I don't know much about this band, other than they are opening up for Incubus tomorrow at Usana. I like what I'm hearing so far.
The Duke Spirit-The Step and The Walk
Oh and if you're not going to Incubus tomorrow...BOO YOU! haha. This will be the the 6th or 7th time I have seen Brandon and the boys live and I am amazed everytime.

What I'm Listening To Today
I love, love, LOVE my pick for this week. They are playing a show tonight at Kilby Court at 7pm. You should go, fo real. I think this song is super sexy!
AND here is what Heather has to say about her pick this week:
So not sure if any of you know but I do have my own blog but to be honest it sucks and I hardly ever post on it. Kylee’s is better so I’ll post on hers on occasion. My pick for this week would’ve been hip hop because Mija has been addicted to it for the last few days. I’m not even sure why but U92 has been playing in my car if I’m not listening to my Ipod but in the words of Kylee “gaaaayyyyyyyyy haha sheesh” so I’m not going with hip hop. But maybe your fingers could accidentally look up Dolla’s “Heartbreak Collision”. Funny thing about it is a couple months ago my mom came walking in all serious and says “Dolla was killed last night” with a heartbroken look on her face. She’s obsessed with celebrity news and whatnot and thought I knew who he was. My mom is more with it than me when it comes to useless gossip. She even says cray cray ok? I’m just sayin’. Ahem, back to business. A song I’ve been obsessed with for the last couple weeks is by Calexico/Iron & Wine and it’s called “He lays in the reins”. It’s very relaxing, country-esque, and has a dude singing en espanol. What more could you want from a song? Also I’d like to mention that Iron & Wine will be playing at the Twilight Concert Series at the Gallivan Center on August 20th. Sadly I’m sure it’ll be so packed that you won’t actually SEE them but hearing them should do. Hope you like. :)
ok Heather, here is your Dolla. Haha holla fo a Dolla!
and here is "He Lays in the Reins"

Oh sheesh.
Well I haven't posted in a while, kinda because I'm lazy, kinda because I'm busy, and kinda because I didn't wanna! Today is going to be a jumble of things.
Summer has officially started and I am already having so much fun. Our pool opened on Memorial Day and we have basically been there everyday since. Goooood times. Pride is this weekend and I am super excited! I am finally 21, surrounded by a good solid group of friends, and ready to paint the town rainbow! Not only that, but I feel that equality is coming, I see it and feel it all around me. Yesterday, New Hampshire became the 6th state to legalize gay marriage. Yeah yeah, 6 down, 44 to go, but it's progress!! I really feel like Pride this year is going to be amazing! Friday we are going to the white party at the Paper Moon. I've always heard so much about it and I am SO excited to be going finally. No Sound this year, thank Buddah. Sometimes I just can't handle it! Saturday I'm not sure what we're doing but no matter what, I know I'll be with my baby girl and that's most important! Sunday is the parade and I think it'll be the best one yet! Obviously Manda and I will be there with our gays but we've got a bunch of straight supporters coming out this year too, including Heather, Jaymee (and Gianna) and Jes! I am SO excited about that. Also, I may or may not be in a rainbow toga. Look out for pictures!
Also coming up is Manda and my 1 year official anniversary. Holy shit. This has been one of the greatest years of my life and the 6 months leading up to it were amazing as well! I am very lucky to have found someone as compassionate as her. She moves me, she inspires me, and she constantly keeps a smile on my face. I am always happy with her. And that is an amazing feeling. She truly makes me proud and no doubt I will be keeping that in mind this weekend.
So I will leave you with a few songs I've been listening to a lot lately. I hope you enjoy : )
City And Colour-Hello, I'm in Delaware. I want to throw Dallas Green in the air and punch him, that's how much I love him. He's a very talented musician and I can't stop listening!
Manchester Orchestra-Wolves at Night. I LOVE this song so much. I really dig this band. Andy Hull sounds a lot like Brian Molko of Placebo to me, maybe that's what first caught my attention. But I really like their sound and am enjoying finding my favorites!
Kings of Leon-Revelry. This song is seriously SO amazing. KOL are one of my favorites of all time and I just cannot say enough about this song. It's so soothing and beautiful and has some GREAT lyrics. If you haven't put Only By The Night on your iPod, it's high time you do so.
Coheed and Cambria-God Send Conspirator. This one is not new by any means, it's been my favorite song by Coheed for years. I'm finally getting back into reading the Armory Wars and trying to understand the story that Claudio is trying to tell so I've been listening to them a lot more. And by the way, the Neverender concert series was AMAZING and I believe the DVD is available for purchase on Amazon...just sayin ; ) P.S. am I the only one that loves when Claudio pulls his hair back?! <3

What I'm Listening To Today
Hi. My name is Kylee, and I'm an addict. (Hi Kylee) I cannot stop listening to Lady Gaga's Poker Face. I've listened to probably EVERY version on YouTube. So I am going to share with you a few of my favorites.
And, because I've been watching Chelsea Lately ALL the days of my life, enjoy!
What...a whirlwind!

Stop it storm!
I have a few videoes for you to watch. One of them is being completely serious. The other is a parody.
You guys, these people are really serious about what they're saying. And that really scares me.
Here is a parody made by a few celebrities. It's people like this that make my heart smile. : )

What I'm Listening To Today
I'm getting an early start! : ) That's mostly because I've had in mind what I wanted to put on here since the beginning of the week!
My pick this week is called Waiting by City and Colour. Yeah, I don't know why the spell it with a 'u' either, but whatever. This song and pretty much this whole album reminds me of last summer. I have my sister to thank for this. This song is WAY emo, I do realize that. But I think it's a pretty powerful song with some way good lyrics.
Guess what? I'm throwing in a bonus. Here is Dallas Green (of Alexisonfire and City and Colour) covering Neil Young's Cowgirl in the Sand.
How are you NOT in love with this song?

What I'm Listening To Today
Did you miss me? I thought not : )
Today I thought I'd do another sort of theme. I'm going with slow songs, sad and sappy alike, that are on the playlist I fall asleep to.
Who loves the movie La Bamba? I do. A lot. I remember watching it when I was little and ALL of the music on the soundtrack reminds me of being in East Carbon in the summertime. Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny will always spark up those memories. It's such a pretty song. The guitar literally sounds like it's crying. There've been covers/adaptions by some of my favorite bands like The Deftones(so way good!!), Modest Mouse, and My Morning Jacket. I suggest you check out these other versions as well. My sister requests that this be played at her funeral and I will do my best to honor that wish.
This is a song my buddy Isaac introduced me to last summer. It's called Leave by Glen Hansard. Or Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Or the Swell Season. Whatever. It's an awesome song with a lot of emotion.
Note: There is a cover on youtube of this by a guy with the screen name of anaker00. LISTEN TO IT.
Speaking of Glen...haha ok, not funny? I had to! Ahem, this next song is called Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller. This song is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Such a relaxing and to me, melencholy song. If I close my eyes I can see young men being called to WWII (Glenn Miller actually died in the service), hugging their sweethearts goodbye one last time, and heading off to fight for their country. Cheesy? YES! But it's a romantic thought, don't you think? Listen to this song, think about it, and get back to me. Oh, also, I request that this be played at my funeral. Oh, and pps, check out Santo and Johnny's version of this!
Next up is Neon Bible by the Arcade Fire. I actually have all of my Arcade Fire albums on my sleeping playlist. Because how could you not? This reminds me of when Manda and I first started sleeping in the same bed. We used to listen to a lot of these guys, The Good Life, and Bright Eyes. Good times : ) She gets credit for this one for sure!
My next pick is on the soundtrack of one of my favorite movies, Blow. Which would explain the video. Remember Nikka Costa? Her song 'Like A Feather' was used in some kind of a commercial. Killer beat. Anyway, I never heard anything else from her and actually didn't even know she was the one singing Push and Pull on the end credits of Blow until about a year later.
Here is a live version of my next pick. I don't have to say anything at all for it. Here it is. Absolutely breath taking, in my opinion. Radiohead-Idioteque
I can remember the first time I heard my last song for today. I was in photography in high school and had my friends headphones on. This song SO explained how I was feeling at the time. (hurt myself again today and the worst part is there is no one else to blame...high school girls are so dramatic, right? ha!) I'm definitly not lost like I was back then, but I still appreciate good music! Here is Sia-Breathe Me.
There it is, hope you all enjoyed! : )
