1983, 90's, monicais, music, my so-called life, the incredible moses leroy, the softlightes 1983
perhaps because this was the year of my birth, 1983 from the softlightes (formally the incredible moses leroy), is my song of the moment. it’s insanely addicting & the perfect song to play amidst the los angeles clouds. (umm, rain in july!) i’ve been ridiculously nostalgic for the 80′s & 90′s, exploring the old things i used to love & hate…i miss my old doc martens, but i don’t my floral skorts…yikes…
its all random…

Aside from the usual obsessions I have (fashion, blah, blah), I love graphic design imagery. I think it’s one of the most interesting & complicated forms of art out there. When it’s good (because everyone wants to be an “artist”) it’s actually really beautiful. There is so much layering involved in just one image & quite frankly it’s mind blowing especially if your work is Scott Hansen’s. His images have that uncanny, sleepy vintage look that reminds me of Sofia Coppola’s Virgin Suicides haze. Piece after piece is stunning & rich with colors, pretty enough to framed. Bonus*— Scott makes music too, under the name Tycho & his song Coastal Break is the perfect anthem for driving on a typical LA day!
the haze in Lost*… still one of my favorite movies of all time
Monica is…doing it all again.

corinne bailey rae, corinne bailey rae i'd do it all again, corinne bailey rae the sea, monicais, music
Since the song’s release, Corinne Bailey Rae’s I’d Do It Again has been filling my ears with melodic sugar. It’s a haunting, beautiful song off her new release The Sea. She’s been in seclusion for almost two years, since her husbands death in 2008 from an apparent drug overdose. The song set, layered with grief, anger, & hope make this a somber, but memorable record. One I can’t get enough of…especially this one…
Monica is…in the Sainthood.

I have been listening to the new Tegan & Sara album Sainthood nonstop for two weeks straight & can’t get enough! Supremely melodic & extremely addicting, it’s easily my new favorite album right now. Check out a performance of them on Conan…
