new summer music!

Major discoveries this summer in the wonderful world of music! To be fair to all others I have heard and fallen in love with this summer, these were just the first two to come to mind!


John Mayer- Queen of California (from Born and Raised)



and....drum role please!

Dawes- A little bit of everything (from Nothing is Wrong)



I loved both of these from the first time I heard them and have been guilty of keeping both of them on repeat for days at a time!

Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Just 3 days shy of 6 months, I decided to blog!

Oh the horror! An abandoned blog! They are infesting the Internet world wide! Let's recap the last 6 months...

I graduated from college! Yay!



I had amazing shoes for the occasion (which just so happen to be my "single again" shoes...I feel that you should buy shoes for major events/occasions in your life!) Also, my cap was legit! Complete with a 45!



And of course what would graduating be without a party! One of my favorite parties that I have ever had!



And what what would a party be without music!



I wish I could say that the rest of the summer had been crazy eventful...but that would be a lie. It has been a good one though even without traveling and crazy adventure! 

Sorry I abandoned you, poor little blog! Rachel loves you...kinda. =P

told you!

I told you I would post something fun and cheery to redeem myself after yesterday! Also, I need some new music in my life, any suggestions?

6 years.

I listen to these same two songs on this day every year. Well, at least for the past 5 or so. These are my melancholy songs. Tomorrow I will post something ridiculously cheery to make up for these two, promise!

original vs cover?

I have a confession- I love the Who. One of my three favorite bands. (Mumford and Sons is the second, Beatles is third) And Pearl Jam's cover of this Who song made me FALL IN LOVE with Eddie Vedder.

original vs cover?

I love Coldplay. I also love the elderly.  When will these things ever converge, you may ask? Well don't you wonder that any longer! Here you go. The first video here is Coldplay "Fix You" and then a lovely cover by the Young@Heart Chorus of "Fix You". Although its the same lyrics, I feel that they say very different things when Chris Martin sings it as opposed to Fred Knittle. Anyway, listen, enjoy and tell me what you think!

days like today:

I love when songs define what you are going through or what you are feeling so perfectly that you feel like they were written for you. Here is one of mine currently. Enjoy.
