MILEY CYRUS COVERS THE ARCTIC MONKEYS' WHY'D YOU ONLY CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE HIGH

Let's face it, we all know the new Miley is awesome, and this cover of the Arctic Monkeys' Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High can't get much better! I'm not here to lie, I've heard some close-to-horrible covers by her, but this and Jolene are fucking insane!

I'll also add Jolene here, in case anyone's interested to hear it!

WHEN I AM WITH YOU, THERE'S NO PLACE I'D RATHER BE

Wow I just realized my previous post was my first post in 2014! I've seriously been lacking, but all my college work has kept me incredibly busy!
One of my Facebook friends posted this song on her page yesterday, and I must admit, it is pretty damn good! Super catchy, a great beat, and an awesome voice! Also, the video brings me back some great memories of my 7 years in Japan, so thank you Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne for this lovely tune and video, Rather Be. Summer anthem, anyone?

FOSTER THE PEOPLE AND THE MAST DO BROOKLYN

Last week I went to the Music Hall of Williamsburg for my first official concert in the beautiful state of New York since I moved here. I have to say, though I definitely miss Japan, I absolutely love the way the audience behaves here! (No pushing, surf crowding, etc). I am very glad to say there could not have been a better way to start my new life here in the US, as I got to see the amazing Foster the People, and even better, had the lovely pleasure of being introduced to a new band from Brooklyn, The Mast. They looked and sounded incredibly good, and put on a wonderful show.

Check out the link below to expand and please your earbuds with UpUpUp. Here's my new obsession: The Mast.

BEST 2013 MASHUP: THE XX AND BASTILLE'S NO ANGELS

After ranting about my love for Cara Delevingne on my previous post, I started playing around with other songs YouTube suggested me, and it eventually lead me to this. Nothing but the greatest mashup of the year — Bastille's version of TLC's No Scrubs and The XX's Angel posted by none other than the amazing Olivier Duterte, aka The Sound You Need.

CARA DELEVINGNE SINGS SUN DON'T SHINE WITH WILL HEARD

As if Victoria's Secret's model Cara Delevingne wasn't fucking perfect enough already, here's yet another reason to lower your self-esteem. In the video below, she joins Will Heard on an acoustic performance of Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine). Cara, stop being so damn perfect, please. :)

AND I'D SING A SONG THAT'D BE JUST OURS, BUT I SANG THEM ALL TO ANOTHER HEART

I'm so glad I got to drive down to Manhattan for Columbus weekend, I was just about to explode from everything up here. A break much needed, and of course, it's not a break without great music!

Heard this song while I was in the city, and of course I had to SoundHound it! Ha.

I'm absolutely in love and obsessed with Tom Odell now! Here's Another Love, which probably has the most amazing lyrics I have heard in a while.

I TURNED MY BACK AND YOU TURNED TO DUST

Everyone that's ever been in love knows that break ups are not fun.
Don't feel like saying much, just posting this song for future references. Been listening to Keaton Henson nonstop since Sunday, I think Sweetheart, What Have You Done To Us might be my favorite song by him (or at least the one that's made me shed the most tears, that is).

THE ARCTIC MONKEYS COVER DRAKE'S HOLD ON WE'RE GOING HOME

There's nothing like a nice cover, especially when it's done by such a great band like the Arctic Monkeys. (I apologize, but the fact that Alex Turner, the lead singer, is wearing sunglasses and it is clearly not sunny outside makes me love him a little less) — Regardless of that, here is a cover they recently did of Drake's Hold On, We're Going Home.

AND I AM ONLY AS YOUNG AS THE MINUTE IS FULL OF IT

I still have a couple of drafts on a few shows from the past year, including Ed Sheeran, Jake Bugg, and Mumford and Sons which I have been meaning to post…
But for now, since I am sure everyone's heard of Royals by Lorde, i will post my other favorite song by her — Tennis Court. Damn, she's definitely my favorite 16 year old!

… Unlikely, but just in case there's one or two of you that haven't heard Royals yet… Here it is.

MISERY'S THE MOMENT WHEN I LOST YOU, IT'S PLEASURE IN A COSTUME

It's been months since I last posted a song on here, but I just recently heard Andrew Belle's Pieces, and i could not not blog about it. I absolutely love that man, and I am so excited for his new album, Black Bear, to come out tomorrow! Waahoo.
