the classic 'all-about-music' post

i decided to do a post on music. music is my release, i listen to such a wide variety.  i encourage you to take a moment and let these artists change your life as they have changed mine.

it is impossible for me to state my all time favorite bands/ musicians, but i can say without hesitation the clash is at the top of the list. 


wavves is incredible. their lyrics and messages are meaningful and equally humorous.


i recently got into the paper kites, i will be seeing them in a few weeks down in allston, ma. they have a singer-songwriter vibe but still are considered alt rock.


i took this picture earlier this year of grouplove. grouplove is a fantastic group with fantastic energy. their music video for "ways to go" always puts me in a good mood.


as an old school favorite, ween takes the gold. they are absolutely remarkable, entertaining, humorous, and beautiful. 

i also am a huge supporter to deftones, the pixies, james vincent mcmorrow, sarah jaffe, alt-j, sunset rubdown.

as a band to watch id recommend little daylight. i saw them open for the neighbourhood early summer and I'm still addicted to their sound. 

im glad to share my favorites, if you have any to recommend id love to hear them!

a day at the mfa

i spent the day with my boyfriend's mother at the museum of fine arts, we had a delightful time.  


my favorite section of the museum is the european paintings. i could stare at renoir's Dancing with Renoir for hours. i also love looking at picasso's masterpieces. my favorite work of his is the Girl with the Yellow Hair which i was fortunate enough to see last summer at the guggenheim in nyc. 


the mfa was featuring an exhibit on rembrandt's etchings pressed from hand-carved bronze plates (all printed during his lifetime). it was definitely a sight, id be lying if i said i didn't shed a tear or two. 


artistic geniuses inspire me. i feel the need to take out my paints and lock myself out of the house.
 life it too beautiful to leave it unnoticed, art is my way of appreciating it.
