eat, pray, love

My most recent literary escapade....

Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

After expressing a desire to dabble in this book to a dear friend, the book literally fell into my lap. Driving by him on a warm spring day, he tossed the book into my window and there it landed. On my lap.

Nothing makes you feel more full then Eat, Pray, Love. It is Gilberts story of traveling the world after a painful divorce, break up, and years of depression. She sets out to find solitude in herself through spending time in three different countries: Italy, India, and Indonesia. Relatable and real, funny and heart wrenching. You can't help but feel for her, and wonder if she has been sneeking a read in your own journal. I appreciate her vulnerability to the audience that she has invited into her life.

Italy will make you hungry, India will make you feel calm, and Indonesia will just make you feel fresh.

Highly recommended, please read.

woa.

give it a try

Love them or hate them, MGMT - straight out of Brooklyn - are my favorite listen these days. Formerly known as The Magangement, members Andrew and Ben attended college together at Wesleyan and had no intentions of starting a band. They were just a couple of friends who always chilled and showed each other their favorite music of the moment. This lead to them messing around with electronica and "noise rock" which now are a part of their signature sound. MGMT had been a favorite of mags like Spin and Rolling Stone back in 2007, who both named them "a band to watch".

Their first CD - Oracular Spectacular - was released this past October digitally, and again, in CD form in January. They are often compared to Muse - but I find them to be 2 very different bands. Prefix Mag has described MGMT music as "sounds like a college-dorm experiment gone horribly right" - pretty damn accurate.

My favorite track is "Electric Feel". Sounds so 90's it hurts. In my car the other day, after a couple Blue Moons and a plate o' nachos, I had Oracular Spectacular playing low beneath mine and Emily's conversation. However, when track 5, Kids, came on, Em's superpower ears recognized the song and turned it up after yelling "WHO IS THIS I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOREVER!" Yes, you may enjoy it too if you give it a try.

I definitely recommend Electric Feel, their single Time to Pretend (featured in the movie 21), and Pieces of What.

The video for Kids:

i love you.

dont hide. i love you. thank you for making amazing music

Narrow Stairs, Death Cab for Cutie

is a must have.

Sorry for being cultish bout the death cab. This is the last post about them for a while...promise. ( until i bask in their greatness on June 11th)

Anyway. Give a listen....it gets my seal of approval.

the family jewels

looking for legit, awsome, beautiful vintage clothing? tired of goodwill on route 22? we have the answer.

The Family Jewels

While perusing the streets on a spring day Jess and I stumbled upon a prize among prizes. The Family Jewels located on W23 between 6th and 7th is a dream not only for the fashion diva but for us regular folks intrested in the threads. Walking down the steps you are over come with purses, hand bags, and handkerchiefs on the first few tables. Walking further into the store, on your left is an endless case of broches, necklaces, clip on earrings, and rings. To your right you will find racks and rack of dresses, coats, skirts, shirts. The tags of the clothing not only hold the price but the time period of the piece. Yes the prices may be hefty, but if you want to treat yourself to a one of a kind piece that totally says something about you...I say go for it. Who cares! Not I, I would never judge.

In the back of the store are shoes and shoes...my favorite thing about vintage or second hand stores. Shoes, hats, and the dressing rooms are in the rear where you will most likely find the staff steaming new incoming dresses. It's fun just to browse, has men's clothes, and you feel like you have walked into a time capsule.

Take a peak, and if your feeling frisky make a purchase. But I must say you are entitled to send us a picture of what you bought!!

Happy Wednesday. Its glorious out.

take me back.

to 1989.

Death Cab for Cutie

If your getting excited for Death Cab's highly hyped album Narrow Stairs, then get pumped with a little bit of this.

sweet daytrotter session

I must say I am pretty excited for it, and I hope it grabs my heart just like the rest of their albums and songs. I won't lie, it took a while for me to get hooked on pre released single I Will Possess Your Heart. But at 1:30 am, on a rainy night....nothing sounded more perfect. There is nothing better than music that requires an acquired taste.

ewf! stings!

yikes

poor MK , not lookin so hot. Sorry to get all Perez on this post...but I had to share. The blurb next to the picture gave me some good out loud chuckles...have fun.

almost done.

we've been slacking. it's finals week. nuff said. summer starts for me as of 730 pm tonight! until then i am going to go back to studying with the promise that e-rose will be making a comeback as of this weekend.

things to look forward to:
one very delayed review of the feist show

until then, you should do what i do when i'm studying...and that's find random websites out of boredom. this one isn't so random, but if you're bored...there's no better site to visit.
http://www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=1

all you have to do is click and for every time you click you are helping to donate food to the hungry. it's absoltely free. they are able to do this because each time you click, they display ad's from their sponsors. all the money they make from the advertisters goes straight to charities who are involved with feeding the hungry. makes you feel like you did something worthwhile with time that you spend clicking around on other sites anyway.

also - let's all make a pact. em and i decided that this we will start to love our bodies and no longer take 2 hours to get ready beacuse we can't stop looking in the mirror and complaining. we should be so lucky that image is our biggest problem. life's way too short for the way that we've been living. time for change. let's all do it.

happy humpday folks. i'll get back at you soon.

lightspeed champion

after hearing a sneak peak on a daytrotter session I felt like I needed to get my hands on this:

Lightspeed Champion

The first song that I heard was a cooled down version of my now favortie Dry Lips. If you want a step into my life; it usually takes me up to about 3 weeks to decide if I want to commit to a purchase of music. But after hearing just one mp3 of Lightspeed Champion, I made my way to the itunes store fairly quickly.

After purchasing the rest of the album Falling Off The Lavendar Bridge, I am more than pleased. It is a different sound that I think we can all can get used to. Devonte Hynes sings to us with a calm english voice over interesting musical interludes and using sweet vocal layering and harmonies. Before this adventure you would have found him in the band Test Icicle. What are my favorites you ask? Dry Lips, Everyone I Know is Listening to Crunk, and Midnight Suprise.

but anyway. check them. sweet tunes...I like a lot...lets support.
