Micheal Gira. He was in the band Swans. His solo stuff is really nice and he's quite funny, too.

Bonnie Prince Billy. He's got a sound similar to Band of Horses, but more twangy, I feel. He's fun to listen to for a change.

Will Oldham. Similar sound to the previous two. Some of his stuff is more instrumental, which I like. Check out his song "Emmaneul." It may be a little hard to find.

For a change of sound, check out the Cold War Kids. Great sound.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Cool sound, very catchy. Sounds like: Jesu, Jesus and Mary Chain, but a little softer, in my opinion

White Rabbits. Kind of sound like MGMT, but less MGMT if you catch my drift. They maybe sound a little like Vampire Weekend as well. Just check them out, though. I feel like they'd be a good band to listen to over summer.


Other artists to check out that are always a good listen:

Elliott Smith, Chris Garneau, Misfits, Band of Horses, Bon Iver, UGK, Mos Def, Crystal Castles, Bloc Party, etc. etc.




Location: Outside under a tree where there is a slight breeze. Maybe move up onto a porch once it gets later.
Drink: Anything cold, really. Ice cold, I mean. Something that will quench your thirst.
Clothing item: Hat, specifically a Fedora. But only if you look good in them, which I don't.
City: Some place warm, but not like, nasty hot, humid weather. Stay away from that shit.
Companion (s): Good friends, good food, good books
Things to leave behind: Watches or anything that tells time.

Art.

I know I've posted a lot about art lately and not much else, but I guess I'm just starting to become even more interested in it than ever before. Which is good, I suppose. Anyways, I am just finishing my project class this week and I'm really anxious to see how my piece turns out.

My teacher,  Aaron McIntosh, has been super nice and very informative throughout the course of the class, and everything he has said just makes me much more interested in Crafts and Fibers than I ever thought I'd be. 

He's a really cool guy and an even better artist. Check out his work, it's all really awesome.

Art.

Real quick, I just wanted to mention two artists that I just recently learned about. They're pretty awesome and I feel like everyone should know about them. 

Ann Hamilton - crazy good at everything she does. Some of her work is sort of creepy, in the sense that it reminds me of ghosts and horror flicks, but nevertheless, she excels in her work. 

Sheila Pepe - I don't know much about her, other than the fact that her focus is mainly with fibers. She creates these massive ropes and bindings which act as installation pieces and they're very bold and interesting. I'm taking a project class at the moment for Crafts and Material Studies with a focus on Fibers and I'm hoping to create something inspired by her work, for my project.






Mood: Anxious/Inspired.
Location: Studio.
Needs: Money and materials.

Things To Do: Buy a city bike and fix it up.

Food: Vegan Cheese Pizza.

Music.

Chris Garneau.

I downloaded one of his albums (Music for Tourists) off some music blog a few months ago and just recently, I've been listening to him a lot. His music is sort of a mix of folk, indie, pop, and carnival music. He's got a really good sound going, and I definitely think he's worth checking out. I don't remember what blog I got it from, so I'll just post a link to hypem.com which will probably lead you to a blog where you can download it. 

All the songs off this album are really good, but Blue Suede Shoes is probably my favorite at the moment. 

Mood: Relaxed.

Drink: Arizona Green Tea.

Movie: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (which can now be watched on vimeo)!

Location: Comfy bed.

Wants/Needs: Cuddling time and a cuddle buddy.

People.

I adore these girls.








Music: Feist.
Food: Naked Drink.
Hot Item: Posh leather handbag, flowy blouse, and skinny jeans.
