When all the clocks are spinning backwards

Hey y'all. Some fun things in my life: I finally got a flickr pro account! This had been something I had wanted for YEARS. All the photos from Australia are up there now. Including adorable animals. I also gave my domain page a facelift. (Heck yeah!) And I renamed my twitter account. And gave my tumblr a new layout. And posted on my sketchblog  ( Read more... )

I love your playlists tbh. I should check out Grace Potter + the Nocturnals, that one song was really, really lovely. And I don't listen to enough female vocalists!

This comment made my day! I posted this and imagined everyone would scoff at the playlist (mostly because of Adele and U2, ha! But I make no apologies for the songs I picked, they're some of the best tracks they've respectively put out). This gives me HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

I might be really into female vocalists, now that you said that. HURM. We should have a trade-off. How about it?

:D! U2, considered scoff-worthy? Le sad. And I've still barely listened Adele but I know she's a legit musician whose talent the entire world just happened to notice, so...

Yeah, female vocalists are kind of a weird thing for me. I've tried making myself listen to them more but I feel like every time I just end up drifting back to dudes with guitars. It might just be that I'm all FORCING it and making into too much of a thing. Like, maybe I can't really get into Marketa Irglova's solo stuff or Laura Marling because I don't like their respective styles! And not because they're women! IDK. But yes. I reallyreallyreally love St. Vincent and Neko Case and Beach House and Patty Griffin and Janelle Monae and Kelly Clarkson. Also: Julie Andrews. Even when she's not singing. ♥

You have definitely named some badass ladiez. You should try some (takes deep breath) more Florence, Marina and the Diamonds, more Tori Amos, some Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill is a classic, but the acoustic version is SUPERB), Sia, Camera Obscura, The Sounds, Metric, Goldfrapp, Kate Nash. See how you go :3

Thanks love! I didn't even put in my favorite lyric from it- "In the garden I was playing the tart / I kissed your lips and broke your heart" - so good
