#MusicMonday – Amazing

I have loved Aerosmith for many, many years and this song of all them reminds me so much of my cousin. Being 14, and playing this song at top volume, dressing up just to dance around the house as we sipped Oros spiked with very naughty dosings of vodka. Spinning each other around and around, shrieking with laughter, we would usually end up on the ground in a big heap of giggles. That’s how I remember her best – wild, … Read More »

#MusicMonday: 9 Crimes

As a rule, I’m not all that into emo music. When I came across this Damien Rice track the other day, I was bowled over however – I know it’s actually folk or whatever, and it’s rather morbid too but it just gives me goosebumps right down to my toes. Quite a good Monday song too, now that I think about it. The video is pretty amazles too – creepy and weird as it is. Damien Rice – 9 Crimes … Read More »

#MusicMonday: Hide and Seek

I’ve been loving Hide and Seek lately – not sure what it is, maybe I’m slowly getting into Imogen Heap or maybe it’s the goosebump inducing song that has almost no backing track. It’s a beautiful, sad song though, and while it may be a little morbid for Valentine’s Day, this is what I’ve been putting on repeat these past few days. Enjoy! where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form … Read More »

Cool as Ice and the birth of my B Grade obsession

You might not know this, but there is a fine art to B grade. It is a genre in itself almost, and it takes a lot for movies to qualify for proper B grade status. Movies that try too hard to be bad, or horrors that try to be funny just never hit the mark, while movies and horrors that are too good also don’t quite get it right. To be well and truly within the realms of really bad … Read More »

#MusicMonday – Jaded

Ja ja jaded In all it’s misery It will always be what I love And hated And maybe take a ride to the other side We’re thinkin’ of We’ll slip into the velvet glove And be jaded ~ Aerosmith – Jaded Letting go is an amazing feeling. It’s like unlearning all those things we learn from all the bad experiences that change us, making us closed off, jaded and brittle. Releasing all that shit that we carry around, that’s been … Read More »

#MusicMonday: Guns ‘n Roses

I know it’s not November, or raining, but after a beautiful wedding weekend I am in the mood for some good old fashioned G ‘n R style romance. My wedding post is coming up soon, but what I will say is that watching two lovely friends start their life together in one of the most beautiful weddings ever has really changed my jaded outlook on marriage and weddings. It was an emotional day for all of us (not least the … Read More »

Every year, Eminem seems to surprise us with stuff that isn’t just angry, but is also heartbreakingly honest and loaded with emotion. When I heard Space Bound on a Gossip Girl 4 episode today, I was blown away by the song. Still the same angry, raw feelings – still the same obsessive take on love. But somehow, there is something beautiful in these lyrics. Beautiful and oh so sad. Eminem – Space Bound We touch, I feel a rush, we … Read More »

#MusicMonday: Massive Attack – Paradise Circus

There’s a scene in True Blood season 3 where Bill the ‘procurer’ goes into a strip club to procure dinner for Russell, Lorena and himself. If you’re a True Blood fan, you’ll know exactly which scene I mean. It’s a sad, sultry and somehow empty scene, with a stripper who’s given up on life and a vampire who has ended his human life. So it’s rather fitting that Massive Attack is the soundtrack for this little moment. Paradise Circus is … Read More »

Into the night Shadows fall Shadows fall so blue. I cry out I cry out for you. ~ Julee Cruise/Angelo Dadalamenti – Into The Night It wasn’t all bad today. I got some new Essie nail polishes, including this very divine nude/pink tone called ‘Eternal Optimist‘ and a gorgeous dark pinky red shade. But mostly, after a rough weekend, it was a tough day. Too many thoughts, worries and unresolved issues to try and process, and of course, plenty of … Read More »

Growing up, my dad and I seldom saw eye to eye when it came to music. He was of the old skool ‘legend’ generation – blues rock was the be all and end all, and he never got my love for Nirvana or Guns ‘n Roses. Pearl Jam however was another story – this was one of the only bands that we both agreed was teh awesome. He used to have the Vs album, and we both played it to … Read More »
