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…

Monica is…doing it all again.
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…
Monica is…big planes & sharks.
Krysten Ritter is deliciously addicting. Getting her start as a model, starring in tons of movies & TV (breaking bad, gossip girls, 27 dresses) & now in her own band Ex Vivian, Krysten fills my ipod with music happiness. Her style is quirky, retro & edgy all wrapped in one. Her pairings of girlie skirts & combat boots, remind me of the days when I used to wear floral overall-rompers & my wood heeled Sketchers (when they actually only made boots!). The grungy 90’s seemed just like yesterday…
Monica is…maybe so, maybe no.
I’m a tad obsessed with Mayer Hawthorne right now, DJ turned soul singer. I love that he has this nerdy guy persona with a sick voice! This “Mayer Hawthorne Project” started off as a joke amongst friends & family & is now being turned into a full length album due out Sept. 9th. He’s coming to the Roxy in Los Angeles, can’t wait!
at the roxy sept 10th
