I Just Might Explode

the civil wars.

I had the delightful pleasure of attending The Civil Wars show last night at the Egyptian Theatre with my friends Brenna and Emi. It was beautiful. I would say it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. I was blown away by their sheer talent and it was so fun to watch them because their joy was so evident in what they do. 

You should definitely pick up their free live album off of Noise Trade and buy their beautiful music.

mhhhmm.

I saw this on Tumblr and I just had to share. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are so... magnetic... I just love this performance.  It totally turned my mood around and I'm listening to it over and over again while I dance around in my dorm room. 

New York Autumn

I promised Genevieve awhile back that I would make a summer playlist. And then summer came and went and now it's autumn. I just painted my fingernails all different colors and am wearing my favorite pair of skinny jeans. It's chilly enough for a cardigan and scarf, and oh... How that makes me happy.

So here is my playlist!

The above lyrics on that art journal page are from Diane Birch. I discovered her music this summer, listened to a few songs, and decided not to listen again until fall because she sounds so autumn-y to me. It's so perfect.

She also reminds me of Carol King. I have this distinct memory of a sleepover I had my sister and her friend and my mom waking up to a Carol King CD. Which involved my mom dancing to "I Feel the Earth Move" in the kitchen. My mother is a hoot. Embarrassing then(okay, still embarrassing), but one of my favorite people now.

Isn't Diane adorable?

Plus, this was NBD.

Another autumn-sounding dame is the lovely Basia Bulat.

I've been known to put her songs on repeat.

I also have never listened to Arcade Fire until their newest album and I'm sorta in lust.

Hope you enjoy the mix and find yourself a hot drink and someone cute to snuggle with!
