VANISHED

Now its over, You've taken your life
The dark grows thin and I'm left to hide
I don't regret it but its sad anyway
Now were both dead and scared of the black
This life of games and diligent trust
It's the things we do or the things we must
I'm now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust.

VAN SHE

"Your lips taste the same but I don't know you"

“Well that song has such a nice vibe to it and the

harmonies in the lah lah lah section are so warm

and care free, then it drops into that beautiful

tube/tape sounding guitar which leaves you in this

gap of contemplation and you just sit there with

your headphones on going ” laaa lalaaalala “.

We also chose it because a lot of people i know

think the song is quite gothic and proggy, which

it is due to blue oysters style, but i also think

the song is very amazing lyrically and beautiful

and i guess it didn’t feel like it totally comes

across in their version unless you read the lyrics.

So i thought we could do a version that sounded

like what we interpreted the lyrics to be…

romantic and deep and uplifting as well. We love

the song a lot as well which also had something to

do with it.” – Van She

PHOENIX

FRIDAY

MARCH 5th

FESTIVAL HALL!

I've never been so damn excited in my entire life

to finally see Phoenix live. Even if I died

(touch wood) the next day I know I would have died

the happiest women alive. Here are my three

favourite the most modern and popular... 1901

Lisztomania & Fences! <3

CHIDDY BANG

"I once was kid, with all the other kids"

Many thanks to Toby for introducing me to this

track. Such fun! Weeeew!

WE HAVE BAND

WHAOOOOO!

The amount of time and effort they put into

making these videos is incredible... Although I'm

definitely freaked by the moving googley eyes and

painted talking mouths. As for the second video

I was intrigued in the first 2 seconds, Cleverly

lighting up different parts of the body for

every beat! Trippy kewl...

MIKA

"Blame it on me or blame it on you"

I remember this song was Europes biggest hit a

few years ago when I went on a trip overseas.

Every radio station would have it playing

easily every time I turned it on. You name it,

it was there... TV, designer shops, markets

even churches! Well maybe not churches but

seriously it was everywhere. I remember when I

was on the back of a zooming vespa screaming

till my lungs bled and all my cousin responded

with was 'Relax, Take it easy' Cmon he wasn't

even Australian! Anyway, my point is that this

song by the wild, fun, peculiar MIKA makes you

feel so free just perfect for setting a content/

rejuvenated mood :)

ALI LOVE

"The first one was the best but went way too fast

You keep your options open your love wont last

The picture lost distinction along the way

Now all thats left to look at is a hollow frame

And now my mind burns, When will I change?

When will I ever learn?"

Seriously, I have no idea who this dude is and

what other songs he makes, if they are good bad

crap or whack. All I know is that this song here

is without a doubt one of my favourite songs and

has been on repeat ever since we first met!

Mainly because of the way the lyrics instantly

captured me, his vocals with a slow backdrop beat

and then out of nowhere some energizing synths!

It really had me questioning so many things and it

still does. I even dig the 'dye poured in water'

effect they have going on in this video. So great!

HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT

THE TEENAGERS

One experience, Two perspectives...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

There's a strange pain in my heart

Beats in time like the sun

FRESH OUT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PILLOW FIGHT

THE SWISS

So I came across these guys somewhere in hiding and

I'm more than glad that I did because they are

seriously so incredible. This remix of Magic by

Ladyhawke is my favourite, so nice I could listen

for days.

EARTH, WIND, FIRE

Do you remember, the 21st night of September?

Greatest remix of September by the amazing 70's

funk band Earth, Wind, Fire. Such an energizing

spirit lifting, way hyped song!

Here is one of their originals Let's Groove. They

sure as hell chose the perfect name for it because

that's exactly what it makes you wanna do. With

it's ridiculously funky feel and catchy lyrics!

Honestly all I can say is I wish I brought up in

this disco era ahhh!

BELONG

Typical 80's Aerobic/Jazz dressed women, who do

they think they are? I'm definitely convinced they

have the wrong vibe going on here, they should be

in a "wannabe groove" clip instead. I guess I could

maybe get used to it however in the mean time this

song for me brings such a flying feel to it that it

seems someone is reaching out to to someone spesh.

I love it, again a song that has this soothing

ability to lengthen your inner self.

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

"You've been acting awful tough lately,

smoking a lot of cigarettes lately,

but inside you're just a little baby..."

This is quite an old track which has was always in

my most played list. Gee I must have really liked

it back in the day, come to think of it i still do

enjoy it now. Starsmith's version has more of a

calming feel to it that you could simply doze away

into and venture off into this enormous thinking

field. The lyrics are really honest, relatable and

comforting in an odd kind of way.
