Song of the Day: Big Jet Plane-Angus And Julia Stone

This song can be described in one word: lovely. The lyrics are very happy (a strange phenomenon in current music), but something about his voice gives very sad, lost-love vibes...but it is nonetheless extremely sweet and sentimental.

Venessa Arizaga

Usually for a post title I use a song quote or try to think of a semi-creative--not really, actually just usually an alliteration--but right now I can't think of anything better than Venessa Arizaga.

Before being quickly shooed away by my "stay on message"-saying father, I glimpsed her jewelry at Opening Ceremony the other day, but just that glimpse was enough to get me...well, enamored! I am trying extremely hard right now to not to revert back into my 1o year-old self and just write 'her stuff is soooooooo pretty!!!!!' But really, it just is that beautiful; a unique combination of found object-like charms, friendships bracelets, and tribal/folk/voodish art inspired elements.

Song of the Day: Killing the Blues-Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

I'm sorry, I know I have been away quite awhile--due to finals--but rather then make some long-winded apologetic explanatory post, I'm just jumping right back into it, with this beautiful song.

I'm really not sure that there is anything I love more then the combination of TWO wonderful things into ONE, especially in the case of musicians. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are one of the best examples of this matrimony of talent and the music they made together is so wonderful, Killing the Blues being my favourite.
