saved my life

{lanalanalanalanalana}

i cannot get enough. of. ultraviolence. (if you haven't been paying attention to/drowning in my tweets about it, ultraviolence is the new lana del rey album. and it. is. great.)

i'm hesitant to even let you listen to just the one song. because really, it is a whole thing. the experience of the whole album. blah blah, for more articulate conversation on the topic, read this.



secret not-so-secret share: this album is SO FUN to sing along to. such great opportunities for harmony. so much sighing and rolling around in head voice like the alto playing the disney princess.

okay. you caaaan listen to the whole shebang below, and i strongly recommend it. yes. i mean. if the opening guitar twang doesn't get you sooo excited, i am not sure we can be friends anymore.



happy monday, bonnies blue.

saved my life

i have been rather harumph-y about the acapella pop groups trend for many reasons. mostly i'm a harmony/singing snob, and i'm all 'guys it is just the coolifying of choir', like, this ain't new, everybody calm down. aka i'm a no-fun meanie. also i don't have anyone to harmonize with so i'm cranky and jealous, i'll admit it. (kristel why can't you just live here in my apartment, and we won't do anything but sing, come on now.)

ANYWAYS. i'm breaking my hate-on today because i love this song very much, it gets me right in my super-cheesy-so-you-think-you-can-dancey-melodrama bits. there is a past-erin who could've used this to sing along with so so so loudly over and over way back years ago in jeanette manor. indulging that girl today.

happy monday, ahhhh, ooooooo.

grade nine

this is a riff on what i wanted to wear to grade 9 grad. i think. a very good riffing. jokes and plaid and all those seems in the skirt. squealing noise. still very pleased here on my second spring nyfw post.
