New music.


Finding music is almost an art, an art I feel I have mastered throughout the years. When I really enjoy a song or a band, I usually have it on repeat for weeks and weeks. However, what happens when the song suddenly becomes overplayed and you are left with nothing to listen to? That's when I use my favourite music finding tool...last fm.
http://www.last.fm

I love it because it has such a vast array of artists. From sell-outs to underground, they have it all. Now, how to use it? Easy. Let’s say you love Bon Iver, and wish to find a similar artist. On the left hand side, there's a tab called similar artist, click on it and voila, you now have access to all these different artists with similar sound. Another way you can find music on LastFm is by searching a music genre. For example if you wish to find indie-folk bands, simply search for "indie-folk".

Here are some of my latest finds...

The Middle East - I Want That You Are Always Happy - http://www.myspace.com/44938562
St. Vincent - Strange Mercy - http://www.myspace.com/40624756
S. Carey - All We Grow - http://www.myspace.com/537455644
Gayngs - Relayted - http://www.myspace.com/507818150

Happy searching!

Sunday Blues

Did you know that the Sunday blues are a legitimate thing? Sure my source of information on this subject is Wikipedia; however I trust that everyone will agree with the statement below...

"Sunday night blues is an acute condition, mostly affecting nine-to-five workers and students. This condition is characterized by anxiety about the week ahead and a sense of helplessness and depression. It most often occurs on Sunday afternoons and evenings. It is also referred to as "school bus blues" or "Sunday night depression".

I'm all feathered out.

During an episode of a show I will not name (trying to remain cool in the eyes of my readers) I noticed that the leading lady was sporting what seemed to be feathers in her hair. A simple dainty feather, small enough to hide if need be. After seeing this, I decided I HAD to get one as well. My co-worker and I started investigating and found a place that sold them. The following day we were both proudly sporting a nice feather extension.
