song of the month: may 2013

I watched The Great Gatsby yesterday. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of Baz Luhrmann BUT Romeo + Juliet is one of the few physical DVDs I own (and rewatch). That should count for something, right? I also really dig the soundtrack to this movie.


I thought it was amazing- the costumes, the acting, everything. Unlike most people on the internet, I LOVED the soundtrack. I was smiling throughout the film and the music definitely contributed to keeping my face looking like I'm on happy meds.

I've chosen Lana's Young & Beautiful (orchestral version) as song of the month. If you haven't watched the movie yet, please do so soon!

Song of the Month: February 2012

I've decided to start a new feature on my blog to help me remember to actually blog. Originally, it was going to be Song of the Week, but then I laughed and laughed and changed it to month.

The artist I've chosen in this month of February is the lovely Lana Del Rey. I didn't choose her because it's almost Valentines Day* and all her songs are about love.** I chose her because I actually enjoy her music. She seems to be generating quite a lot of hatred towards her though, which kinda makes me like her more, haha. I have her album and listen to 4 songs on repeat: Born To Die, Blue Jeans, Radio and of course, Video Games. I just really like her voice. Granted, she can't really sing live, but neither can many pop stars, so fuck you.***

So without further ado, here is my song of the month:

*call it "V Day" and I'll think "Vagina Day".
**this only occurred to me now, I swear. I AM NOT LYING.
***a bit dramatic & crass, but I'm in a ragin' mood so whatevs.
