Ok so school is finally donezo so therefore I can resume back my blogger duties:) and what a better way to start of my first blog post in a while then to post music since this blog is kind of my YouTube channel/music/random writing blog.
OK so we all know Pete Doherty from the photographs with him and my idol, Kate Moss doing what appeared to be a cocaine like substance and we also know him from dating that train wreck Amy Winehouse!! Unfortunately, he is known for what he does outside of work then his actual musical talents which kinda sucks. We shouldn't judge entertainers by what they do in their personal lives. Their jobs are to give us quality acting,singing dancing etc. I don't know why people change their opinions on them once they find out about their personal lives.YES Amy Winehouse is a talented women I'm not going to remove her songs from my ipod because of whatever she does at home. Its none of my business as an "enertainment consumer" to judge what people do outside of entertainment.
With that being said I give you the poetic Pete Doherty. You can feel the "sad" in his songs and guitar playing. There is something very Paul McCartney (make because he is English also hahah)/Dylan about him.I don't mean that they sound alike just something about him reminds me of those too I don't know why. If you like that you hear check out Pete's old band the Libetines, his new band the Babyshambles or his solo stuff my just searching his name. BOK CHOY AND ENJOY
ooh and this song really isnt about his ex fiance, Kate Moss, can you guess the real meaning??
Lately I've been feeling like a need to change.I dont know what exactly I wanna change, but I know something needs to change. I feel this urgent need to move to Cali, L.A as a matter of fact. Yes I know the born and raised New York girl movin to the west coast which is basically considered a sin here in NYC, but I feel there is something out there for me. I told my mom that Im thinking about dedicating my life to music on the car ride home from bestbuy and her response wasnt exactly what I've been hoping for. Because there wasnt a response at all. She just said my vocal voice is getting better.So I guess I have her blessing...
ALSO
Apart of this change is my apperance. I wanna be pretty. And please dont leave me one of those"But Angie you are soo pretty" comments because I wont believe you for
1.) You're my friend and you are being nice
2.)For pity
and I want NEITHER!!!
I've been getting into makeup alot lately to well make up for what Im lacking. Dont you believe the word"make up" is a dis in itself? Beacause you are making up for the beauty you dont have.
I was once one of those gals who wouldnt care abt makeup and I thought I was better off without it,but now my self esteem is going back to that dark place it was in high school.AND I CANT GO BACK THERE AGAIN!
But how else can I fix these feeling unless I work towards a prettier me which means being less low maitainence and bobby pinning my hair back as my go to look for school and actually style it. And perhaps to wear more makeup besides mascara,lipgloss and liquid eyeliner.
soundtrack to my life right now::: ofcourse it is.... I have the lyrics posted below beceause Jewel is more then a singer she's a poet and she herself even said its important for the listener to pay attn to her lyrics (or she said something like that dont quote me!!)and to unbderstand her art you really have to read the lyrics
Lyrics : a man stands in the doorway like a small child angry fists she lies in her bed her head buried in her pillow she stares at the moon he speaks to her all the words she's heard too many times before and pretty soon she just lets his voice fade away she thinks this was a gradual steel frost that started with cold feet but ended with numb hearts it was once satisfying sex, but now no longer is it was once filled with all the possibilities of new china or old stone but now it's exaggerated and water-logged no longer what these hands had intended and still I cry in my sleep
he always said I was too sensitive but I say, at least I never meant to make him cry at least I never meant to make him hurt that way no, I never meant to make him cry I never meant to make you hurt that way
yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but he takes pleasure in my pain yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but he takes pleasure in my pain
and the unheard hours they fly by, she goes to the window puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair he's already asleep by the time she goes to lay back down she thinks, my god, what I am doing here
her bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his grey eyes and I feel that if I were to stay one more night here I'd die, or explode, or worse yet, just fade away he always said I was too sensitive if I dared to care so much, the world could kill me that way I wonder if he's only half alive or if he simply has always been this inarticulate
but I say, at least I never meant to make him cry at least I never meant to make him hurt that way no, I never meant to make him cry I never meant to make him hurt that way
yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but he takes pleasure in my pain yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but he takes pleasure in my pain
she gets out of bed and looks at her feet as though they were the wings for her freedom she gets up and goes to the drawer it's a moment in which anything can happen instead she gets out some clothing, puts them in a bag and leaves him sleeping while she heads for the door
Ok so right now Im working on my"bucket list" so far i have about 25 things written but I want to get atleast 50 or 100 so I just saved the post but it is yet to be published so in the meanwhile Ima just blog about music. I been listening to CocoRosie for about 2 years now.Their voice and style is really orginal and this one song "Terrible Angels" stuck with me so go and listen....
its been forevr since I been on this bitch, I've been hella busy with school and shiz but now im on winter vacation I can resume to blog :) Ive been getting alot of ppl telling me to blog again and I dont want an angry audience,no buena. OK so my inner Cruehead has been growing alot lately, been jamming to them like everyday. Mick Mars in particular caught my cat eye. He is the quiet and weird guitar player(who is very underatted btw he should be up there with slash and hendrix no lie & I'm not the only Cruehead to say this) so to prove my point Ima show you how good my boy is :) This is his solo from Merry Go Round one of My fav Motley Crue songs :)))
ohh and he is also the hottest guy ever he is the 3rd one with the long hair and beer can my kinda guy :)) Unfortunatly he suffers from A.S. a degenerative bone disease the pic below is when he was younger .He can no longer move his neck from left to right ,it has left him stiff. But, he is still playing music and has been touring with Motley for Cruefest which I will save money and go to one of these fkn days.
ohh and watch this video fast foward to 2:00 u get to hear more guitar playing hear his voice which I find soothing for some reason and at the end he makes a wierd joke and has the most cutest laugh lol
So LOVE LOVE Jewel,Her music is so powerful I mean you have to listen to the lyrics and the meaning behind her songs.All of her songs I believe are actual life experiences. I highly recommend you all to listen to her first album 'Pieces of You'
If I can write songs and/or play guitar like she does I can say I accomplished a major goal in my life.
Anywho Ima post these two videos from her 'Pieces of You' album.Lets play a little game: Tell me what you think these songs are about otherwise their meanings and since Im a major Jewel fan I might know the meaning if not then go to google, but dont go to google until you make a guess on your own :) But living in a world Of Lady Gaga's we sometimes forget real song writing, thank God atleast we have Adele This song is very powerful prepare to get some tissue because It might make you cry once you know what it is about:( TITLE:EMILY
listen to the lyrics again ppl!!!! TITLE:MEMOIRS OF A HOUSEWIFE
So Im in love with this band slowly slipping their way up to my top 5!!(Another brooklyn based band I like whats up with that??) Anywho this song is from their news album Vecktamist which came out this summer and I devoured it as soon as it came out, but for all of you who are still listening to old g.bear you guys gotta deff check out the new albummm AMMMAAAAZINNGGGG!!!
Its been a while since I heard good music and I'm totally obsessed right n ow with this new band callled First Aid Kit . Two twin sister I believe from Sweden, both at the very humble age of 18 and 15 I believe dont quote me :) Btw, the guitar skills are quite amazing, maybe if I practce more I can hope to be this good and the vocals are melodic and simple. Tegan and Sara eat you heart out.
This is a cover from Indie-Folk band Fleet Foxes which was my first time hearing them, as I was Youtube searching some Fleet Foxes music and I came across them.Breathtaking.
This is their original song "Our Own Pretty Ways" which is pretty amazing as well. Bok Choy and Enjoy.
This is so beautiful that its hauunting. Cant stop listening to the song on my zune/watching the video on youtube. All of their shows soldout so I missed out on my chance to see them play in Williamsburg last week. :(
