Ah, Toro y Moi, I’ve liked a few of your songs for some time now but recently it’s Blessa that’s really struck a chord with me. Pun so intended.

Looking for some chill ass music? Toro y Moi is your dude.

Give him a listen and you’re bound to feel relaxed.

I’m liking the way the area rug is almost identical to the squares on the album. And the way those folding screens in back mimic the album’s mountains, as does the color in the artwork. The white sofa represents the horizontal white font.

Happy Monday!

You know you’re getting old when you look forward to spending your Friday night at home making meatloaf. I’d been looking forward to this since Wednesday. The previous Wednesday. I called it countdown to meatloaf.

TH called it a night at 9:30 pm. I’m a little younger and still have some cool in me and passed out on our sofa at about 11:00 pm. Such a rebel.

Overall is was a fun weekend. Fun, if you’re in my age group.

Last weekend things got really crazy for me and I went out. My friend and I went to a show to see that t-shirt band. I mean Blouse (blogged about here). They’re better than their name. Following Blouse was psychedelic pop band, High Places. They were dope. Then again, tickets were cheap and I was happy to be out, so my expectations were low.

This album cover is a little psycho-delic. Room is chic-odelic. And now I’m a geek-odelic.

I think my favorite comparison is that square on that face mimicked in the coffee table.

And what’s not to love about the color combo?

How wild was your weekend? If you say you made pot roast, I’d say you’re dangerous.

When my friend told me about this Blouse band I couldn’t help but want to laugh. A band named Blouse? Was there even a thought process to the name selection or was the band going through their closet when inspiration hit and liked blouse more than dress or shoe? Maybe had they been in the kitchen they would’ve gone with egg or toaster. Refrigerator might’ve been too long.

Anyway. I haven’t fully committed to liking this band though I do somewhat like this 80s sounding song. I do however love the album cover. A dreamy pink cover with cool font and bits of gold. Yes, ma’am.

And a pink, romantic bedroom to match.

Let’s hear it for Blouse (heee hee heee)

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent all day yesterday nursing a hangover, watching a Jersey Shore marathon. I’d say I reached a low point.

Today I bring to you Friends. Listen to this song. Preferably on repeat. It’s a sultry dance pop track. Watch the video and you’ll ask yourself, What the hell did I just take? Make sure to expand the screen for full effect.

This room reminds me of something that would get trashed by people who listen to this music. Except me. I wouldn’t do that.

Happy Monday!

I LOVE this Chromatics song, which means by next week I’ll probably hate it because I tend to play and replay a song I love until I almost can’t stand it.

TH said, I don’t like this song. It’s depressing. Sounds like Sarah Mclachlan.

A) now I’m depressed because you offended my musical taste. And B) maybe it is depressing because nowadays I really only associate Sarah Mclachlan with that saaaad animal commercial. You know the one. I didn’t link to it because that would be cruelty to you.

Back to the song. Kill for Love is not woe is me depressing. It’s more like I’m human and I have real feelings depressing. C’mon these people killed for love. How Romeo and Juliet. Only they died for love. But they killed each other. Same thing.

And actually I’m terrible with lyrics so I don’t even know what the song is about, but I’ve been into that sounds-like-you-recorded this-in-your-parents-garage sound.

I mean, and then there’s the album cover. This is art. And that room. Rich!

Happy Monday!
