Today is Bloemencorso day in Haarlem – totally forgot about it till one of my friends called me last Friday, reminded me that I promised her I would work at her shop. Sooo yea, this weekend’s kinda tough for me but I loved the whole experience. Well, not all – you know, bitching clients and shit like that kinda annoyed me. But hey! lucky I got cool colleagues, they made me happy. mostly.
Anyway, uhm…I know I have been lazy updating my blog but I am pretty committed today. I am gonna write about some amazing musicians whom inspired me on daily basis. Well, focusing on their albums actually. I must admit that my taste is a little bit weird though, I listen from classical to hard rock with a tendency to lean towards the underground/alternative music. But hey! they’re amazing! And you should consider checking them out!
“Far” by Regina Spektor
This chick is freaking genius! If you’re into classical music, you’ll most probably find her music interesting – at least that’s how I got hooked. First time I heard her music was approximately 4 years ago, Hotel Song was the first song that actually made me google bout her(as far as I remember) – anyway, in 2009 she released her 5th album & I totally love it:
“Fantasies” by Metric
Their genre is a combination between Indie Rock and New wave. They sound super amazing – like always giving me colors in my brain whenever I listen to their albums. Their music is super addictive! Seriously, google them, they’re worth it.
“It’s Blitz!” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Please don’t tell me you’ve never heard of em. I mean, they’re like one of the most awesome Indie Rock bands in the universe(according to me of course). I found out about them years ago when they weren’t so well known like now. Still tho, their music is original despite the fact that they’re pretty mainstream nowadays. Anyway, they’re kind of a band you either love or hate I guess – for me, I love their music so much because they write amazing notes that spark my brain with weird lights(sounds crazy I know, but I mean it). In fact, I often listen to their music while designing/drawing, they’re like my brain’s ecstasy.
