Beirut - Nantes / Mike Posner - Long Time

One of my favorite things is when the blogs I check out have a "Music" feature. Like a songs of the week or that sort of thing. So I came across Beirut's "Nantes" through Jessica's website where she has a Music Monday feature. I went all the way back to the beginning and am making my way to the present. Anyways, I found that Mike Posner did his little remake of this song, and thought, although the original is 100 times better, it was still neat so would share it. Enjoy both!

future and a past

let's try to entertain this insomnia with a little blogging.


I like a woman with a future and a past

I know things get hard girl but you got it girl
You got it there you go
Can't you tell by how they looking at you everywhere you go
Wondering whats on your mind, it must be hard to be that fine

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you
Everything's adding 
up, you've been through hell and back
Thats why you're bad as fuck and you


i don't need drake's approval :) but the first line is my favorite in this song, and i love the positive overall message. every woman has her own story, her own baggage, no matter if it seems like a big deal to you or not, know that it made her who she is today. and because of that she treats you the way she does. she doesn't do it out of spite. she does it because that's what she was taught is right, or you taught her to be that way. now its up to you to choose if that's good or bad.

yes, women to have their own minds, and are in control of their actions. but to not have been affected by their relationships is a women who has not lived at all. know that much.

Fifty Shades Soundtrack

I've fallen to the ever growing fandom of the "50 Shades" series. :) I love how the author incorporates different kinds of music into the series, so I complied the songs available on spottily and made the songs mentioned in the book into a playlist. Helps with the imagery while reading.

99 Problems. HOVA . Hugo . Tony Lucca .

When I heard Tony Lucca's rendition of this song, I guess I missed the part where they say they were inspired by the Hugo version. Anyways, I love Tony's version, and I really liked his creative work on the show this season! But I wanted to give credit where credit was due, since I did like Hugo's version too. Enjoy!

Valentine Black - What A Woman Can Do

This one came through my inbox today. This is my first post to feature an artist that I was emailed about :) But I was impressed by this track. It just seems so down to earth, and his catching point is "the heart of Springsteen, the head of Dylan, the guts of the Clash and the imagination of Bowie." That would be the perfect rock combo! His first international release is set for later this year. This Irish artist has himself a bright future I think and can't wait to hear more!




one more track for your listening pleasure

Foo Fighters - Best of You

Lots and lots of things going on lately. Coachella this weekend is the biggest excitement :) That's all I've been talking about. And probably will be talking about for awhile. But besides that great moment, school and work are pretty much the routine.

This one goes out to the bestie. It's the song that brought us together so he would say. 

(Spotify finally added red hot chili peppers to their catalogue btw :) )

So Sophomore year of high school, my musical taste pretty much consisted of J-pop (WFL love!). So not listening to English music and never having cable at my house, pretty much put me out of the loop with most things. How did I have friends? haha. Anyways, finally I came out of that J-pop phase, and this was one of the songs I said I really liked.  Then I think finally at that point Eric thought I might actually be cool. And we've been close every since. So thanks Foo Fighters for bringing us together. And I am extremely excited to spend your birthday weekend with you at Coachella Eric <333333

William Fitzsimmons - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want (The Smiths Cover)

I always love good covers. I think William is an excellent vocalist. Friend sent me this song on spotify, and I am hooked. I love Zooey Deschanel but I can't get into her vocals and couldn't get into the cover She & Him did of this song on 500 Days of Summer. I think William does a much better approach.

The Day Has Come

The day has come where my current favorite song might take position #2 because a new one has come along that has captured my heart and ears. (yes I may be over dramaticizing just a bit). Regardless, let me introduce you all to my new favorite.

I know I am a little late in discovering this gem of a song. But I we have officially connected. I will hopefully be hearing this live next month which makes me even more psyched about the fact. I learned this track has a little connection to my late Heath Ledger, who was my favorite actor. So that made me fall in love even more. Just everything about this song is amazing. Thanks for showing this to me friend :) So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Donkeyboy - Cityboy

I don't know if he really reads this, but my bestie said that I haven't posted any music lately, so here it is my friends :) I was listening to a random playlist on spotify and cam across this track. My guilty pleasure is definitely electro-synthpop music, and this is probably the pure definition of it. Hope you all like!!

Mandalay - It's Enough Now

I am having a love affair with this song. Like many, but this is my current muse for life. It is simply beautiful. I was introduced to this song through a friend. They send me originals of hip hop songs so it makes listening to music much more fun. So I will be posting the hip hop song as well.

A little history on the group. Mandalay is a trip hop group (this is probably my go to music as of lately), but what catches me is Nicola Hitchcock's vocals. It is so peaceful just to listen too. And of course my love for anything with violin's. I read that she worked with Tiesto on a track so I'll have to check that out. But accorording to wikipedia, they were tagged as Madonna's favorite band for a little while. Awesome!!!!

Hope you love it!

Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay - 212

I forgot to blog about this song when I first heard it, but saw it over again at GhostGoth and brought it on here. Ya I'm keeping my eye out for her. She's younger then me and got these skills. Sorry if this song makes you a little uncomfortable. But she's gonna blow I promise! Doing pretty good in the UK, so I think we'll be seeing more of her in the future :)

Gossip Girl Soundtrack

One of my guilty pleasure shows to watch is none other than Gossip Girl. The lives of those of the Upper East Side keep me coming back for more every week. But what I am really impressed by is the musical gems that can be found through the show. Some are stuff on the radio regularly, but quite frequently I see myself using my SoundHound app on my phone to find what song was just playing. So, took some work, but I have compiled a list of songs that have been featured on the show thus far that are available on spotify. So I hope you enjoy it and I will continue to update it on a regular basis as new episodes come on.
