This past Saturday I went to a local car show with my dad. Father/daughter date if you will. I brought my camera and since it's been months since I've really used it, I was a little nervous. Classic cars are one of my favorite things to photograph so needless to say I got a little carried away. For possibly the first time in years my dad moved faster than me.
These are only a few.
When I said I got carried away...I meant it.
This one is my favorite.
Hope you enjoyed.
On the agenda this week is work, work, work, maybe some art and coffee, a photo class on Saturday and of course BEER! It's St. Patrick's Day. I. Love. This. Day. Green everywhere. What are you doing to celebrate?
Mine are all due tomorrow. The only thing getting me through it is knowing I have one more class (a week long class, mind you, later this month) and I am done. FOREVER.
Graduation baby.
That is my excuse for being a little late this week.
For some reason it is always raining when I post the weekly music and this week is no exception. It's raining and cold and Cage the Elephant seems to know this. Their musical stylings flow fluidly into my head as I write until my fingers bleed.
CTE seems to get a lot of crap for having a similar sound in voice to Jack White of the White Stripes and here is what they have to say about that. (It's kind of a swift kick in the balls to the critics, media and general haters of the public.) Dig it, yo.
"In One Ear"
The lead singer went from dirty, 90's grunge to sexy mental patient...I'm alright with this.
Side note: Anyone else watch "American Horror Story?" Lead singer looks like Tate.
"Shake Me Down"
Loved the song then I saw the video. I cried a little and people in the coffee shop might have thought I was crazy.
"Around My Head"
This is just hilarious. I like zombies-you should to.
"Ain't No Rest for the Wicked"
This is what they are known for.
Hope this helps erase the rainy day blues and put a little pep in your step.
For some reason it always seems to be gross outside on Totally Rad Tuesdays. Therefore you can rely on the music to warm you up...that and coffee.
Everyone has that one band or musician who they can listen to forever. If I was stuck on a dessert island (with no hope of ever getting off...) and I could only bring three things I would bring a crap ton of books, a lifetime supply of lip balm and a man by the name of Clarence Greenwood or more commonly known as Citizen Cope.
*Insert googly eyes and dreamy sigh here*
Most people know a song or two of his if they hear it but his voice, music and lyrics stretch far beyond. He is very political but with a voice like honey. Oh, and the dreads with the face scruff...
Just go listen before I start a tangent.
"Pablo Picasso"
"107 degrees"
"Bullet and a Target"
"Hurricane Waters"
This is my personal favorite.
Enjoy and stay warm friends!
Feel free to let me know of new music. My library is in dire need of expansion.
I apologize for missing last week. It's finals time and graduation (FINALLY!!) on top of that. I resolve to be better from here on out.
I plan on having a little more to post aside from TRT because of this awesome site *drum roll please* PINTEREST
If you haven't heard of this-get on it. It's like crack for chicks.
I've been crafting more and that really takes away from the school work...not that I was ever that on it to begin with.
Speaking of tall redheads....
What? Keep up.
I happen to know quite a lot about tall redheads seeing as I happen to be one. That's about all I have in common with my latest musical obsession.
Florence and the Machine.
I'm sure most of you know about "Dog Days Are Over" but she has some other songs that are amazing. The beats are fierce and her voice is shiver inducing. They make me want to run. So I do...to this.
"Shake it Out"
I've posted on this before, but I love masks.
Masked balls.
Bank robberies.
I'll take it all and this is right up my alley.
"Heavy In Your Arms"
This was awesome before Eclipse-or in spite of.
Just sayin.
"Drumming Song"
There is a live version of this that is wonderful. It makes me want to run away from the sound inside my head.
Hope this helps with the studying procrastination!
I am in a stellar, groovy, excellent, fantastic and down right funky mood today folks.
Today on my musical roster are some tunes that are either making me laugh and dance in my seat at school not giving a damn who sees me. In fact I HOPE people see me and it puts a smile on their face and a bounce in their step.
Note: This is me. I have done and continue to do this on a daily basis. Perhaps that is why I love this movie so much. I have also changed my ring tone to this song. Confused friend faces here I come!
If this doesn't make you laugh-you have no soul.
Now for the real on. It's a toe tapper.
Natasha Bedingfield-Pocket Full of Sunshine
Rihanna- We Found Love
I'm not her hugest fan but I cant get this song out of my head. Let's dance!
Drake ft. Rihanna- Take Care
If I ever met Drake I would casually shake his hand seeming to be the cool white girl who appreciates his music. I would them proceed to attach myself to him and never let go. Crazy white girl who loves Drake.
Drake- Little Bit
Empty house. Underpants. Repeat. Loud. Dance. Get it?
Looking back, I did a NSN post last year which revolved around my love for mustaches. Now, I don't want you to go around with the notion that I am biased against facial hair. I do not discriminate.
Beards are hot.
MEN: Grow them. Wear flannel. Cut down a tree.
Please allow me to share some awesome.
(I may have gotten a little carried away...)
My advice for men ^
This just made me laugh. There is a thing as too much.
