I first saw Fool's Gold in mid-September at the INdependent in San Francisco and they blew my mind. Their stage performance is something you have to see in person to understand and their music is so vibrant you can't help but dance to every song.

Enjoy.

more about Iron and Wine "Boy With A Coin", posted with vodpod
Two reasons I love this song: {1} the video itself. Let's be honest with ourselves, we could use a lot more music videos in our lives and a lot less reality shows. I feel like MTV has transformed itself into sad place for music, since music doesn't really live there anymore. Back to my point about the video... the women in this video have a strong, powerful look about them which when combined with the soft tone of the song and their flowing outfits, just makes for a great visual. {2} This song is so incredibly beautiful it is hard to stop listening to it. I first saw Iron and Wine 2 years ago at the Blue Grass Festival in San Francisco and they made me a believer with only one stroke on the guitar.
That was today's MUSIC MINUTE and I will be working on my musical dissection techniques as the weeks rolls on. If you have any suggestions for the music minute please do not hesitate to pass them along to me!
And as always, Enjoy.

more about "The xx - Crystalised", posted with vodpod
I have decided that there will be a new musical post daily - title to be decided "Music Minute" I am not in love with yet, any suggestions leave in the comments section below - since music is a HUGE inspiration in my life.
I love The XX because the sound makes me feel like I am in a secret club for some reason and their voices are addictive. I was first exposed to their gloriousness on indie1031.com [an amazing independent radio station I listened to in Orange County for years and is now available online only - I would take a listen if I were you] and I have become quite a fan almost over night.
Enjoy.

I THINK I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE!

And this little guy is what has stolen my heart. I originally saw this beauty onhollymaus.blogspot.com and instantly went on a hunt for my very own! After a little hinting to the boyfriend of what I wanted for Christmas (email telling exactly what I wanted and where to get it)... it arrived only days ago and is already in my possession and making my free time fun!

One thing that is very different about this camera... it is not digital. You cannot look at the picture and delete it if it is not what you expected, but that is the great part about this camera too. The film is slightly expensive (around $.75 per picture), but for me the instant gratification and tiny prints that are developed right before my eyes is worth every penny. I have already taken pictures of my shoes and added it on to the corresponding shoe boxes and have my wheels turning about an upcoming craft project.

I would say for anyone who remembers and enjoyed the Polaroid experience and also loves small things, because let's be honest tiny things are adorable, buy this camera. You can buy it at bhphoto.com or on ebay it ranges from $84.90 - $95 (film not included).

As the craft project develops I will post step by step instructions and pricing details. Now it is time to go and Fuji Instax my day away!

FLORENCE +

Florence + the Machine - You've Got the Love (Pitron Remix)

more about "Florence & The Machine - You've Got t...", posted with vodpod

This band is my new musical obsession. I actually heard them when I requested a "Taylor Swift" playlist on LastFM.com. And I fell in love with the melody, lyrics and voice of the lead singer. Go ahead treat yourself to more of their songs. You will thank me later.
