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: May 2012

May is almost over which means that WINTER IS COMING. Of course, most people in Cape Town think winter starts the minute the weather stops being super hot and sunshiney (April). Most people are idiots. It is known.*

This month I decided to go with two songs (again). One is by Fleet Foxes. It makes me quite happy.

 

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

The next one is by Arcade Fire. This one doesn't make me feel happy...but it doesn't make me feel sad either. I can't quite explain.

 

Arcade Fire - Cold Wind

Both of these songs relate to the first paragraph. Can you guess how? I'm so subtle. Also, I'm aware how hipsterful this post is.






*I'm letting you all know that I totes watch Game of Thrones.
