Celeb Style Muse | Stevie Nicks

She rocks my world each time I hear her voice... Such a great band, such a great era, such a great style! Need I say more?

Cecilia

When I found the above clip, I almost slid off my office chair :-) haha it raised some eyebrows with my co workers believe me! This would be one of my fav Simon & Garfunkel songs being covered by a gaggle of gorgeous men who are incredibly gifted with more than musical talents! By the looks this is earlier in their career... Love the use of the tree and the esky in the percussion section too!

It's now official... I am completely obsessed with Local Natives... and I mean COMPLETELY OBSESSED! Not only have I fallen deeply in love with their music, I have to admit I have developed a major crush on Taylor Rice!

How could you not adore this young man??? I mean really... the mo, that mouth and the sound that pours forth from it... and how cute is he without the mo in the clip at the top!!!!????

God help this man if I EVER get within about 500m of him!

Song of the Day | Washed Out

You and I by Washed Out

I'm really looking forward to checking this guy out at Meredith Music Festival this December...
I think I have developed a major crush on ambient/trip hop tunes... you can have your techno, trance and house, I'll stick to dub step, trip hop, minimal and ambient ANYDAY!!!

Recent parties I've been to that friends of friends and crew have DJ'd at have kinda left me deflated and a little disappointed with trance in particular, I think you really have to be on top of the pile these days to really impress as there are so many DJs gettin around and I for one want something more out of a DJ than what they traditionally give you! So it's nice to find guys like Washed Out that give me something I don't expect... I also have incredibly high standards and as I no longer indulge in the chemical assistance that makes some of the worst music sound good, I'm pretty critical!

I hope you like today's tune...

Song of the Day | Middle East

Quite a dark and hauntingly beautiful tune for today!
Another slice of heavenly music that I was directed to a while ago from my beautiful feathered fwend of the south...
Their EP is fantastic though I have to say i really need to be in the mood to listen to it the whole way through... this is def an EP for a late night after a few yoints! Though this song is getting a fair crack on triple J in recent months and the harmonies are exceptional, the balance of the male and female vocalists is stunning and ever so incredibly cute!
Kids from the country now how to make real music so it seems as these band of muso's are from Townsville! Happy listening kids!

Song of the Day | Local Natives

Welcome to my new regular feature Song of the Day!


Click the player belowto listen to today's Song of the Day!

I love this song so much... the harmonies make my heart feel lovesick and the sense of yearning is almost too much to bear (especially with all that keening at the start of the song), but none the less I crave the sensation and listen over and over and over again! If I actually let myself be swept away by the music, it brings tears to my eyes every time... such a journey, such an EPIC journey! These guys are pure GENIUS!!!!

Friday I'm in Love

Soooooo excited for the weekend!!!
Love this song... dedicating it to today and a few random images below as a wee tribute to my fav day of the week! Happy Friday hipsters!
PS - I WANT THIS SHIRT!!!!

Now playing for your listening pleasure

Loving these tracks right now....
Haven't been hitting the blog circut much lately, life's been really hectic!
Hence why I am loving these tracks to chill me out and take it down a notch or two!

Tin Pan Orange

I saw these amazing artists a few weeks ago supporting Mamma Kin at the Loft... such an awesome gig. Emily had me completely mesmorised with her astoundingly beautiful presence, she's one of those artists that I could not take my eyes off! Her voice is so lovely and the music these guys produce is simply lovely! take a listen to the clip below, pretty cool vid... I like it, hope you enjoy!

Doorway | Aleesha Dibbs

Dibbsy is an AMAZING artist... pianist extrodinaire, all round awesomely creative creature, has one of the SICKEST wardrobes I have ever seen and her sojourn at the Treehouse was way too short for my liking!!!! Fresh out of the oven, her new single from the forthcoming album The Truth About Fiction, I give you Doorway!
Sit back press play and enjoy the dreamy talent dripping journey this vid takes you on!

Doorway | Produced by Nathan Lewis

Dub be Good to Me

Beats International featuring Lindy Layton 1990 smash hit that spent 13 weeks in the charts... and one of my all time favourite songs!
By golly gosh though, wasn't easy finding this clip.
SOS originally did this track, recently slaughtered by Karmah and has been remixed that many times it is not funny! This particular track though is my favourite, and in my humble opinion, the best arrangement, interpretation and production of and oldie but definately a goodie!
Check out Lindy's dancing... soooooooooo 90's just like the leggings and sneakers, with the oversized button down shirt and wayyyyyyy too much bling! it's hard to comprehend that the 90's could actually come back into style in the next few years considering how bad it was!!! haha I'm sure someone will throw a spin on the 90's stylings and rep it radically! One thing is for sure though.... that ain't gunna be me!

Drool Fest #2

Dave Grohl is a legend, though I am sure i don't need to tell you that!
He's cheeky, he's inked up, bearded and a complete babe, he has such a great track record when it comes to his career and keeping his nose clean. Dedicated to the music he makes and delivering the live experience of that music to his fans has meant an 18yr stretch of full time touring... not a mean feat for any rock star in any era if you ask me!
You're a bloody ripsnorter Dave... I love your work and can't wait to snatch n grab myself a copy of the Fooy's greatest hits album being released soon!!!!
These images are shot by Paolo Kudacki, not a bad photog either!!! Keep your eyes peeled for some more of Paolo's work on coming posts...
