Groovy

erryday i'm hustlin'

This song can make a white girl feel like a black thug who needs to whip it reeal hard for 4 minutes.. If i had a car i'd be blaring this tune followed by winking to other cars at red lights.

Amsterdam.

I love this song and miss Amsterdam so much.

My Backwards Walk

Personally chosen by Belle & Sebastion to perform at their upcoming 2nd bowlie weekender, the band Frightened Rabbits, have earn’t recognition from the heavy weights of the indie music scene. They bring another great Scottish voice to the industry, my favourite Scot is still my boy Paolo Nutini, but these guys are def making their way up there. With Scott Hutchingson as the bands crux, and founder, Frightened Rabbits most recent album “The Winter of Mixed Drinks”, tells again, more stories of heartbreak, with beautiful voices that contrast the often heavy issues of death, love and life, and though it seems many of the songs protagonist is having a pretty intense breakdown, its still hard to stop listening. Frightened Rabbit have been playing on repeat in my bedroom since I shamefully heard one of their songs on, the (highly addictive) tv series chuck. I soon realised this was the Frightened Rabbits I’d so much about. Having supported Death Cab for Cutie while on tour, and performed on the Jimmy Fallon show, they are slowing showing the world that they are a lot more than just another indie band with husky voices. The lyrics with their slight self deprecating, but endearing nature, makes me feel a bit better about being a little lost me ;).

So here’s the tune that personally got me captured from their 2nd album titled ‘Midnight Organ Fight’, hopefully it gets you as well.

FUCK YEAH HAIR

It's been around for a while now but I am completely obsessed with coloured hair. I don't care how hipster it is I want my hair dyed a really crazy mint/pink/blue ombre colour now!!!

The only problem is.. what it's going to look like when it fades out. I dyed my tips pink about 4 years ago, (coz I cut them trends with a knife) and it faded out to look like fairy floss..

Fashion forward or victim?

Light photography at its best

Just surfing the WWW and came across across a photographer named Ben Matthews. Who is a dentist by day, photographer by night which is diversity for you..
I like the way he's taken something simple such as light photography and turned it into such interesting pictures.

Ridin' Solo with Missy Elliott..

In the past week I have had my fair share of Hip Hop Culture. I started the week off with seeing 'Step up 3d' which catapults you to dreams of living in NYC, being ridiculously good at dancing and rocking kicks 24-7, to a Hip hop class on Saturday where I tried to live out the dream with realisation that I've got a long way to go as a white gurl. This is all in anticipation that Missy Elliott is coming to Sydney in a month. I must prepare!

We started learning a routine to Jason Derulo's 'Riding solo. Side note: There's something sickingly addictive about Jason Derulo's music. It has the effect of making me want to be striding across a dance floor with a microphone.

We learnt quite a lot of steps and I forgot how much fun choreographed dancing is. I may have gotten a dancing trophy in school. It’s not important that it was for 'Most improved'. The whole thing was pretty bad ass right down to the instructor YOLANDA who's advice RE Jason Derulo's 'Riding solo' is "Don't let those rings weigh you down gurls!”

Too true.

There were some amazing dancers even for a beginners class and the whole thing inspired me to get some Hip hop FLAVA and lay-by some kicks. But I think I might wait a few more weeks before I bust out as Honey Daniels.

But I better be quick.. Missy Elliott is playing at Parklife on October 2nd and if I don't have a start to finish choreographed dance to 'I'm really hot' I'll be mad.

Crunk.

such a good cover.. a song you could proper pop and lock to.

Chicken theft

I don't know if its the hangover talking, but this has kept me laughing for 15 minutes. I just keep watching it on repeat.

Our position has been compromised...finally

After a couple of months, unlimited supply of cocktails later, and general frustration with no one reading. A certain member of our two person 'bloog', has compromised our little corner of the world wide web, and we have officially been exposed. While I was content to just sit here, and let only my fellow blooger, read my rants. I guess now,
I'll be addressing readers as well as her. No no, I'm not bitter, so don't get the wrong idea that I resent readers, I'm just being a nervous N******(not ready to say my name just yet) that can still be a little secret. So see this as an official welcome friends. Have a drink, sit down, and enjoy our thoughts. Welcome to two girls one blog, we're (kinda) happy to have you :) xx
