So it begins again. March is here. With Paris fashion week afoot, take this treasure with you into the battle field. Take pictures for me. Love you,

LISTEN UP: DECEMBER

      Listen... I know Christmas is only two weeks off  and there is nothing even slightly Christmas like on this months playlist. But... I just couldn't do it this year. I haven't listen to any  Christmas music this month. To be honest, I haven't wanted to. I would much rather just listen to some oldies. Not that there are really any oldies on this playlist either (I'm thinking about doing a second playlist for that reason).

   So here is my joy-less playlist. It's good though (If might say so). A few of my favorite artists but also a few new ones. 

(p.s It's growing so keep listening)
1.                                                                                                             2.

     

1. Jacob Banks 2013 Single "Worthy"- One of my personal favorites this month. 

 2. Dido's new single on her Greatest Hits album- released last week. A long time favorite artist. (Great song to dance to, if you were wondering. especially if you're alone. In your room. At nigh )

We've got a few others.. The Passengers (which, by the way, I never thought I would like any of their stuff. But the lyrics on that song get me every time.), James Vincent Mcmorrow (He has been in the last two. Crap), Birdy (listen. Mock me. I love her. In honor of Catching Fire I had to bring back the number she did for the first hunger games), Sanders Bohlke ( I had never heard them till I stumbled upon them in my cousins playlist), and more to come.

                           

LISTEN UP: DO MY THING

     For those of you who missed out on last months playlist, here's what's going on: "This is a little something I like to call the “Monthly playlist”.. I usually go through music incredibly quickly (Unless its an artist I just can’t shake, everyone has to have their staples), and I have people constantly asking what I listen to. So, why not make a playlist each month and share? From here on out there will be one of these posts each month at some point or another, with some fresh tunes for you. Feel free to follow along on my Spotify account as well." This playlist will be growing throughout the month, so subscribe or check back to get all the fresh tunes."

What we have this month, so far:
Lorde- The teenage pop star. (I have to say.. Not always my forte, but I love her voice on that song)
Flume- The Australian wonder. (Ft. T-Shirt?)
Rhye- The indie duo. I really don't mind there album "Woman" this month.
London Grammar- They might be on the next few playlists aswell. Get used to it.
Phoria- I'm anxiously awaiting more from this five piece band.
Dido- The washed up girl from the 80's
Daughter- Very indie.

LOGIC

      Logic may mean a lot of things for you, such as: reason, sound judgment, a science maybe. The last three days its meant nothing but a click and me. To those of you who have encountered this devil, will know it's you best friend and worst enemy. It makes things beautiful, but you continue to hear it until the moment you fall into a disturbed sleep. Best of luck to all of you who are musically inclined and trying to pursue a life in the recording studio, may you find peace in your moments of sleep. Hat's off.

     Happy one week anniversary November. I'm trying not to think about how close  Christmas really is.. I always try to make a pact not to think about it before Thanksgiving. In doing so, I ordered a pumpkin spice latte instead of a peppermint mocha tonight, just to fight it.  xx

LISTEN UP: MONTHLY PLAYLIST

 

 

     This is a little something I like to call the "Monthly playlist".. I usually go through music incredibly quickly (Unless its an artist I just can't shake, everyone has to have their staples), and I have people constantly asking what I listen to. So, why not make a playlist each month and share? From here on out there will be one of these posts each month at some point or another, with some fresh tunes for you. Feel free to follow along on my Spotify account as well.

 

The above photo is the art work for James Vincent McMorrow's new album Post Tropical (JAN 2014) and single Cavalier (Released October 19, 2013). This will be the second full-length album for this Dublin born Indie/Folk artist. The single "Cavalier" has settled right into my favorite listens the last two days. I can't wait to hear in January where the rest of the album takes us.
