Threads, Tunes and Tips

Aren't I just the indie hub of the universe! Not quite, more like a filter, similar to one in a pool that gets out all the gross stuff and only lets through the pristine!

Anywho, lets see what's on the docket this morning!

Tobacco - Six Royal Vipers

This song is addictive. It makes you feel like you've been beamed up onto a space ship and hit with electromagnetism (Poor poor smokey...). It's a mix of psychedelics, pop, and dreamy hiphop. Can you imagine such a thing? I've figured out how to link things properly now!! Woo!

Parlovr - Pen to the Paper

I'm starting to think that the majority of the indie bands I like have too many similar characteristics. They all sounds different to me, but I find I'm using the same bands to describe them. This song, Parlovr (pronounced parlour) reminds me of what would happen if you through Phoenix, Broken Social Scene and Two Hours Traffic in a blender and than drank it with a shot of wheatgrass. It's lovely and sounds fantastic.

Shape of the Earth - Alone in This

Similar sounding to most male indie musicians, Gavin Bascom's solo project has serious heart. This song itself isn't amazingly fantastic or mind blowing musically but the lyrics are why I decided to post this song.

The soundtrack for the movie - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Okay, okay. So I could be risking my entire reputation by putting this on here but whatever. I'm a twi-hard and I'm proud of that. Vampires' aren't really my thing, never have been. However, sexy pale English men are definitely my thing. Love the English... Mmmm. Okay R-Patz aside, this sound track is amazing. Available for full stream at the link above, this album which I'm definitely buying, samples artists such as Metric, Vampire Weekend, Muse, Florence + the Machine, Sia and The Black Keys. I mean, how much better can you get than that? I'm not quite sure but it's awesome. So far, my favourite song has to be a song by UNKLE (feat. The Black Angels) called With You In My Head. It's catchy and just cool yet kind of dark at the same time. The digital download of the album comes with 4 bonus tracks too. Do it. Do it.

Ok. Outfit of the day - I love it even more than yesterday's though I still think I looked cuter yesterday. Perhaps more well rested? Not sure. Check it out!

Ugh... okay mini rant. This is the only thing I hate about H&M. I bought a high waisted skirt, off white, big redish pink roses and black leaves, adorbs. I try and find it online and you can't find a damn thing on that website. Bah. Anywho, I paired it with a black tank top and a little white sweater and my black flats with a big pearl necklace. Cute cute cute.

Finally Water Tip of the Day #2:

Don't always believe the box when you cook! It only takes about 1.5 litres of water to cook just under 500g of pasta where as most instructions usually tell you to add 4-6 litres. Since so many people eat pasta (about a million kg per year), the water saved could equal about a million litres!
