to binge..

If I didn't love the Gorillaz enough already Coachella just made me love them even more, more than I could imagine. Their whole set at Coachella was great! It was amazing to see the mastermind behind the band, Damon Albarn sing live and with Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon up on the stage with him. In this clip they are performing my favorite track of "Plastic Beach" called "To Binge." The song is so beautiful and relaxing. I don't see how anyone cannot love this song, the lyrics are breathtaking. In my mind I picture 2-D and Noodle singing it to each other, just like how Damon and Yukimi are singing it to each other on stage. This was definitely the highlight of the set for me. And I was so happy when they played their older songs like "Clint Eastwood" & "Feel Good Inc." The whole crowd couldn't help but sing along too. I don't think even one person was not singing along to those two songs. The Gorillaz know how to put on a good show and sound so great live. I read a lot of comments from people criticizing the Gorillaz for being boring & others saying they expected more, I strongly disagree. They delivered and made my Coachella experience complete.

Lovely view from the balcony of the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Beautiful green grass, trees, and bushes in the foreground with clear blue skies, tall buildings in the background. Corrupted by a line of smog flowing through the atmosphere.

Plastic Beach

About a month ago I posted an entry about my excitement for the Gorillaz's new album "Plastic Beach" to be released. And after owning it for quite some time now I have to say that it is simply Brilliant! I listened to it from start to finish and after it was done I had a full appreciation for it. There are so many great songs to dance along with and slower songs that have beautiful lyrics to listen to and a good number of hip-hop tracks. Collaborations with Snoop Dogg to Lou Reed, from Mos Def to Little Dragon, it just shows how many artists wanted to be featured on this album. If you have not listened to "Plastic Beach" yet you're definitely missing out.

I'm falling in love with her all over again...

Yay! Kate Nash's new album "My Best Friend Is You", is going to be released on April 20th less then a month away! I just watched the video for "Doo Wah Doo" and fell in love with it! I remember watching videos on Youtube in early 2009 of her performing "Doo Wah Doo" live and trying to find every possible way to download it, but couldn't cause it had not yet been recorded on a track. She will also be playing at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles on May 11th, which I will definitely try not to miss. It's the only place she'll be playing in California that is a short driving distance for me.

only...

7 days until Gorillaz's new album "Plastic Beach" is released in stores and I'm definitely going to go buy it! I heard a preview for it a couple of nights ago on itunes and i liked it a lot. Definitely going to be worth buying the actual album and not just downloading it from itunes ;)

There is seriously nothing better then waking up in the morning and seeing this adorable face greet me. My puppy is my best friend and he helps me not feel so alone in this world especially when the house is empty and everyone is gone. He always seems to know when I am sad cause he'll calm down from his rambunctious behavior and lay up against me and helps comfort me. He brings a happiness to my life that could not come from something or anyone else. I'm so happy to have him in my life.

Ramblings of a young girl..

"I never knew strong emotions before meeting you,

I never knew a strong pain like it is when I fight with you,

I never knew I could care for someone as much as I care for you,

I never knew there was someone out there me, nor did I know there could ever be

I never knew anyone could look at me like the way you do

I never knew I could say I love you to someone like you

I never knew anything before meeting you

I don't want to know anything else if it doesn't come from you."

just a little something I came up with while sitting i my room. nothing special, just felt like sharing my little poem to the world.
