Whole New Meaning of 'Fly"

This guy kills the airplane announcements in a rap. Who wishes this happened on every flight?

On a Thursday Afternoon I Made You a Mixtape.

It is sunny, I don't have school, and tonight I'm going to hipster Karaoke. It's a good day, my friends. I thought I'd share my afternoon with you in the form of a playlist. I'm cleaning my apartment to it, but I imagine it would suit many endeavors just as fabulously.

One Day, I Want to be this Cool

I'm super in love with the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's. I need to get to karaoke so I can dance around and pretend I'm Karen O. Sans awesome jacket.

Reasons to Have Friends in Musical Theater

Another gem from my sister Jazmin.

Rainy Evenings Playlist

It's been quite rainy here in San Francisco, and I haven't minded one bit. I get to walk around in my clear bubble umbrella and drink hot tea (despite Jordan's feelings on the matter). It's been extra nice falling asleep to rain sounds. I've had a little rainy playlist for doing my package design homework indoors. I thought I would share it with you darlings!

When I Grow Up

When I Grow Up from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

This video is pretty, but the first time I watched it it kinda wierded me out. I love the song, as it sounds a bit like Santogold and Lykke Li got together stylistically and had a baby. I also like the outfit, despite it being a better version of the ensemble worn by the Guy Behind Winkie's in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. There's just something about the hair in the face and her dancing that makes me think of...Samarra in The Ring. Still, like with most things that are on the creepy/cool border, my vote eventually landed decidedly on cool.

Her Morning Elegance

I ran across this on All the Good Things, and thought the video brilliant and unique. The song is by Oren Lavie, who also directed the video, and got a lot of play in my itunes a few months back. So cute and refreshing.

What's A Girl to Do?

I have very much enjoyed what little music I have come across from Bat for Lashes. But my sister recently showed me this video, and I fell quite in love with this song. The video is creepy and amazing in all the best ways, and definitely deserves multiple viewings.

Florence and the Machine

I'm liking Florence and the Machine. The sound is awesome and different and weird. Below is a beautiful, beautiful song. Interesting visuals. Like you found old super 8 film in someone's attic. But I'm really into circus imagery right now so I warmed up real quick to this:



(but I honestly don't know how I feel about this video)

Angus & Julia Stone: Just a Boy

Oh so in love with this song and video. The paper marionettes and framing make me feel like I'm looking in a Cornell Box.

France's First Lady Rocks

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is the third wife of the French President Nicolas Sarkozy. She also happens to have been a songwriter, singer and model. I loved this song the first time I heard it.



If only she didn't make me feel like such a slacker. C'est la vie, non?
