Sunday Sounds: Sia

My friend (thanks Tanya!) sent me this song a few days ago and I fell in love the first time I listened to it. First off, it's in the new Hunger Games movie and secondly, it's a song that's made for "interpretive dance". Now, I'm no dance major or dancer by any means but I appreciate this type of art form so much. Most likely because I studied ballet as a child but even as an adult I can appreciate a great dancer (which is probably why I used to love watching those "America's Best Dance Crew" shows lol). Anywhos, love this song and as a stress reliever I randomly dance to this song... in a manner that's similar to this video (which I absolutely love). Enjoy!


"Elastic Heart" (feat. The Weeknd & Diplo)

And another one bites the dust 
Oh why can I not conquer love 
And I might have thought that we were one 
Wanted to fight this war without weapons 
And I wanted it, I wanted it bad 
But there were so many red flags 
Now another one bites the dust 
Yeah let's be clear, I'll trust no one 
You did not break me 
I'm still fighting for peace

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart, 
But your blade it might be too sharp 
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard, 
I may snap and I move fast 
But you won't see me fall apart 
Cause I've got an elastic heart 
I've got an elastic heart 
Yeah I've got an elastic heart 

And I will stay up through the night 
Let's be clear, won't close my eyes 
And I know that I can survive 
I'll walk through fire to save my life 
And I want it, I want my life so bad 
I'm doing everything I can 
Then another one bites the dust 
It's hard to lose a chosen one 
You did not break me 
I'm still fighting for peace 

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart, 
But your blade it might be too sharp 
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard, 
I may snap and I move fast 
But you won't see me fall apart 
Cause I've got an elastic heart [x3] 

 I've got an elastic heart

Sunday Sounds: Tee Flii

Whenever I head back to LA I always have to get my fix of Power 106. There aren't any straight Hip Hop stations in San Diego (or at least that I know of so if you know of any, please let me know!) so I try to listen to as much Power 106 as possible. This was one of the songs that I liked the first time I heard it. Reminds me a little of Chris Brown. The version I have here is the clean version. I would recommend listening to the explicit version if you're into that kind of stuff :P.

Sunday Sounds: Ladytron

Here's an oldie but goodie that I actually discovered in college.

Let the Birth Month Festivities Begin!

It's finally November which means it's time for Birth-Month Celebrations and Festivities!! This month is jam-packed with anything and everything you could think of and although there are a ton of happy events, there's also a sad even mixed in there as well. Here's how my schedule is looking:

• Nov. 1st-3rd: Wedding in Stockton, CA
• Nov. 7th-8th: Funeral
• Nov. 9th-10th: Bachelorette Party in Santa Barbara, CA
• Nov. 16th: Bridal Shower
• Nov. 22nd-24th: FF in San Diego/Birthday Shenanigans + Tanya visits!

I thought I'd start off the month with a few reminders of how to get the most bang for almost no buck on your birthday! There are some treats that you can only get on your birthday and there are other offers that are good throughout the month.

Free Things Throughout the Month:

• Starbucks
• If you have a registered gift card with Starbucks or a gold card, they automatically send you a free drink around your birthday!
• Sephora
• If you're a Sephora Beauty Insider, just go into any store, present your card (or just have them look it up) and wah-lah! Free stuff!

Free Things on Your Birthday:

• Denny's
• This is the only thing I could think of that doesn't require you to sign up for anything. Free grand slam on your birthday!
• BJ's
• Don't forget your free pizookie on your birthday!

Let the birth-month festivities begin!

Hawaii Trip 2013 - Vlog

Howdies! YouTube finally finished processing the video I made of my Hawaii trip and here it is! Enjoy!

Sunday Sounds: Foster the People

I wasn't going to post a Sunday Sounds today since I've been working on the Hawaii vlog all day which I was going to post instead but since YouTube has queued the video for processing, I thought I'd just go and post about one of the songs I used in the video. I discovered this one in Hawaii while listening to Tanya's playlist. Loved the song. I always like to read the first comment (or most "thumbed upped" comment) for YouTube videos and this one is another hilarious one. Have a listen and I hope you enjoyed your Sunday!

Sunday Sounds: Panic! At The Disco

So every time I think Panic! At The Disco, there is only 1 song that comes to mind because it's absolutely one of the best songs ever lol. I mean every person that has gone through a break up could probably relate to "Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off". The beginning of the song says it all.

"Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch his skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me..."

Masterful.

Have a listen below if you have no idea what I'm talking about.





Panic! is back with their new album "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!". I've been listening to snippets of the album and so far my favorite is "The End of All Things". Such a beautiful ballad. Definitely sounds very different from their other stuff but that doesn't mean it's not good.





Another favorite of mine that's a little more upbeat is "Girls/Girls/Boys". All shot in one shot which is pretty cool. I laughed so hard when I saw the "top comment" lol.
