This Weekend:

What We’re Watching: BLACKPINK: The Show

This was a completely last minute decision, but then I remembered that we’re still in a pandemic and what else are we doing Saturday evening? BLACKPINK was the K-pop girl group of my summer! We were more enthused about “How You Like That” than “Ice Cream,” but wasn’t everyone? Having only seen BTS’ online concert, I’m looking forward to another comparison point and a show at a reasonable hour.

What We’re Listening To: The Head and the Heart’s Live Concert at Pike Place Market on Amazon Prime

Okay so I’m cheating because this is sort of what I was watching, but also listening! Somehow, this got me feeling so emotional. Is it obvious that we’re homesick? I remember feeling such FOMO watching my friends down at the market for this set and knowing if I had been in Seattle that I would’ve been there since the morning finding the best spot in the crowd. If you’re looking for an easy watch, I highly recommend.

What We’re Wearing: The Flavr Blue sweatshirt

It has been so cold this week and with on and off rainy/stormy days, I’ve basically been living in cozy wear. This is one of my favorite sweatshirts of all time from a band I previously loved in Seattle. I love wearing this bright blue hue and in an oversize so that it can be paired easily with my leggings. Unfortunately, it’s sold out in their merch store, but luckily for me, this is one sweatshirt I’m never letting go.

What We’re Eating: Macadons

Lunar New Year came a little bit early to us in the form of these darling macarons! After having such a positive experience with [Macadons‘] BTS version, I really wanted to treat myself to another gift set. The flavors come in red bean, egg tart, and white rabbit (my favorite!) We’ll be snacking on these all weekend! Also we’re keeping up with the Seattle theme because Macadons is a Seattle-based bakery!

What We’re Listening To:

spotify:album:0xWfhCMYmaiCXtLOuyPoLF

If you’ve been following me on Twitter recently, then you know that I’ve been having a lot of feels for my previous life within the music industry. 🙁 I think sometimes when my work life gets hard, I like to remind myself that I’ve had different types of harder days before and that things do get better. I’ve been missing Seattle music a lot in recent days so spending my afternoon with one of my favorite albums from The Head and The Heart was a great pick-me-up. I also spent an hour last night compiling a playlist on Spotify of all of my favorite scene music from ages 15-22. Don’t worry, we’ll write about that later. For now, enjoy this album and get a taste of my favorite Seattle sound.

Music Video of the Day

Yesterday, one of my favorite Seattle bands, The Head and The Heart, unveiled their latest music video for their single “Another Story.” Not only does it tell a very sweet story about healing and moving past heartbreak, it also stars Pretty Little Liars’ actress Troian Bellisario.

What do you guys think?

Performance of the Day

I like to keep the streak of blog posting high! I never get tired of this song. I remember posting the SoundCloud track when it first came out, then posting the music video when it was released, and now their in-studio performance with KEXP.

It was a coincidence that I listened to The Head and the Heart this morning while getting ready only to find that by the time I got to work, the band had released a music video for their song “Shake.” Love it. Love this band and miss my Seattle.

The Flavr Blue – Bright Vices EP

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/10759741″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

I know we already posted a Song of the Day for you, but we’ve got a special treat up our sleeve. Today is a HUGE day for Seattle music as The Head and the Heart released their new album and The Flavr Blue released their new EP. I’ve been listening to The Flavr Blue for most of the year and have heard almost all of these tracks performed live this summer, but hearing it off of the EP sounds incredible.

Though we’re located in the Bay, one thing still hasn’t changed. Yow Yow! is still a huge supporter for local Seattle music and we don’t think that’s going to change any time soon. I wanted to make sure that you all had something to listen tomorrow for your Tuesday so here is there entire EP streaming on SoundCloud on Yow Yow!

Morning Soundtrack: The Head and the Heart

Readers, I woke up this morning thinking that I would listen to throwback JoJo albums, but on my newsfeed I stumbled upon a post notifying me that Rolling Stone had released the new Head and the Heart album available for stream! Their album “Let’s Be Still” actually comes out on October 15, but trust – you don’t want to wait until that date to begin listening to it. Every song leaves you wanting a little more and reminds me so much of the place that I call home. Can’t wait to see these guys live in December!

The Head and the Heart – Another Story

They’re the kind of band that when you listen to their songs, you always remember when and where you were the first time you heard them. There are many bands that have come and gone that have made me love Seattle so much more, but the Head and the Heart is one that I hold dear and near to me. I remember listening to “Lost In My Head” for the first time on 107.7 the End on I5 driving into Seattle and screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs. I remember seeing the “Cat and Dogs” music video and not even skipping a beat to post it onto Yow Yow! the day it premiered.

In a couple of months, a few friends and I are going to see them in San Francisco and it will be extremely nice to have a slice of Seattle here with us in the Bay!

The Head and the Heart – Shake

Good morning readers! We’ve been a little distant these past few days, but don’t you worry – we promise this won’t become a habit. The past few days have been littered with news and collaborations and maybe even some news on my end too. Yow Yow! will and always be such a focus for me and a priority and I’m so grateful that all of you continue to visit this blog.

Today’s Song of the Day comes from one of my favorite local bands – The Head and the Heart! This is the first single off of their upcoming album and it’s a pretty good first impression. We can’t wait to hear the rest!
