Some more stuff for your ears' enjoyment


The debut album for Visitors Den comes out on May 25.. just in time for the summer. I've heard the entire thing already (lucky me), and the songs are perfect  for driving down PCH with the windows down, for riding your bike with your hair tangled from the wind, for mellow nights with friends & some beers.. It's really great, and I promise that I'm not just saying that because he's my boyfriend.. ;)

Go take a listen to some songs on his SoundCloud before the album drops, and be excited!

new music makes me happy

Fiona Apple, it's been much too long (7 years, actually) since we've heard a peep out of you. I cannot wait until The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do. comes out on 19 June!


I am in love with this song and hopefully can go to your show at the Hollywood Palladium in July!




Norah Jones, when I found out that you collaborated with Danger Mouse on your new album, I was ecstatic! Not that you're not good on your own, but I knew that it meant for a more upbeat album. And I previewed it on her site, and it's pretty damn good. I gotta go pick it up ASAP. 


See you at Outside Lands, Norah!

Two Babes Too Many

If you haven't caught onto the trend of __________ people having problems, or shit __________ people say, well I don't really know where you have been. You should probably google that immediately.

One of my favorites, and maybe the original, is White Girl Problems (twitter---> here). Although I find the 'problems' to be very mundane and spoiled-sounding, I totally agree with 97% of them and have had such problems in my own life. #SoHard #ThatsWhatSheSaid

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

ANYWAY.

Below is the only video that has been posted so far by Babe Walker, the girl handling the twitter feed.


Since then, Babe has been doing blog posts on various rants, gives advice, and tells it like it is in a white girl world. 

Which brings me to my next babe, Lana Del Rey. 


I don't know if I'm late to this parade, but she is amazing. She gives off this retro, sultry, sexy kind of vibe. Her voice reminds me of Chan Marshall (Cat Power) a little bit, but has the attitude as if we were in the 40s and glam is where it's at. I don't know much about her; but I do know that some people have said her performance on SNL sucked, that Lana is a stage name but I've always loved that name, so she wins, and that her hair is as pretty as a mermaid, and lips as huge as ever.



As you can see, she is amazing and it is kind of hard to hate her.

so cool!

Apple & iTunes have released another Beatles commercial and I think it's so cool!

A little journey through their covers. My favorite album was Revolver, what is yours?
