A playlist featuring Twin Peaks, Mac Demarco, The Growlers, and others

TUESDAY TUNES

isoooo i’m back with another addition of some tunes!!

for this past month, i’ve been putting together a playlist of my current favorite songs. these are in no particular order, nor is there really any theme to it. well, except for the fact that these songs are really awesome to jam to, and they make me happy.

1. Fade Away- Twin Peaks

now this is probably one of my favorite songs off of Wild Onion, it’s quite fun to dance around to in my room all by myself. i can definitely tell that Twin Peaks is becoming one of my favorite bands right now and would kill to see them live. if you haven't checked them out yet, give them a listen, they’re TOO good.

2. Freaking Out The Neighborhood- Mac Demarco

this song, at least to me, just sounds different from your normal mac demarco stuff. the little guitar riff (my terms might be off, sorry) that plays through out the song is so addicting, and of course, mac just knows how to make awesome music.

3. Love Test- The Growlers

THIs. SONG. is so good. it’s probably the best love song i’ve ever heard, lyrically. it’s definitely one of those songs that gets stuck in your head, after like, 3 listens. my roomie had been playing it nonstop so of course it made its way into this playlist.

4. Trippy Gum- Hinds

now this song comes from a girl band in madrid!!! which i think is so cool. they have a really nice garage rock sound, but you can still hear their accents when they sing which i think is totally cute.

5. Mallrats (La La La)- The Orwells

like i said, this playlist is strictly fun, so this is one for when i wanna dance around and get my energy up. the rowels are a GREAT band and i actually was able to see them perform this live a couple of weeks ago.

6. I Wanna Dance- Skaters

this is another tune introduced to me by roommate!! i. love. this. song. it’s the kind of song that you can’t listen to without belting out the lyrics. i’ve listened to other stuff from the skaters, and they’re really good. check ‘em out!

7. Beach Porn- The Frights

don’t be frightened by the title, it’s actually just a super catchy love song. i love the kind of songs that are really mellow during the verses, but when the chorus hits, it gets all insane and loud. i would loooovveee to see these guys live, they’re awesome.

8. Irene- Twin Peaks

ahhh, another one. from my favorite band at the moment. this comes from their first record Sunken!! now, they first recorded their stuff using garage band, i think? so the sound quality is definitely telling of that, BUT. it totally completes the album, and makes the songs so much more dreamy and raw and great in general. love this album, and i also love this song.

9. Fired- Tijuana Panthers

once again, another fun song to sing along to. i’ve listened to them here and there on spotify, and i can say that they’ve got a decent sound. this song stuck out to me thought because i think the lyrics are kind of funny.

i’m not sure that a text post will let me add the playlist here, but i will try to add it in a separate post so y’all can give it a listen :-)

enjoy!!

RELATIONSHIPS 101

now it might just be the fact that i’m a relationship virgin (i barely had like one boyfriend in high school), or maybe i’m missing out on a big memo that apparently everyone else received.

in today’s generation for people that are my age, relationships just seem so strange and foreign in my eyes. the way that they are portrayed online and judging from the way people think....i feel as if a lot of people think the way they’re dating someone is super unhealthy...

for instance. this weird fad that seems to be popping up now and again on twitter is being EXTREMELY overprotective. people post conversations with their significant others and basically, the partner is trying to control every single thing the other does. whether it’s the way they dress, their social life, or even interacting with other people, people seem to think it’s “cute” or “goals AF” to be telling your boyfriend/girlfriend what they can and cannot do. it’s quite ridiculous, and i just don’t get it. you like having your bf or gf bossing you around? or acting sexist in certain situations that involve your behavior with others?? why and how is that even the least bit appealing?? because it’s actually super unhealthy and can lead to something very dangerous.

another example would have to be my number one pet peeve. INSECURITIES that are blasted online. now don’t get me wrong, everyone has insecurities, and i also get that it happens within relationships. but why do people feel the need to put everything on twitter/instagram? why do you have the guts to call out your own gf/bf for being so “untrustworthy” online, but you can’t just talk it out like adults? and also, why do you NOT trust someone that you love? why are you committing yourself to a relationship if you think they’re so disloyal? half of the time, people aren’t even being disloyal anyways. social media has just constructed this insecurity with people so that they think liking someone’s IG photo is some sort of hint at flirtation or dishonesty. IT’S DUMB.

like i said, i’ve had one sort-of boyfriend. so there are probably a billion things i just don’t understand about having a serious relationship. i mean, yes i’ve attempted to give decent advice to my friends that are struggling with their bf/gf’s, but honestly, how many of them took the actual advice??

this post kind of became lost because this is more of a rambling of thoughts than something informative/insightful. goodnight. :-)

YUP, DAS ME

for the past couple of days, i’ve been realllllyy thinking about how i want to write this out. especially so that i don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. idk. it’s nothing problematic or anything, i just have a lot of thoughts about my life that i feel like putting into a blog post.

coming from a sort of small town, especially a place like vacaville, moving to a place like san francisco can be kind of a culture shock, ya know? i mean, the culture of the bay area is still very evident, even all the way in the vacaville/fairfield/suisun area, but it’s still moving from sheltered suburbia, to a big, busy city. luckily enough, my parents took any chance to explore the city, which i am so grateful for! i think if i didn’t come to SF so much before moving here, it definitely would have altered my decision in attending SF state.

but back to what i was saying..vacaville, to me, was just so bland. every school year, it was the same thing. i felt like i was surrounded by people that were kind of just stuck in phase and didn't know to get out. does that make sense? probably not. now, i’m totally not trying to perceive myself in a way that i am just oh so different because i wasn’t prom queen, or some weird tumblr-girl crap like that. (because i definitely changed a lot over my high school years haha)

compared to my friends, i knew i was still kind of “”””different””””, but i use that term very lightly because many of the friendships i have made out of vacaville have impacted my life in such positives ways. this is in no way saying that i felt like an outsider, because without a lot of the good friends i had made, i would not be the person that i am today. ANYWAYS. the point i’m trying to get across is that...for the first time ever, i feel like i am 100% myself. in high school, it kind of ranged from like, 83% to 90%. but i think that coming to school in SF, i feel like i am where i want to be for awhile. i have found some great people that have really brought out a lot of me that i was too scared to show in high school. (which is strange bc i’m all about not caring what people think)

moving to a new place, especially like SF, is really scary. it’s different. the people are different. but it’s intriguing. and it’s always moving, so i can never really be bored. i feel as if i decided to attend sonoma instead of sf, things would be extremely different. yeah, it would be really similar to living in vacaville, but i honestly don't know if i would be as happy as i am right now.

if you’re a senior, and you’re trying to decide what your future holds, go with your gut feeling!!! try to steer away from being “too” comfortable, ya know? don’t go somewhere bc it’s where everyone else is going, or because it’s nothing too different from the present. being in a new place is terrifying, yes, but it can bring so much out of you that you might’ve not known existed!!!!!

my rambling is done now. goodnight :-)

xoxo.

TUESDAY TUNES

heeeEEEeeeeeeeEEeyyy y’all. I’m back with another round of some tunes. A lot of this is just suggestions from my friends, and also me just revisiting some ol’ favorites.

I’ve slowly been falling back in love with vampire weekend again. I’ve listened to them since middle school, but I like to go in and out pf phases with certain artists/bands so as of recently, they’re being played nonstop.

1. VAMPIRE WEEKEND

I’ve been going back to their old stuff, especially from Contra. But their more recent album, “Modern Vampires Of The City” is really awesome! It’s slightly different from their other albums, but it’s still Vampire Weekend. Just a little more darker than normal.

FAVES: Step, Ya Hey, Finger Back, and Unbelievers

2. FIDLAR

Thanks to my roommate, I can’t get enough of this band. They’re really different from my normal taste, as I usually would lean more towards indie, pop-ish style...these guys, however, sound a lot more raw and loud. They’re Garage Rock, so anytime I listen to them, I feel entitled to start a mosh pit in my living room.

FAVES: West Coast, Drone, Stupid Decision

3. BEST COAST

I’ve liked these guys for awhile now...in fact I own their vinyl but it’s at home. Some people might label them as boring but I think their sound is super chill and relaxed.

FAVES: Boyfriend, Our Deal

4. GIRLPOOL

Again, my roommate has me hooked on another band. This time, just one specific song, by these lovely ladies. By the time you’re listening to this, the song itself won't leave your head for like 3 days. It also gives me major nostalgia about certain memories. Great tune!!!!

FAVE: As The World Got Big

BE NICE

I have probably owned a twitter account since, what, my freshman year of high school? The use of twitter and instagram has escalated since their birth, but with their popularity came great consequences.

Social media usually has a bad taste to it, because while it can be great for business, promoting music/films/fashion, or whatever, it’s also led to a lot of bullying and bad attitudes as well. In my however many years of using twitter, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much hatred and disgusting behavior before.

Because social media and the internet in general gives us almost a disguise to hide behind, people feel as if their words can’t really hurt anyone if you’re just typing it in a message or a comment. They don’t understand that their actions can’t just be simply justified because they were on their phones or computer.

What people seem to forget is that even if you’re just spewing hateful words out, shit like that can really destroy someone’s confidence and sense of self-worth. Some have thicker skin, but some don’t.

Even when young men or women are trying to build themselves up and feel good, people tear them down immediately. Why? Is it jealousy? Or is just that these people are downright assholes? Sometimes I really can’t tell.

Most of the time I think the people making these choices to bring others down is that somewhere, deep down, there’s this feeling in them that makes them feel insecure. So making others feel like they’re below them is what’s bringing them back up from their own insecurities.

People!!!!! There are many others ways to pick yourself up. Don’t put someone down because in the long run, it’s going to end with bad consequences and the reactions of people can vary. You could possibly be the cause of someone’s suicide.

Promote some positivity. Promote confidence. Promote love. This whole, “I’m totally apathetic and super cool” attitude isn’t cool.

What happened to just being nice?????

TUESDAY TUNES

So since I’ve started living here in SF, I’ve met lots of new friends, which means that some new music has been added into my library.

I thought I would try to incorporate what I’m listening to lately into my blog and come up with a list of what’s been stuck in my head.

I’ve always been the kind of person that just listens to the same band/album over and over, so I’ve been pushing myself to listen to some new stuff! Luckily my roomie and our other friends have helped me out a bit. (she also made me a mix CD which is great because I still think that’s a cool thing to do lmaoo)

Lately I’ve been into a lot indie rock and garage rock, courtesy of my friends suggestions.

No Waves- FIDLAR

This song pertains to the garage rock I mentioned before. Meaning, their sound is a little more raw and not exactly perfect, but it still comes out to sound really great. I love the guitar in the chorus and I can see this never leaving my brain for a long time.

Pizza Party- L’Homme Run

This one is kind of a joke, as the song will probably make you laugh your ass off. If you know who Vampire Weekend is, then you know Ezra Koenig. (the lead singer/guitarist). This was his “rap” group he had with a friend in college and the song itself is literally about a pizza...but it’s also catchy. This was on the mix CD and I can’t stop playing it.

Your Graduation- Modern Baseball

I’m super late on the hype but I’m becoming really fond of this band!! They’re kind of emo-ish/punk, but I listen to anything. Their newest album has a lot of relevancy to it and they’re still kind of new to the scene in terms of popularity.

Hotline Bling- Drake

YES. Of course I’m adding this song because it bumps and Drake never fails to make a hit. This song is played everywhere and I’ll probably get sick of it being overplayed but as of right now, I love it!

Dashboard- Modest Mouse

I know this song is from awhile ago, but this comes from my favorite MM album and I can honestly never get sick of it. Isaac Brock is a lyrical genius. This is just some typical indie rock that I usually listen to but Brock’s voice is super unique which is why I’m so drawn to this band.

xoxo.
