Put a Light On

Hello friends! Today... is Tuesday. However,  I have (what I think) is a very good reason for this. Last night I decided that putting up our new logo was worth posting this Music Monday one day late. I'm really, really, really, really excited about it! Designing it took a lot of trial and error. Originally I planned to have sacks of flour with spikes on them, but at best it was just weird. This logo, although it is based off of 'flowers' rather than 'flours',  kind captures what our blog is about and what we want our blog to be.

In the weeks since my last Music Monday (that wasn't all about rap music), this playlist has gotten out of control and expanded times 3.  So many new albums have come out on top of all the new artists I've found that there was no way to keep the playlist down to only 6 songs. I wanted to include every single song on every album, but instead I'll let you guys discover them for yourselves.

 Because I'm lazy, I will only list six of the songs on here. But I do hope that you check out the rest of the song on Spotify, Youtube, Itunes, etc. Think of it as like a Pre-Summer playlist!

The playlist*:
"Put a Light On" - Generationals
"Orange Blossom" - Gardens & Villa
"Ocean's Deep" - Born Ruffians
"While I'm Alive" - STRFKR
"Venice" - The Lighthouse and The Whaler
"Back to the Middle" - Deerhunter

One last thing I'd like to say before I end this blog post is: Hi ppl from my school ☺

Tourist History

Happy Monday, not really!  I've been a little off the entire day thanks to the hour change, which I often question how applicable it is to our modern America when artificial light is quite accessible   Anyways, for the past week or so, I have also been obsessed with the Japanese avatar game Line Play.  I don't understand why I'm so entertained by it, but it is so much fun.  And as a bonus, I've managed to win eight little cat dolls.
So, here's the playlist:

"Stay Useless" - Cloud Nothings

"Believer" - American Authors

"Eat That Up, It's Good For You" - Two Door Cinema Club

"Can You Tell" - Ra Ra Riot

"Dark Paradise" - Lana Del Rey

"Yet Again" - Grizzly Bear

Transcendental Youth

Happy Presidents day and music Monday!  Recently, I finished The Virgin Suicides, which is a feat because it's been sitting on my side table for a couple of months.  I thought it was pretty good read, actually. I'll have to check out the movie now.  In other news, my friend had a really, really fun Valentine's party last Friday that included a scavenger hunt at our local outlet mall and a movie.  The scavenger hunt was hilarious and amazing! I ended up doing the macarena in a Timberland store and I got to hug a rather dapper looking Old Navy employee.  A very memorable night, in my opinion.

So, here's the playlist:
"Are You Satisfied?" - Marina & the Diamonds
"Carried Away" - Passion Pit
"Cry for Judas" - The Mountain Goats
"Naive" - The Kooks
"Rosalinda's Eyes" - Billy Joel
"Playground Love (With Gordon Tracks)" - Air

Light Em Up

I was going to put something insightful, but it has come to my attention that Fall Out Boy is back and I cannot even process my excitement, okay.  The pop punk side of me is flailing right now.

"Hollywood" by Marina and the Diamonds
"Cameo Lover" by Kimbra
"Off To The Races" by Lana Del Rey
"Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" by Fall Out Boy
"Flapper Girl" by The Lumineers
"Layla" by Eric Clapton
Bonus track: "Otherside (feat. Fences) [Ryan Lewis Remix]" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Lover's Carvings

Sorry everyone! Coming out of Thanksgiving break made me forget when the days of the week were, and thus I failed to post a Music Monday :( But don't worry I'll post one today even though its Tuesday! I hope you like it.

Syd's:
Canadian Girl - The Walkmen
lover's carvings - Bibio (this song has a really long intro)
Goodnight Moon - Said The Whale
Island, IS - Volcano Choir
New Loved Ones - Toro y Moi
Where'd All the Time go - Dr. Dog

I also have been listening to Lullatone's "Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures" album nonstop while doing homework... The songs really fit the everyday adventures they were composed for, and they are really relaxing! Take a listen if you are feeling sad or depressed.

Just Another Music Monday

Mondays are the most appropriate days to talk about music on this blog.  It starts off each week on brighter note.  Since it's already our second quarter of school (oh, how time flies by when you're doing schoolwork, not really), playlists are a bit more exciting to discuss than math.  So, on Music Mondays, we will each have a playlist of six songs that we are currently jammin' out to. To listen, click on either Aud's or Syd's.

A Spotify account is recommended for maximum playlist enjoyment. 

Aud's:
"Give Me Love" by Ed Sheeran
"Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds
"Demons" by Imagine Dragons
"Heartlines" by Florence + the Machine
"Black Sheep" by Metric
"If These Sheets Were States" by All Time Low

Syd's:
"Do the Right Thing" by OSCAR & MARTIN
"Beautiful Morning" by Little Brother
"Home Alone" by Young Man
"Ugly Dress" by Jesse Woods
"What to Say"by Born Ruffians
"Late" by Kanye West

Have a nice Monday :)
