Jillian's Current Favorites, a playlist by Jillian Kaltman on Spotify

Updated several times weekly, this is a collection of those songs that speak to my soul right now. My go-to genres are often Alternative & Indie, but you'll still find a diverse mix here. Enjoy and share the love!

Heyo, Tumblr squad. It’s been a century or two, but I wanted to drop by and let you know that I still continue to share music with dear ones like yourselves via Spotify. Follow my Favorites playlist for a fresh supply of jams (updated weekly!). 

Love & Blessings,

Jillian

I've never been much of a local band lass, but the dudes of SHMNS have truly changed the game for me. Enjoy Secret Shores by SHMNS (my personal fave) You can download their music HERE and follow them on TUMBLR! Oh! Let's search for the rising sun Where the ocean meets with the sand She felt it in her mind In the middle of July Reflected in eyes Was the color of the skies And if I'd know what I know now Of the beauty and the world around me And If I'd know what I know now An illusion projected lucid And if I'd know I lost myself In the question on my depression And if I'd known what I know now Just let the music help you through This time my mind is fine This time I'm fine My minds alive! And that I'm feeling around my body Is all the I'm seeing all in mind? Oh! Oh! I know it well Oh! Oh! I want to yell! Like love in the spring! I'll go and I'll sing! Love like in the spring! I'll go and I'll sing!

I've definitely earned the title of most inconsistent music blogger in the Tumblrsphere, but perhaps I can redeem myself over time. I keep saying I'm starting up the blog again and then flake out, but I promise that I will really try to get back into the bloggin' grind and post at least every other day in the weeks to come. I return to you with a song that's my favorite of the moment...The Struggle by Grizfolk. The band's name perfectly reflects their electro-folk sound.

I haven't done a theme week for months and months now, so let's kick it off again. I depart for a week-and-a-half-long international journey on Wednesday, but I'll queue up a sick playlist for you fine folks. 

THEME WEEK! HERE WE GO HERE WE GO   ~*~*~*~*~ cue pouring of confetti and special appearance by that killer mariachi band from Dora the Explorer ~*~*~*~

The Theme for this week is: Floating  On a cloud. In a hot air balloon. On your bed with your headphones on. My job this week is to get you floating, and I promise I won't let you down (pun intended).

This song should do the trick. We'll start with A tout a l'heure by Bibio

Just don't be too alarmed when you find yourself floating off of the ground.

You will very likely have this on repeat after your first listen and/or will wake up to this song each morning for the next 96+ hours. 

The Family Crest- Love Don't Go

I also recently & randomly crossed paths with a male model who was the saxophonist on their track "Brittle Bones." Fate is weird sometimes.

magnificence magnificencia 壯麗 heerlikheid prakt 素晴らしさ μεγαλοπρέπεια ความงดงาม magnificenza Pracht פאר Old Fears by Satchmode karilagan veličanstvenost пишність mikilfenglegt  بویتا pompa komeus מאַגניפיסענסע veličastnost magnificentia

Yes, I did just spent a decent amount of time looking up various translations of the word "magnificence" (even in the language of song). However, to describe today's song as magnificent is still an understatement. FREE DOWNLOAD & A MUST-WATCH MUSIC VID

This was my first idle weekend of the whole semester, so I devoted a lot of time to maxin' relaxin' and stalking the hell out of talented musicians (no shame, as my eardrums are grateful). I managed to become fixated on the sultry sounds of Sean Lennon and his ladylove, Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Together, they are (not only the most adorable couple on the block but also) The Ghost of A Saber Toothed Tiger , and tonight's song is Jardin du Luxembourg.

Check out a live performance here from France that's très magnifique and a snippet of their love story here.

Also, I luh this [via Wikipedia]: "Charlotte hadn’t even heard 'Strawberry Fields Forever' when I met her," Lennon said. "And she knew nothing about my mum. Her parents thought I was just a delinquent, by virtue of association with the famous hippie delinquents. So it was nice because it was like a bridging of gaps and a collision of galaxies."

Yo. I'm really back now. I'm done with the tomfoolery. 

Please forgive me for my centuries of absence. Life is surely a whirlwind of adventures, beautiful encounters, mishaps, lessons... As most of us learn, when we lose touch with some things, we become more in-touch with other things, and I've been hella out-of-touch with this lovely music blog. However, I've still been taking regular dives into the music scene, and now I'm resurfacing to float around and share the underwater treasures with you lovely people. I've missed talking to all of you and hearing about your lives, so feel free to shoot me messages galore and fill me in on everything.

We'll start with this one.

X Ambassadors- Unconsolable I hope we stay Thick as thieves, butter and bread Pillars of colonial homes  And I wish I could shout you out False start Don't get your cane caught in the cracks Buckle your seatbelts, polluting the airwaves Single and lonely And you say you are Unconsolable  And you say you are And you say you are Unconsolable Uncontrollable Come up to my house Drink with my friends You can lay on my couch Aching to start all over again We going back to your room But wait a minute it's my room Was it something I said? Was it something I said? And you say you are Unconsolable  And you say you are And you say you are Unconsolable Uncontrollable Come up to my house Drink with my friends You can lay on my couch Aching to start all over again We going back to your room But wait a minute it's my room Throwing up on my bed Was it something I said? I said I hope we stay Thick as thieves, butter and bread Pillars of colonial homes  And I wish I could shout you out False start Don't get your cane caught in the cracks Buckle your seatbelts, polluting the airwaves Single and lonely And you say you are Unconsolable  And you say you are And you say you are Unconsolable Uncontrollable

Their new album, Melophobia, drops on October 8th. It's going to be f#@!ing amazing. Brace yourselves.
