Much Love Monday: January 9, 2012

Happy (belated) Monday :)

I can't stop listening to these dreamy indie pop, stargaze, shoegaze albums:


Junica, Over The Atlantic, Psychic Powers (Wellington musician Nik Brinkman's musical projects) have become the soundtrack to my life living overseas for the last three years. It's my Kevin Shields in Lost In Translation.














I'm absolutely thrilled frontman Nik is pumping out all of these new songs, and I don't care if I sound like a nerdy fangirl. :) I miss being excited about music and seeing live bands.



And hell yes to an At The Drive In reunion! When I was 18, Jade put this song on a mixed tape for me. Classic. The first time I hung out with Ash we listened to Relationship of Command driving around Vegas at about 2 in the morning. It was the year 2001.

Esme you would have loved this. <3

Fly To The States

It's been a crazy day and crazy week. Medical emergencies (not me), heavy work volumes, projects due and deadlines looming. In order to cheer myself up, I booked my trip to visit home in August! YESSSSSSSS. It may have been a bit presumptuous of me, but it had to be done! I miss Las Vegas (and America in general) so damn much. It has crippled my social skills where I just don't connect with anybody. It's something that I struggle with frequently. I'm going through this almost-mid-life crisis, constantly daydreaming about the good old days. In celebration of my trip, I'll have to post some unforgettable Vegas memories.


Chris & I also booked our accomodation for our Wellington trip! Family Cactus and Cut Off Your Hands are playing shows in the capitol city. I'm really happy with that.


This is my favourite band from Wellington singing about flying to the States. So fitting :)

Well, we have a lot to look forward to. We just have to survive through this cold winter.
