This Week's Tunes

This post is inspired by a the Sunday trip to Jackson that my friends and I made this past Sunday. The scenery was BEAUTIFUL (my camera couldn't capture it at alll) and it was so nice to get outta dodge. So... here we go.

May You Be The Road- Bedouin Soundclash

Taro- Alt-J 

Flood Pt. 1- The Acorn

Lions In Cages- Wolf Gang

You're A Cad- the bird and the bee

This Week's Tunez

This week has been pretty crazy what with finals and also A GIANT FLASH FLOOD (which I will post about later) so as always, I have relied on some good music to get through it. Here are the highlights for this week:

Codex- Radiohead

 Lazy Place- Caravan Palace

Leave Your Lover- Sam Smith

Stay With Me- Sam Smith

So Long- Fruit Bats

Tony The Tripper- Fruit Bats

AND I have to include my two guilty pleasures. I'm usually way too prideful to admit when I enjoy music like this (emphatically a music snob) but I needed some pump-up songs and these music videos are wacky enough to make me feel like I'm on a sugar high.

Acapella- Karmin

One Less Problem- Ariana Grande

Sing the Thing: Sia

This is my little cover of one of my favorite songs by Sia called "Soon We'll Be Found." Sia's creativity is incomprehensible and I absolutely looooove her voice. Still trying to get over that stage fright, so I've just been posting little covers to start getting used to the idea of performing. Baby steps. Once again, just a disclaimer, I am no professional. But I love love love to do that music thing! Also, that loud thump at the end, that's one of my pictures falling off the wall. Like I said, not a professional.

Sing the Thing: Kodaline

As I said before, this blog is a place to explore all different types of creativity and experimentation. I've been working in my life to go after all of the things that I'm curious about even if I may not necessarily be good at it. So... without further ado, here is an audio of me singing one of my favorite songs by Kodaline: "All I want." It is neither good nor perfect, but it's something I enjoy and that's what really matters :)

Concert Times

A couple weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity to go to a concert with two amazing bands. It was at Sammy's, a local restaurant. The performances were amazing! There is something gratifying about hearing music that is special to you performed live. I think it's because you can kind of feel the music physically as well as emotionally.

The first band was Brubmy. They were awesome! The guy with the long hair caught me trying to take a sneaky pic of it which was real embarrassing... But look at how luxurious it is. Can you blame me? Go look up their song "The Ballad of the Westwind Kid." It is most excellent.

The second band was the National Parks. I absolutely LOVE them, I have for a long time! Check out their entire album Young. It was amazing.

This Week's Tunes

I absolutely love Spotify for providing all sorts of music for me whenever I need it. These are some beauties I discovered through one of their radio stations this week that have kept me up and going through busy times!
