Phoenix – 1901

Hudson told me about this song months ago. I heard it on the trailer of “New York, I Love You,” and Gregg Gillis included it in his new mix last weekend!

I Conquered Days

Along with this blog project this year, I also began my 43 things adventure. It’s basically a to-do-list of what you want to achieve in life.

On this trip I was able to check off two more things from my list.

  • Go to a huge music festival that isn’t Bumbershoot or that is out of state
  • Fly to visit one of my college friends or a friend away at college

Well, I am satisfied.

New Header – Song of the Day

Happy September!

(almost)

My header, once again shot by Mark Hunter The Cobra Snake, is of one of my favorite idols, Cory Kennedy. There are many reasons why I chose this as my header for September, one being that I brushed up against either HER or her look-a-like last night at the Street Scene Music Festival in San Diego.

September is a month for fresh starts, reinvention. It is always the month that I return to school after spending 3 months of summer anticipating slash scheming about the person I would like to be during the school year.

September is the start of fall, my favorite Seattle music festival Bumbershoot and

dun dun dun…

FASHION WEEK!

today’s song of the day is

Rye Rye ft M.I.A. – Bang

RIP DJ AM

Unfortunately because I was out at the Street Scene Music Festival early this afternoon, I did not hear about DJ AM’s passing until Samantha had texted me about it and when it was reconfirmed during the moment of silence during Chromeo’s set. Like the boys of Chromeo said, DJ AM paved the way for dj’s all over and created a gateway. His presence will be missed, but his memories and his work will never be forgotten.

Street Scene Music Festival Recap

When San Diego parties, they do it up big. This had to be … better than any Capitol Hill Block Party or Bumbershoot I have ever attended. So here are some things I’ve discovered/learned tonight

  • Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk denied me tonight by not giving me a wristband to go on stage with him, and I cried. It’s not that embarassing, I’m just very passionate about some things k?
  • Bands that people should start listening to now: Holy Fuck and Matt and Kim
  • Tonight, some girl denied me from taking her street style photo. That’s a first
  • Southern California boys are very good looking
  • I love San Diego
  • I love this music festival
  • If the rest of the world is dancing to Girl Talk, you should be dancing to Girl Talk too
  • If you get on stage for Girl Talk don’t act like it’s your own personal stage for karaoke.
  • I dance too hard, and then I get danced on
  • A boy in pigtails jumped on both of my feet
