"Jack of all trades... Master of none."

Toro & Moi Master of None
This song is a Beach House cover (put to the Beach House music video) ---but I dig this one so much more. Amusez-vous bien!

Bucket List:
Get someone to write a song about me.

Just think, some unsuspecting girl inspired this tresor.
I would like to be her.

Song: dope.
Artist: even doper.

not in vain

Inspiration:

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Not in Vain, Emily Dickinson

sonnymoon-ers

I just recently discovered a duo out of Boston called Sonnymoon and I love their video (directed by Lauren Santorio). The song is called "Run Away" off of their LP Golden Age. The stop-animation is super dope! Kind of reminds me of Harold And the Purple Crayon (shout out to my 1st grade teacher Mrs. Rock!).


Anyways, they definitely have a nice sound. Sort of Little Dragon meets Bat For Lashes... LOVE!

That was just a taste, but the entire LP is definitely worth DOWNLOAD-ing.

Here's an amazing interpretation of the Houstatlantavegas Drake joint. Covering a hip-hop track truly demonstrates their fearlessness and range. Hope you like it as much as I do.

i'm not a robot

This song to me is obviously about being human and accepting that fact.

This day in age, people so easily lose touch with their very humanity. Society pushes human beings to strive further and further for perfection, so much so that people expect themselves and others to have inhuman characteristics. Hello, Heidi Montag (chick is off her rocker)?!!

People try to make themselves numb to the trials and tribulations of life... Relationships, family, our success (or lack thereof), etc. This song is basically a PSA advocating that we, as human beings, should not be afraid of admitting our vulnerability, accepting our humanity, and being the warm-blooded, emotional, excitable, fragile creatures that we are. It's about embracing your imperfections rather than trying to cover them up. I concur.

Anyways, I like this video... It's a little weird, but I like weird. And it makes me wish I could walk around with colorful rhinestones glued to my eyelids and lips without people staring at me like I'm crazy.

Enjoy.

Marina & The Diamonds "I Am Not A Robot"

I think she looks like my friend Lisa. Lisa thinks so too.

Here's the Penguin Prison Remix to the song. I like it better than the original. Shhhh...

My new favorite group. Dope trio featuring Talib and female vocalists Res and Graph Noble. They combine a lot of different genres (like I like) with their music and are just fresh. Good party/hang-out tunes. Indulge.

Fun video for my favorite track off of their mixtape Party Robot (title is pretty self explanatory). This song really speaks to me. I think any girl can relate to it... Sadly.

"Bedroom Lights"


Please download the mixtape! It's super good.

c'est "la vie"

This song moves me... Like a painting....

The XX Night Time

"Hold my words, keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip"

Picasso La Vie (Blue Period)

I have been fortunate enough to have seen this in person multiple times. One of the most breath-taking pieces I've laid eyes on thus far. And, how befitting one of my favorite songs (conceptually).
