Spotlight: Metric

This band is definitely not new to the scene, but they are new to my scene! So I figured I would share the wealth!

My good friend, Roxy, introduced me to Metric last week and I haven’t been able to pry myself away from their albums since. They have this infectious indie-pop sound that keeps their songs on repeat for days on end.

Their new album, Fantasies, took quite a while to come out but the time spent is definitely appreciated when listening through some of the tracks such as Help I’m Alive, Stadium Love and Sick Muse. Frontwoman, Emily Haines, states that the title of the album is meant to represent those of the unattainable variety as well as evoke a “dream-like quality,” which is definitely evident.

Metric has the ability to both put you at peace and make you want to rock out. Could you want anything better?
Check out their new video for Gimme Sympathy, which was all shot in one take!

Grunny invades Miami!

For those of you not familiar with the Band From TV, it is made up of Greg Grunberg and Adrian Pasdar of Heroes and a few of their fellow TV buddies. They tour around the country playing mostly covers on their off-time for various charity functions and earlier this week Grunny made an announcement that a new tour date had been added to their website.

I couldn’t have been happier to see it was a Miami show! Looks like Band from TV will be invading the Miami Shore Club on South Beach on May 16th. They are offering two price levels: $100 for general admission & $175 for VIP which includes pre-partying with the band and their friends.

Vloggin’

I have to admit, I felt really silly making my first Vlog and it is short & kind of awkward & ridiculous, but it has puppies. And puppies totally cancel out any awkward ridiculousness. Right? Of course.

Here you get to meet my two little furry monsters: Brad-Pitt & Gwen (Stefani). Although Gwen didn’t behave at all, Brad-Pitt was definitely trying to be a stud for the camera. My favorite part? The epic battle that ensues after I get up to turn off the camera. You gotta love those two.

You also get to meet my silly high-pitched voice (which only gets freakishly higher when excited) and my bedroom of complete disarray. I promise I am usually a very neat and organized person. Just not today apparently.

So I suppose I’m testing out these little videos of myself because I have this project in mind, but first want to test out if vlogs would even be popular on here. So leave your feedback on my silly little video. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Did you think I looked like a complete dork making an ass out of myself? Do share.

And have a lovely Tuesday. 😉

Weekend Highlights: Ratatat

ratatat

When my husband bought tickets to see one of his favorite bands, Ratatat, I have to admit…I really didn’t know what to expect. Ratatat’s “style” is still kind of difficult for me to describe to others, which I had to do quite a bit of Sunday afternoon while explaining to my family that we were leaving Easter celebrations to go to a concert. “They are kind of a mixture of everything” is probably the best I can do & still stick to the same after seeing them live last night.

This is just a post to let you all know that my comments have been fixed and that you can feel free to leave me plenty of love once again!!! I’ve missed hearing from all of you and it was definitely a tough week to blog through. I felt like I could hear the crickets out in the blogosphere!

I know a lot of you said that you wanted to leave comments on certain blog posts last week, so if they are still on your mind, back track and do so!

Much love <3
