hi friends. it's been a good 4 months since i've posted anything on this. life got a little crazy this summer but i'm back and ready for a season of my newly-resurrected musical palette.
one of my favorite spotify features is the starred playlists: so easy and accessible so I'll never forget my favorite songs. here are a few that i've had on repeat the last couple months.
- 500 miles - sleeping at last. ok guys. confession: i still watch grey's anatomy. this was in the season finale and i couldn't stop listening to it. maybe i still can't.
- no diggity - chet faker - how can you not love this? a sexy, swaggy version of Blackstreet's 90s hit
- open - rhye - what can i even say about this? the first time i heard it was in June when I was in phx for a wedding. driving to a DQ (no shame) during the 100 degree night before the big day. a fellow bridesmaid put it on and i was instantly obsessed
- mr. little jeans - the suburbs. second favorite cover of the year. LA friends - MLJ is coming to the twilight series at the pier on Thursday!
- you won't be missing that part of me - melody's echo chamber. i usually don't use the radio feature on spotify but i decided to dabble in it one afternoon while on the tame imapala station. i was pleasantly surprised
- dreamers - savoir adore - was driving around little cottonwood canyon with a friend and this came on his playlist. so good and summery
- wreckin' bar (ra ra ra) - the vaccines. not-so-embarrasing confession - i recently got an hbo subscription to watch a couple of shows that had rave reviews (the wire & six feet under). long story short, i got hooked on GIRLS before i even started either of the shows. i may or may not have finished both seasons in less than 2 weeks. anyway, the show is incredible and the music is equally good. this song is from one of my favorite scenes in season 1 .... but i won't spoil it for you
- psychotic reaction - count five - also from Girls. also a great scene
- royals - lorde - ok i may have been the last person in the world to hear this song (probably due to my salient dislike of the radio). my friend and dental hygienist played royals for me while cleaning my teeth with yarn (basically) and despite being in pain, i couldn't help but snap my fingers to the tune of that cute little kiwi
- new theory - washed out. i know i should be talking about how great the new washed out album is but i haven't listened to the whole thing is so let's save that for another day. a few weeks ago i went to see the spectacular now and immediately made a playlist of all the songs i remembered. this was my favorite
- we can't be beat - the walkmen. i had forgotten about this albbm and found this song as i perusing my best of 2012 playlist. so great.
- did you see the worlds - animal collective - anyone else obsessed with that 40 days of dating blog? this was the song they used in the video of the day they held hands for 8 hours. love is cute.
- ways to go - grouplove - my latest obsession. can't wait for this album next month
- roman - housse de racket - another Girls favorite.
- passenger seat - dcfc. i've been on a true dcfc/ben gibbard/postal service kick. back in 2007 i went to see him at his live tour he did and i recently found the all songs considered live show recording of it. here is it if you want to give it a listen.... two thumbs up. this is my favorite song from the set.
- medicine - daughter. Daughter is probably my best find from the last few months. this song was featured in an incredible sytycd dance a couple weeks ago.
- wicked game (cover) - james vincent mcmorrow - i'm sorry but i have no words. seriously, i have never, ever shed tears watching this show but this sure did it for me. listen to the cover and watch this.
