Maybe we could just leave this place for good

First listen on NPR: Electric Youth - Innerworld. Click HERE to listen to the full album. I must say I'm liking everything I'm hearing on this radio. Definitely fits my Monday afternoon/evening mood. Electric Youth is a duo made up by Austin Garrick and Bronwyn Griffin. They've been dating since 8th grade. Cute huh?
Hope you guys like this album too!
On another note, today's been good. Work was nice and then I went swimming, which was awesome. I love the water. I miss the ocean and so just being able to swim in a pool and imagine I'm closer to the ocean is exactly what I need right now. Tomorrow I think I'm going to go swimming right away in the morning. Hopefully it'll be less people there then too. Probably not, but it's worth a try.

Hope you have an awesome week, now I'm going to hang out with my roomies for a while.

Drowned in Angry Beats

This morning I put Vessel's new album on my playlist, after reading reviews stating "Fans of Massive Attack will like this album", which obviously got my hopes up high in the skies. But after the first listen of the album, I was not impressed.

So this afternoon I gave it another try and it sounds better when I'm not expecting a Massive Attack sound. Not too bad. Anima (below) is in fact really good. Quite heavy and uneasy music I'd say. A bit angry maybe. Kin to Coal is my favorite track on the album.

"What does 'Englishness' in music really mean?" is the question Vessel is apparently trying to answer with this album.

Hunger Of The Pine is my favorite so far.

We're In Need Of Someone Wonderful

Hi guys. I'm sitting here in my caftan, eating the most amazing vegan cupcake I've ever tasted. It's got peanut butter and bananas and egg-free mayonnaise. And probably a lot of sugar. Almost as good as watermelon.
So, again the week has passed by. I've been working and therefore spending long days in front of the computer. So obviously I've been happy to not touch the computer in the weekend. It's been a weird weekend, Friday was unexpectedly strange, Saturday was a bit of a drag and today's been slow. Our roomies organized a cool tea party for us though, hence the cupcake. And both Friday and today I went running in Victoria Park, which I love. Beautiful greens, trees, flowers and perfect temperature for running. Makes me wish it'd be September forever.
I've been listening to Saint Saviour (Becky Jones, a singer-songwriter from England who formerly fronted Groove Armada) a lot this weekend. She's got such a beautiful and captivating voice. Fallen Trees is my favorite song by her so far, but I'm really excited about hearing her new album In The Seams that'll be released November 3rd.
So that's about it for this weekend. Hope you all have an awesome Monday tomorrow. I'll for sure be sitting by the computer from 9 AM to 5 PM. Nothing bad with that, I'm just sayin'.

Bye lovelies.
