Mondays are for Music

Recently I've rediscovered the wonderful music found in 8tracks where people can make playlists on a whim. It's a neat way to find new songs and artists. I've actually made a playlist on my phone based (mostly) on the songs i heard on the site, and it's still on repeat until now!  

As Sure As The Sun - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Blood - Band Of Skulls

Coming Down - Dum Dum Girls

Cough Syrup - Young The Giant

Dreamworld - Rilo Kiley

The Flame - The Black Keys

I Can't Hear You - The Dead Weather

Rolling In On A Burning Tire - The Dead Weather

Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse

The Big Fight - Stars

Maybe Tomorrow - Stereophonics

Lover I Don't Have To Love - Bettie Seervert

Mondays are for Music

what usually keeps me sane through the week (other than massive amounts of food, sweets, and coffee) are my trusty headphones glued to my ears, and of course, the music that comes out of it. here are my current favorites for the past few days.

Mat Kearney - Here We Go, Breathe In Breathe Out, Never Be Ready

Anna Nalick - Breathe (2 am)

Bettie Serveert - Attagirl

Christ August - You Make Me Sing, Battle

Bright Eyes - At The Bottom Of Everything

i actually made a doodle about Mat Kearney's song, Here We Go (which i will post within the week since i was not able to take a picture of it). i think it's a good exercise for anyone who knows how to draw to incorporate a song into a sketch or any image that comes out of their minds while listening to the music. it's also good fun. :)

you know what goes well with rainy days other than delicious bittersweet hot coffee? a kick-ass playlist of songs to induce musings!

Wednesday - Tori Amos

Gold Dust - Tori Amos

For Blue Skies - Strays Don't Sleep

working for 8 days straight and counting. breaks consist of coffee, massive amounts of junk food and bread and cake, new songs on my playlist, and my mind going off to goodness-knows-where. will be updating this post with rad songs i've been currently listening to later. Gotta have my coffee to perk me up now!

so what goes well with coffee, you ask? Macaroons! Sugar-filled, buttery, coconut filled Macaroons! Goldilocks' Butter Macaroons still taste the same from how i remember them many years ago, which is a very good thing because these are crazy yummy.

And here's the song list, as promised:

• A Fine Frenzy - Borrowed Time
• Adrianne - 10,000 Stones
• Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts
• Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am
• Matt Wertz - 519
• Natalie Imbruglia - Shiver
• Sara Bareilles - Gravity
• Secondhand Serenade - Something More
• Tyrone Wells - Sea Breeze
• Howie Day -Weightless

I miss Xanga's Currently Listeing To/Reading headers, complete with the album art or the book cover. i wish Blogger would provide gadgets like those so i could flood this blog with books and music like a mad person.
