I haven’t shared music with you guys in a long time it seems~ I have two favorite songs at the moment, both of which I first heard in DJ Big Jacks’ Electric Relaxation mix.
My roommate Caro introduced me to Aritzia’s soundcloud page, which is filled with tons of really great hour-long mixes (Aritzia is fashion boutique that plays these mixes in their store).
The first song is Love for You by Calvin Harris. I got kind of confused while searching for the song because I happened across this video of Acceptable in the 80s by Calvin Harris, which is quite a different from the song I posted above:
I really enjoyed the color, clothes and everything else about the video though. :p
The second song is Down in L.A. by Munk. I’m not a big fan of the video.. but it was the only way I could post it~ Try listening to it without watching it first maybe. :]
Two singers I love in one song. One duet. I keep a list of duets I love~
I didn’t start listening to music that was made post-1980s until my senior year of highschool. These were two of the first “current day” artists I started listening to..so I guess this song holds a bit of nostalgia for me. :]
Hell No by Sondre Lerche and Regina Spektor
p.s. I’ve been pretty busy lately organizing things lately (transferring my work into a new studio space, celebrating my roommate’s 21st, etc). I know I have a ton of messages, I promise to get to them within the next couple days! Thanks so much for your patience. ♥ ♥ ♥
My roommate Caro showed recently showed me the newest music video of a band called Die Antwoord. I’d never listened to them prior to that, but I’m really enjoying both their music and videos now..I love this song especially after it hits around 1:40.
I also love how there are so many Basquiat-like drawings all over. After I noticed Yolandi’s white crop top I had to make one for myself. I knew that I wouldn’t wear a white shirt so I inverted it and made a black one instead. ;p
Sometimes you just have to make something for yourself. Not for school, selling, or even any practical reason at all. I find that it gets rid of the pent-up stress caused by not having much free time~
Made with a men’s black t-shirt ($0.90 from a thrift store) and tulip soft fabric paint. :]
I’m actually forcing myself to not listen to this album for awhile, it’s so addictive.. if I kept listening to it as often as I did, I’d be sick of it too soon. D:
The whole album (click if you’re interested…) is so catchy, and all the songs are different in a nice way. I tried listening to another of their albums and I just couldn’t get into it. but this album I supersuper recommend.
there are probably betterchoices for the first song to listen to off this album, but this is one of my favorites so.. :]
