Must I remind you? Today's #MUSICMONDAY !!!
If you do nothing else I say, at least go and get yourself the Beach House Daytrotter session. Simply register on daytrotter.com then download away. There are four free songs there for you to gobble up. I think you'll freakin' love Take Care & Used To Be. Please trust me. They're haunting, emotional and gorgeous.

Want more? Urban Outfitters continues to grace us with FIVE song downloads each week in glorious celebration of #musicmonday... Here's that.

So as I was saying, the German went to Vegas and all I got were these brilliant plaid platforms...  OMG I love them more and more as each second passes. Trimmed in studded patent leather, featuring a plaid heel and a bright pink lacquered sole, classic Betsey. Danke!

And what gets a girl through the grayest Monday ever?
Why sequins of course. Never let anyone try and convince you otherwise. Sequin covered ANYthing brings you this intense joy and high-shine edge. Merci @kris_1 for this FAB H&M cropped sequin jacket. It's so LOVE.

Oh speaking of love, CANNOT wrap my brain around it being February already. Hope you all had awesome weekends.

Remember to live in THIS MOMENT. Yes, THIS ONE.

love,

short and bitter sweet

today has gotten away from me and that hasn't allowed for quality thought regarding today's blog and for that i am sorry.

i will not leave you high and dry though. i will instead guide you to a couple music sites i love.

FILTER MAGAZINE

it's a great resource for music. new music. bands touring. new albums. new VIDEOS. reviews. the occasional free download and just over all, sound opinions on sound. near the top right of the site is a field in which you can type your email address and get weekly newsletters. totally up to you. i get it. i like it.

the second site... is, wow, quite cool. in their own words:

"We’re going to give you something that you truly have never heard. We are not giving you songs from someone you love’s record album, thereby stealing from someone you love. We’re giving you exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favorite bands and by a lot of your next favorite bands."

that's right kids, free music galore, recordings you can get no where else, of awesome bands that stop in their studios and record their old stuff in new ways and often times record new stuff not out on a album yet. radical right? :-) Meet daytrotter.com i think you're going to become great friends. check the "sessions archive" for their complete catalog.

OH OH OH one last thing, heard a song on XM by an artist called Julian Plenti on my drive in to work. sounded SO familar. here's why, love Interpol? their singer, in case you weren't aware, Paul Banks has got a side thing going on. and said side thing's new album came out TODAY. don't want to commit to the entire thing? sign up for the mailing list on Julian Plenti's website and get a download FREE. awesome, no? here you go: julian plenti is... skyscraper

questions? ask me. not so bitter after all, no? 'til tomorrow...

love,

sunlovey
