the gaga





i decided to go to lady gaga with some friends purely for the entertainment factor. i bought her album and listened to it nonstop when it first came out. some of the aspects of her live performances/appearances on TV(meat dress, fake blood) put me off and i just chalked her up to crazy, bizarre, out in left field...

self-gratuitous picture waiting in my car

everyone was going CARAZY! when they could see Gaga


i left pleasantly surprised! this show was one of the best i have ever been too. lady gaga is not crazy, she's crazy-gifted. she was so grateful to her fans and talked so much in between her songs about following your dreams and loving the person that you are. it was actually quite inspiring! not to mention her vocals have the capacity of the likes of Christina Aguilera. lady gaga sang a couple ballads on her piano and i was blown away at her talent. fun fact: i learned that she writes all of her own songs and melodies! pretty rare for a "pop" star.


who does the poker face better?
man hand alert!


there was such a great energy about this concert. i got the biggest chills during the opening of the show, and i couldn't sit down for the entire 2 hours that she played! 13 wardrobe changes, her troupe of dancers, the stage sets. it was a work of art! at the end of it, all of us agreed that she had turned us into huge fans.

telling her monsters AKA fans to put their paws up

Katie, Paige, me & Jacqui

grand finale- bad romance

if you get the chance to see her, don't pass it up!

I'm all ears- florence + the machine


not much I love more than discovering new tunes to be the soundtrack to my life. My favorite is finding indie music that's not 100% mainstream (at least here in the US) and blasting on the radio every 5 minutes ( I swear if I hear another "oh na, na..." by rihanna...)



currently i am listening to florence + the machine. have you heard of them? Uhhh-mazing. It is just the right amount of ... well everything in my opinion. Florence has a powerful, unique voice & with her 7-piece band it is definitely a fresh sound to my ears, and I just can't help but bust a move in my robe during my AM routine.


If you have a few minutes, this is one of my favorite songs so far...



find out more about florence + the machine here.

discovered any new music lately? i'd love to know!

the sweet tunes of summer


Top: Coco Rosie rockin' the mic
Above:Tyler & I at said concert for his birthday celebration


WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! I can't believe it's time to bid summer farewell, can you? I can't say that I'm completely ready for the switch, but I think my daily mantra "I'll be grateful for what I get" towards the change is working. a little bit.

Without further ado, I give you my summer soundtrack. I love music and I always associate songs and artists with nouns(people, places, things-get with it!).


{The artists I'll remember this summer by}

Lily Allen
The Submarines
The Blow
Ingrid Michealson
Coco Rosie
SeaWolf
Vampire Weekend
Kate Nash
Ratatat
The Weepies
Beach House
Camera Obscura
She & Him
Brandi Carlile
and......

Celine Dion & her 90's counter parts(think Bryan Adams and Mariah Carey). Don't hate!


Who's on your soundtrack?

Girls and Boys




Oh Ingrid, how I loved your concert! You are a supremely talented, hilarious, honest artist.






I promise that is Ingrid, even if it looks like just a blob. I love my camera!
