Thu 20 Aug – Bat for Lashes, Other Lives

I saw Bat for Lashes. There was joy, there was love, there was anger, there was sweat.

First of all, it's hilarious that Staind was playing that same night. There were plenty of things to laugh at.

The crowd was far more diverse than I expected. By diverse I mean there were guys there. I didn't know any male Bat for Lashes fans prior to this.

Other Lives, the opening act, was incredibly amazing. I'm getting their gosh-darn album, dad-gummit. And I want the cellist's number.

In between sets,…

Songs my sister and I know by heart and sing back and forth to each other via text while we're away from each other.

My Dougie
Time (Clock of the Heart)
Total Eclipse of the Heart
Get Low
Booty Meat

I meant to post this around Valentine's Day, but I had an onslaught of stuff to do. Bummer, eh?

Sooooooooooo, these are songs about love that I like. You know, like like. TAKE A HINT, I WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU.

Falling in
Just Can't Get Enough-The Saturdays: More ecstatic than the Depeche Mode original. I like both, mind you. The video is just darling.

After finding two good friends, Jillian and Sarah, were into this business, I had to do it.

I like me some beepy-boopy, so I figured I could handle it.

I started out with Robotique Majestique, seeing as how I tend to test new artists based on their latest work. (Which may or may not be a bad idea.)

My horrible decisions aside, I popped on my music-testing headphones and was pleased.

Heavy Heart is digable. It sounds like these cats were having the best space adventure ever until their ship broke down.

Maybe it's the Cosmos to Earth class…

Halloween is over. The whole month of October (ok, the entire YEAR) was leading up to that day. I didn't have time to check out new music, ok?

Alright, so I'm just making excuses. You can't judge me, you do it too.

Ever since I fell for Goldfrapp, websites and people alike have been telling me to check out Hooverphonic. After avoiding it for awhile, I finally got myself A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular and made myself listen up.

2 Wicky is an instant love. Those slow burning sexy riffs from Walk on By work so well here.…
