A Friday-treat to the eye

Hayden Christensen

You are my rock n' roll queen

I'm not sure if I've told you this, but I had a very long rock/metal-period in my youth, hehe, okay that made me sound incredibly old, but I am actually still in my youth. Let me refrase that, I had a very long rock/metal-period a few years back when all I wanted was to look a female version of Anthony Kiedis, the leadsinger of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Okay, so the band itself might not be too heavy metal, but his clothes were great. When I look at pictures now however, I suspect I might have been looking more at the very buff, and very tattooed arms when establishing that.

Anyways, my point being, that from that period of time I collected a large amount of different bands and songs that I still listen to today, but maybe not as frequently as back then. I do however still find new bands of similar types of music that I get attached to very easily as my ears have already had it's "adjustment period." Maybe it's true what some say, once a "rocker", always a rocker? What d'u reckon?

Rock & Roll Queen - The Subways

Now, to say this band is anything like what I used to listen to, would be very dumb. They're not at all as rough and dark neither melody, nor text-wise. What they do have is however voice, attitude, and the familiarity of garagey-electric guitars. Me likey.

Poesie Album

Poesie Album - Samy Deluxe

Track recommended to me by a friend. Despite my lack of understanding, and despite my difficulties with appreciating the sound of the German language, I think this song did well in bettering up my image of it.

Pwetty wittle sings

Just to show off the pretty little items I have gotten lately, the first tiny little vase is from my aunt and the second two objects are from a dear, but crazy, China of mine.

If you, as I did, feel a bit mystified by the third thing, in contrast to the second, quite self-explanatory bottle, I can inform you that the hunny-like jar contains lip balm applicable with the spoon-like thing. Like. Such things are derivable from Korea as it turns out, where C was hiding out for a few weeks this summer.

 

And one just to show how big these gifts actually are...

Adorable, innit!



No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

Just thought I'd share a track that I've been listening to a lot lately. It has been especially helpful in summoning some of my energy at 5-ish in the mornings these past few days when I've had to open up a coffee shop I've been working at. Did you read that by the way? At 5-ish!!! Anywhu, it's sort of strange for me to be listening to this one at that ungodly hour as I'm usually the subdued-morning tunes-type otherwise. I do however looove the escalation in it; njoy!

Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine

Ah, and just as a PS, my quiet (or perhaps non-existent) readers, if you ever feel like promoting a song or have a music blog you'd like me to see then feel free to tell me in the comments, and I'll be more than happy to check it out. I am, after all, a music maniac as you might've figured that out already.

And I'm talking any kind of music, I swear I'll give it a shot!

Om Du Lämnade Mig Nu - Lars Winnerbäck ft. Melissa Horn

Saknar redan detta förjävla mycket.

All that I had, is all I'm gon' get

Playing en route in my headphones these days. The Twilight-movies have great soundtracks, and there ain't no way of denying it, regardless of how much you might loath the films.

Possibility - Lykke Li
