The Soundtrack Life

My name is Jamie Nicole. I'm 28-years-old. This blog initially started as a journalism class project in 2012. But now I'm using it as a medium for all my past and future adventures, the music I love, my friends, my family, and everything in between. Any personal photos are copyrighted, anything else is linked and credited to the OP and/or source.

A little video I did for Mountiewire.com about a local collective called Bridgetown D.I.Y. in La Puente, Calif. featuring Charlie Siren and Save the Swim Team.

A new life!

THE SOUNDTRACK LIFE is being revamped, y'all.

This blog was originally created as part of my journalism class in 2012. But now, I will now use it as a medium for my past and future adventures (especially in music), my friends, my family, and everything in between. But it will all have a common theme: music.

Music has been the most substantial part of my life, like many of you, and I find that most of my greatest and memorial adventures had music in its core, and it's something I want to share with all of you.

One big thing coming up is that I'm heading out on the road with my friends in The Maxies, Suburban Legends, and Reel Big Fish this January as I work the mech booth on the "Don't Stop Skankin' Tour 2014" and I'm going to post my adventures and photos on here for all of you guys.

More to come!

I can’t help being moved by almost every single version of The Rainbow Connection. Let’s start with the man… uh… frog himself, plus the awesome Debbie Harry.

BREAKING NEWS: Disco Queen Donna Summer succumbs to Cancer

Another tragic day in the music world as it was announced that Donna Summer, the voice of "Last Dance" and other disco hits, has died this morning at the age of 63 due to her battle with Cancer.

I don't care who you are: a punk rock kid from NYC, a country boy from Alabama, or a CEO of a huge company....you know her music. You had one of her songs stuck in your head. You can't deny it: it was catchy, danceable, and fun. Not to mention Ms. Summer can sing like no one else. She is undeniably the Queen of Disco.

R.I.P.

RANDOM VIDEO OF THE DAY

"Super Rad" by The Aquabats

The Aquabats are petty much the best band in the universe. They save the world AND they play kick ass music.

...and yes, that IS Travis Barker. He may be Travis to you, but he will forever be the Baron Von Tito!

On April 28th, 2012, I had the pleasure of heading to Henderson, NV to attend VIVA SKA VEGAS. It featured bands such as ska pioneers THE SKATALITES, The AQUABATS!, MU330, VOODOO GLOW SKULLS, MONKEY, MY SUPERHERO, GOGO13, and more.

Here are my pictures I took for TNN Radio. Enjoy!

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY

Tesla Boy - "Spirit of the Night"

Who knew Russians could party? Well, apparently Russia's New Wave/Synthpop TESLA BOY wants everyone to know this.

This was brought to my attention after I posted on the Facebook that I wanted some new music, in the style of dance/rock. And thanks to my friend Jack, I am now exposed to Tesla Boy. Thanks Jack!
