what’s to do? Wanna hear a poem? Ok sure. I wrote this one myself. (Don’t copy it without acknowledging who’s it is!)
Little Girl by Adorability
I sit under the umbrella.
I forgot all the troubles.
I skip rope and blow bubbles.
I’m just a little girl.
I want to be a woman never.
I don’t want to grow up.
I want to stay young forever.
I’ll wear my hair in pigtails.
I’ll live life behind the rails.
I’ll keep a smile on my face.
That’s all I need is to be in a good place.
Today I ate a sandwhich for lunch (it’s random remeber?) . Hmmm what else happened? Well yesterday my friends blindfolded me and made me crash into people (thanks friends!). You know what I hate? Anything tacky. How many times have I said that before a million?
In other news I’m hungry and I ate. Gosh I’m a piggy! Have you seen the new trends fort spring? Gladiator sandals are very big. I wonder what the next skinny leg jean will be? I’m soooo sick of them. They are not my fit… Unless they are highwasted, but those are impossible to find. Bright colors are big too. I like to look to M.I.A. for inspiration since she is a Class A Orginal.
New Music Tuesday!
Tuesdays are always the best (cept for Fridays of course). Everything good always seems to happen on Tuesdays. Today on iTunes a song I’ve been dying to download (couldn’t short on cash, kids) was the Free Download of the Week. Today in school we did basically nothing!!! So I made lists with my pals and ya you can betcha the one I love was on every single one . So anyway in the news Madonna (queen of reinvention) released Hard Candy. I’ve been raving for weeks about 4 Minutes. It’s pretty good. It has a fresh sound but is distinctly Madonna. With collaborations with Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland Madonna is definetly spicing up the party. It’s pretty good. Say I ought to be a critic. Yup I should. Well for you loves I am. Santogold released an album as well. Pretty good. She worked with Mark Ronson (geeze louis! one of the most gourgeous djs). Well anyhow back to her album. She is definetly a contemporary of M.I.A. and most definetly a Class A Orginal in a world of pretenders and copy cats. Her album is an experience to the ears. Not saying it’s bad cuz it’s not it just rocks!
Adorability is not all nice. Nope I’m not. I hate to say it but can’t keep this opinion in my mind. Well the new Raven Symone album came out today as well, and can you say voice machine? You are wondering how many layers of cover up are there. Where as she been? She just fell off the planet for a few years. Guess that movie Road Trip or whatev and the new album are part of her comeback. Well let me tell you that album is cheap (not in refernce to money but in reference to tackiness). She copicatted soooo much. Ugh Adorability was disgusted. Her old works are so much better.
In other news, here’s a video:
It’s Voxtrot. Start of Something New. and Anyone Else but You from Juno.
Indie Ear Candy (Music)
Did I mention? I absolutley adore Indie music! When I head onto the Itunes music store I don’t look at what everyone else is buying (ok maybe sometimes but most of that music is trash and ok I’ll admit it that’s how I found 4 Minutes by Madonna which I totally love). But anyhow back on track. I look at Indie artists which I discovered from their Indie spotlight or that they recommended to me on that just for you thing and I go to the section where it says Listeners Also Bought… and sort through that list. The method isn’t usually surefire. A good find is kinda hard in a slew of tacky music (there’s a lot let me tell you), but on the days where I have the mean reds I try and try and every once in awhile I’ll find some music to adore.
I don’t know how I discovered Soko’s Take My Heart (have a story for every song I find, but know I have about 300 downloaded songs so it’s kinda hard to remeber), but it’s survived through many playlists. How? And why wouldn’t it? The answer is simple. I search for music and listen to the music on New Music Tuesdays. I find songs I like and add them to my list of desired songs. I have to wait until I get gift cards. Then I download a bunch of songs and make new playlists for that, and I’ll just listen to that one playlist over and over until the next card comes in. But there are exceptions. Take My Heart has made it through five playlists and has been added to my specific playlists (for specific needs or specific themes).
Let me tell you about some my favorites: Vampire Weekend (heard about them on Teen Vogue… Let me tell you I loved em the second I heard em), Voxtrot (I have no idea how I discovered them… by accident I suppose), Soko (i just love her voice and her accent is soooo cute), Au Revoir Simone (my friend really liked this artist and highly recommended it to me… we recommend music to each other… thanx Christian!), The Brunettes (to be honest I wasn’t a fan at first then I kept listening and I was like hey pretty darn good!), Glass Candy ( I was never really a fan of techno until recently and her sound is definetly 80s inspired but at the same time futuristic), Anya Marina (her songs are really nice. Her song Miss Halfway is perfect for those icky days when you are like ughhhhh I feel ugly today), and The Rosewood Thieves (really cool love the guitar).
Recently I discovered http://pitchforkmedia.com (link… click it, baby!). I am in cyberspace heaven there! It’s sooooo awesome. I’ve got to say I’m visiting there for recommendations for good music. I don’t nessicarly hate everything everybody else is downloading… It’s just I like to be a class a orginal like Coco Chanel said “To be irreplaceable, one must always be different”. Let’s disect (eww horrid word let’s instead say) break down the quote. If there is nothing like you you can never be replaced because nothing would match up. To me Indie music represents that. I desire and aspire to be higher than the rest (fashionably, intellectually, and creatively)
Here are some videos:
This one is Mansard Roof by Vampire weekend
This one is The Dandy Cowboys by Soko
This one is Honey, Stay Awhile by The Rosewood Thieves
