May madness: Mixtape # 3
It's a new month and a new month called for a new mixtape. I've been quite slack with my posts because of school and quite frankly, my own laziness... So hopefully this mix makes up for it. In the month where many people are getting sick and stressed, here's some music to shed some light on it all.

Deeply Saddened.
By the Splendour In The Grass lineup.
Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing lineup including:
The Strokes * Pixies * Ben Harper & Relentless7 * The Temper Trap * Mumford & Sons * Florence and The Machine * Scissor Sisters * Empire of The Sun * The Ting Tings * Band of Horses * Goldfrapp * Wolfmother * Richard Ashcroft & The United Nations of Sound * Grizzly Bear * LCD Soundsystem * Angus & Julia Stone * Hot Chip * Passion Pit * Midnight Juggernauts * Jónsi (of Sigur Ros) * Paul Kelly * Kate Nash * Laura Marling * Fat Freddy’s Drop * Lisa Mitchell * Midlake * The Vines * Black Rebel Motorcycle Club * Broken Social Scene * Tame Impala * The Magic Numbers * K-OS * Operator Please * Bluejuice * Little Red * Ash * The Middle East * Whitley * Yeasayer * Miami Horror * Delphic * We Are Scientists * Foals * Alberta Cross * Surfer Blood * Space Invadas * British India * Miike Snow * Washington * Philadelphia Grand Jury * Clare Bowditch * Band of Skulls * Two Door Cinema Club * The Drums * The Mess Hall * Violent Soho * School of Seven Bells * Last Dinosaurs * John Steel Singers * Yacht Club DJs * Jonathan Boulet * Dan Sultan * Oh Mercy * Cloud Control * Fanfarlo * Boy & Bear * Ernest Ellis * Tijuana Cartel * Frightened Rabbit * The Joy Formidable * Skipping Girl Vinegar * Gypsy and The Cat * Horrorshow * Money For Rope * Tim & Jean
The thing is:
a. I have school and can't miss it due to year 12.
b. On top of the $450 for a ticket i'd have to also buy a ticket for the airfare.
c. I now feel like sobbing uncontrollably
Thanks Queensland for creating the perfect lineup that I cannot attend.

Pick Me up: Mixtape #2
In my endless circle and struggle against procrastination, I decided to make yet another playlist.
This is a playlist that lifts my mood and as the title suggests, is meant to be a pick me up.
Here's the music that makes me feel better:

Tidbits.
-My favourite type of art is surrealism. I quite like Vladimir Kush, Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali.
-My favourite movie is Fight Club but the two movies I can never get sick of are: The Princess Bride & Ever After...obviously I'm a hopeless romantic on the inside...
-I enjoy fantasy battle scenes in movies.
-My favourite animal is the duck.
-I love vintage cars, especially my 1960's orange beetle.

Nostalgia.
This is a photo of me, taken almost a year ago.
It's funny how relationships between people can become so different.
It makes me a little sad to think about how things once were.
But...
It's no use dwelling on the past and thinking of things we cannot change.
