that's what he said
“How can you say one style is better than another. You ought to be able to be an abstract expressionist next week, or a pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you've given up something. ... I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's going to happen, that's going to be the whole new scene." - Andy Warhol, 1963

the wind has changed and now it's brought all the sweetest smells he'd forgot,
not the faintest stench from the old days as it all finally drifts away.
damn those skeptics, harbingers of doom; negative epidemic, followers of Hume.

NEW ALBUM FROM FUTURE ISLANDS!
"ON THE WATER" - GET INTO IT!
i hope you're reading this like i'm shouting... cause i am. i'm so excited about this album - it's so different from their last album, in evening air.
if you're like me and fell in love with their energetic sound and singer samuel herring's frenzied vocals in in evening air, be prepared to fall in love all over again, but this time with a different side of future islands - the same energy but more toned down, relaxed, smooth..... like being on water.
here's a few tracks to check out!

some friends are coming over later today for some turkey dinner. nom nom nom. my sister and i made our first ever (!!) pumpkin pie last night. it should be in a cooking magazine - it's so good looking.
so i won't bore you with all the things and people i'm thankful for (including pumpkin pie), but i will tell you that i'm thankful for.. wait for it - MUSIC! bet you didn't see that one coming.
just started listening to the guards and am hooked on "crystal truth." it has a romantic feel to it.. like slow dancin' romantic.

i spent saturday night out in white rock BC, which is now easily one of my favorite places, and now i'm CURED! alright, maybe not, but a little.
salt air, sand, ocean, mountains, sunset - i think i'd be content just about anywhere if i have that.
this song seemed appropriate.. enjoy.

drag me on back to shore.
Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
And I know not where I should begin
Some days it feels like you just can't win
No matter what you do or say.
Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
Life is short but it feels much longer
You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger
To pull yourself through the day.
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!

frozen out of focus
when i was a teenager i would find all my music from new skateboard and snowboard videos.
i'm not sure which video this came from, but i think it was played during the credit line after Jamie Thomas' part.
i was stuck on this song instantly.
still am to this day.

Better late than never!
Nothing really new and exciting for the April playlist. Mostly poppy, upbeat music. Apparently I needed the motivation.
I spared you from my top 5 most played songs: Britney, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Classified and Natalia Kills.
:\
....I'm going to go bury myself in shame now
One band that I'm really excited to share with you is Lord Huron.
I hope this find will redeem me of my guilty pop music pleasure!

i've been listening to lykke li's new album, wounded rhymes a lot since it came out. it's amazing (i think its impossible for her music not to be. total babe.) i think i've said this before about other albums i like but it's one of those albums that gets right down to your bones.
there's no other way to explain the feeling you get when you listen to her music.... and this album.
i have tickets to see her in vancouver in may! i can't wait. this is one of my favorites. enjoy!

Another snow/ice/rain storm here on the east coast.
Most of the city is shut down but i'm here at work keeping busy, huddled next to a portable heater, a jumbo cup of coffee, with this on blast:
Happiness!

there's no big bang there's no big mess
The water wash sprays off, pinpricked my lips.
Wet wood framed moonlight, barely barrel of slits.
Came too far to watch it drift off now I can,
let my ship slide along right off that cliff,
right off the cliff,
right off the cliff.
Could have set you to rest,
I could have told you that I loved you to death.
Make a million memories, you talk in wasted breath.
Wave my hat and beat my chest while listening 'til it hits,
your loveliness, I'll give you one that you never forget.

i just started listening to dead confederate and their new album sugar. this is a song off that album. apparently they'll be playing a few shows with deer tick soon. fingers crossed they come to vancouver again.

mine is yours
New Cold War Kids!!! Produced by Jacquire King (of Kings of Leon fame) the album has a significantly different sound than Loyalty to Loyalty. Definitely more mainstream radio friendly...
Some say it sounds a little over-produced, that the album lacks some grit and soul from their previous work. I would have to agree.
Regardless, Mine Is Yours has been on repeat for a few days and I am enjoying it.
Draw your own conclusion!
Check out some tracks!
drain the blood
open your heart
open your hands
i love the moment that you command
it's true
loving you
rural alberta advantage are playing here in april, and i have tickets! happy.

white winter hymnal
well hi there!how have you been?
it feels like i haven't posted in forever, primarily because i had all previous posts over the holidays pre scheduled. now that things have settled down and my computer situation has been fixed, i'm ready to get back into finding some really great music!
my plan for the new year is to create a playlist at the end of every month that sums up exactly what i've been listening to. like most, what i listen to is greatly influenced by where i am, what i'm doing, and the energy around me.
this time of year i go into a pseudo hibernation, i like to stay indoors (preferably close to a fire), stay cozy, drink lots of peppermint and chai tea and get lost in a book.
i've been buried in a lot of fantastic books over the past couple of weeks, there hasn't been much that has been able to draw me away.
except maybe a perfect snowfall...
inspired by beautiful scenery, stories i have immersed myself with, and the soundtrack from Jack Goes Boating, i give you the first of a monthly playlist for 2011!!!!
while you're listening, i'll be quite content curled up in a fuzzy blanket with another good book!
cheers!
ahhhhhhhh
i never usually listen to rap... or hip hop..
but my sister put on kanye's new album last weekend and i made her put this one on repeat.
