i'm on a music high. 

i've found a new genre i love. not really new. i've always appreciated it. now i'm hooked. i blame emily.

it all started with brandi carlile. then it moved onto a little feist. then priscilla ahn. then the bird and the bee. now this. 

i can't get over indie folk pop. yeah. it's the only way to describe it. 

and i love it. 

just found this awesome artist.

rachael yamagata

let her blow your mind.

love this song, duet. 

. kate nash .

don't tell me that you didn't try and check out my bum, cause i know that you did, cause your friend told me that you liked it.

kate nash

Britain's 2008 best female singer - kate nash has a style that will never go out. love her. love her voice. love her lyrics. she's adorable.

carlee and i may or may not be obsessed this song - merry happy

also. LOVE this song, nicest thing. there's no music video for it, but this came up. kinda cool right?

:: so she dances ::

. the bird and the bee .

a few years ago i got an awesome christmas song (carol of the bells) by this band. 

i think i actually did a post of it during christmas. you'll have to back track and stalk. 

anyway. the other day, my friend came over and we traded a lot of music. i mean...tons. 

one of the songs she gave me was from this band i loved. and it so happens i've been getting back into this band lately. 

this is getting too cryptic. meet.

the bird and the bee

this indie synth-pop band is awesome. if you like blow and you like imogen heap, mix the two together. and you have the bird and the bee. 

here is the cover i can't stop listening to. thanks emily. really.

{sorry about the lame vid. but the song is good.}

this is my other current the bird and the bee fave : la la la

:: concentration ::

finally turned in my portfolio to the AP board.
this is the order i put it in. it's a series. full color. black and white. then black and white with color.
entitled outspoken secrecy

i have the sweetest friends, and we all love to share music. 

as i was introducing new stuff to one of my friends, she told me to look up this song.

at first, i liked it. it wasn't annoying, but it wasn't incredible. . . and yet.

i couldn't stop singing it. in my head. out loud. to other people. 

and now. . . i can't stop listening. 

it's so good.

you are the only one i love

. cage the elephant .

life has been crazy!! i graduate in a week from today, and every day brings a new fun challenge to overcome. man, do i have stories to tell. 

but for now, i'll just give you some new jamz.

i love songs with stories attached. not the same thing you hear over and over these days, just to a different beat - but a real story.

songs don't always have to be about love. 

they can be funny, entertaining, sad, angry - you name it. 

so here is one of those songs.

i'm not going to give much background on them, but this boy is adorable. i love the way he moves when he sings. 

and this song will be stuck in your head for weeks to come.

every time i hear it or think about it, my friends and i just start singing at the top of our lungs and dancing around.

cage the elephant

ain't no rest for the wicked

. brandi carlile .

i don't like country. ask anyone.

this is a folk-pop post. it exists. look it up.

brandi carlile

every time her voice cracks it gives me the chills. so beautiful.

check out the podcast on her on spinner - the interface on itunes. download it. it's free.
