coachella 2013!!!!

 i've heard mixed reviews about this year's lineup, but personally i am so freaking pumped. it reminds me a lot of 2010, which i was also a huge fan of. i missed last year, but the year before i was not happy with the lineup. so basically, i'm in love with this because THIS is my kind of music & i cannot wait!!!

also, i was shocked when i saw postal service! i thought i was the only person who still listens to them on like a daily basis. might be what i am most looking forward to.

others i love: phoenix, the xx, postal service, bassnectar, Passion Pit, of monsters&men, pretty lights, the Lumineers, band of horses, la roux, modest mouse, hot chip, yeah yeah yeahs, J5, vampire weekend, mimosa (saw in nashville-awesome). 

xxxx

ps. i'll post a playlist soon 

all good things are wild & free

... for my fellow festys out there, i saw empire of the sun @ coachella and they know how to put on a show. it was a bit trippy with all their insane costuming and set changes. it was pretty rad and crazy on the eyes, but still a very chill atmosphere. (my favorite is "walking on a dream" but i've already posted it)

but mumfords still has my heart. just watch this video in awe. their musical talents are surreal, with a variety of instruments on stage for every song. to be THAT great at guitar... *sigh* if only.

my brother just got back from bonnaroo a few days ago so he has been filling me in on the events of the weekend, and also bringing tears to my eyes with jealousy. i wish i could have been there so badly, but family comes first & i have no regrets passing up the festival to spend a weekend with a million cousins/family that i hadn't seen in years! but check back soon i'm on the search for the best roo videos and i'll make a playlists in honor of this past weekend in good ole manchester, TN. xo.

COACHELLA 2011

happy coache11a to all! the lineup is finally here

i put together a playlist of some artists that caught my eye right away. enjoy. xo

phoenix

I saw one of my favorite bands at the Hollywood Bowl last night... PHOENIX. They are simply amazing.

I could tell they were so excited to be performing in Hollywood, you could just see the excitement of their accomplishments on their faces.
Because they are from Paris... now that's inspiring, they are taking over many playlists like my very own.I had to get a picture with my shoes... they are pretty badass & it seems like every time I've worn them out, they always get cut out of the pictures hah

"Ah I never loved you

And if I loved you

I wouldn’t say I’m sorry oh no

I stand outside under broken leaves

Always and forever more

And together getting lonely

I thought I couldn’t do this without you

Single in his bed somewhere

Ashes still it fall fall falls"

live from hollywood bowl:

"They say an end can be a start

Feel like I've been buried yet I'm still alive

It's like a bad day that never ends

I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny

I'd better learn to accept that

There are things in my life that I can't control"

"They say love ain't nothing but a sore

I don't even know what love is

Too many tears have had to fall

Don't you know I'm so tired of it all

I have known terror dizzy spells

Finding out the secrets words won't tell

Whatever it is it can't be named

There's a part of my world that's in the way"

"If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know"

"No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can wait, I can wait, I can wait..."

playlist #9 :: indie

bum bum bum::: my new band crush is Razorlight. They are an English band & i love their music! Not to mention the lead singer has a bangin body. On the website i use to make my playlists I could only find live versions, so you should really download their tracks!!I personally really like this playlist, so I hope you do too. It's very indie. very good for a night at home, background music while doing homework, or whatever.

Download these bands!!!

ERASE ME:She said I don't spend time like I really should

She said she don't know me,
anymoreI think she hates me deep down
I know she does

She wants to erase me
hmmmmmmmmm
A couple days no talking,
I seen my baby
And this what she tells me

She said I keep on running, keep on running

and nothing works
I can't get away from you,
no

I keep on ducking, keep on ducking
and nothing helps
I can't stop missing you
yeah
It's like I'm her new nightmare

She ain't escaping
It makes me feel a bit complete
yeah
Knowing someone you love
Don't feel the same way about ya
Memories, they soon delete
hmmmmmmm

A couple weeks no talking,
I seen my baby
I've missed you so damn much,heyy
I wish we could start over,
I told my baby

PURSUiT OF HAPPiNESS:

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
Feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin’ my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams
People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out fuck that
Imma do just what I want lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back
if I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest
if I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets
'

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.


Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’you don't really know about nothin’nothin’

tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies
tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’
you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow


I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good

Hayley Williams and Kid Cudi need to work together. just sayin.

playlist #7 & self reflection.

So I started getting a little paranoid yesterday because I was looking back on older posts & was about ready to delete a bunch of them to save myself any humiliation if (insert name of judgmental person here) saw them. But then I just took a moment to reflect back on everything I had written, and I can say that I am not ashamed or embarrassed. I have no problem sharing my thoughts with whoever wants to hear, so needless to say, I did not delete anything. Because it is real.

I'm reading "Eat, Pray, Love" right now & she talks about her "inner voice" not in a religious way, but more as her writing voice. This reminded me of my type of writing because I do that, I literally write to myself and give myself advice. To my dismay, I don't always listen to myself. But in these situation I find myself saying some wise things. But the problem is for me, I will write, post, and go on with my life. I too often forget to continue these minutes of extreme passion. So, here are a few of my own personal quotes from older posts that I wanted to remind myself that I once said. And I want to share with you, because I think it has some value....

"You can always find lyrics for the words you can't find or are too scared to say out loud. No one says what they think anymore, so here [music] is a way to fake it. It mends you. It rebuilds you. It inspires you."

"Trust me, its better to feel too much than feel nothing at all. It's okay to hurt. it means your alive. Don't shut off the bad,

let it in so you can heal."

"I always seem to be reminded of my goals when people let me down. Not as if they became less important, but it is the most stable part of my life. People come in & out of your life. They can fool you even when you are as stubborn and hard headed as me. Thats why it's so important to have passion in things you love. LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE. It's the only love that won't change it's mind and walk away."

"Because sometimes all the hard times can turn into a new realm of creativity.... & once that happens, it's beautiful. You get back to things you have always wanted to do & pushed away for a while. Letting yourself hurt like hell, will bring you back to happier days. Even after those days where you physically hurt just thinking about something that's lost. & that's when you realize life is what you make it. Life is how you live it. You make your life work out & you'll find your happy ending one day."

"I think it's okay to want to make a difference. I think it's okay to express yourself in a world where people rarely do. I think it's okay to screw up too many times to count, but to learn from each mistake. I think it's okay to put yourself out there, even if you look stupid. I think it's okay to be a kid at heart... I think it's okay to truly NOT give a fuck what people think about you. I think it's okay to believe in love despite a broken heart. I think it's okay to have confidence in the unknown, simply to know that your life will be more than okay, but that it will be beautiful."

"Some people are like poison and can really affect your life negatively if you do not stand up for yourself and realize you deserve so much more."
