Pony Anarchy Magazine


My favourite online magazine read Pony Anarchy has finally released their seventh issue. Filled with beautiful photography and illustration this issue is amazing, the magazine get bigger and better with every issue. I do hope that one day they release it in print (I am more partial to be able to feel -and smell- books and magazines). But for now I will continue to read the online goodness here!

I should also mention that the editor is the very talented Kristie Webster, who is about my age. When seeing people like her and athletes in their late teens and early twenties win gold medals at the Olympics really make me feel like I have achieved nothing in my nineteen years! I do hope I continue onto something great like these amazing people! 


I guess that since this is a Monday, I should post something musically- last Friday I purchased Two Door Cinema Club's latest album Beacon and the Vaccines' Come of Age. Both are amazing and definitely didn't have that whole second album disaster thing. I highly recommend you go out and buy them!

I'm really loving Band of Skulls' latest album Sweet Sour at the moment- bring on the heavy guitars!

The Jezabels- 'Endless Summer'


This film clip has probably been out a couple of months but I had to post it because it is such a lovely story and I love just about everything in a period setting. The song is lovely too, I was lucky to see The Jezabels live at the Big Day Out (they were amazing, even though I weren't very close to the stage compared to every other act I saw).

Boy & Bear- Feeding Line


Hello!
Welcome to another Music Monday! Today, I'm going to post a clip that is a little old (well, last year so not that old, but still), called Feeding Line by Boy & Bear. If you're Australian you've probably heard it, and if not than I don't know! But I decided to choose a song from one of the acts that I saw at the Big Day Out in Adelaide on Friday.
Apart from being a great song, I really love the old style of the film clip (the styling, etc.) and the chandeliers! So beautiful! And they were great on Friday!
Hope you had a lovely weekend, I had a busy one for once- driving back from Adelaide on Saturday then attending my grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary lunch on Sunday. xx

'Somebody The I Used To Know'- Gotye


Hello!
With Australia Day been and gone I thought that it is only just to feature the winner of the Triple J Hottest 100 countdown, Gotye! Well, I suppose this is a boring post for most of you, because it is so popular and therefore was everywhere! However, I also think the film clip is amazing- I love stop motion, and it also feature art, win! Not to mention the song is addictive and Aussie :)
Enjoy!

Love Love Love- Avalanche City


Happy Monday!
Well, I know that this film clip is a little old- but it's super cute! It's for the song 'Love Love Love' by New Zealand band, Avalanche City and the video was directed and produced by Josh Smith. I love the song, it's so peaceful and beautiful. And the film clip is gorgeous, not only does it look great (I love the collage feel to it, and layered paper) but it has a lovely storyline too.
I love the paper tree forest!
Enjoy!

Triple J Hottest 100

Welcome to my first ever Music Mondays post! I'm excited!

I thought it's only fitting since the voting closes today, to share who I voted for in this years Triple J Hottest 100. For any non-Australian readers Triple J is a popular current music channel that people seem to either love or hate (I love it!).  It plays a lot of Australian music, as well as bands and musicians like Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, etc. rather than the likes of Katy Perry, Rihanna, etc.
And every year Triple J does the Hottest 100 where readers vote for their favourite songs which begins a countdown, which is done on Australia Day.

Here is my list:
The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala- Arctic Monkeys
Lonely Boy- The Black Keys
Shuffle- Bombay Bicycle Club
Under Cover of Darkness- The Strokes
Honey- Papa vs. Pretty
Pumped Up Kids (cover from Like a Version)- Owl Eyes
Call It What You Want- Foster the People
Money- The Drums
Is It Me- The Kooks
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N- Noah and the Whale

Who did you vote for? I would love to hear!

I submitted my votes a couple of weeks ago, but I wish I did it more recently because last Tuesday I went to see Arctic Monkeys in Adelaide, and Miles Kane supported them and I've been hooked ever since! It's a pity you can't vote twice! So it's a mistake I will learn from, and hopefully not repeat next year!
Since, I've mentioned it, I will have to say that the concert was amazing! It's my first ever (that wasn't a comedy show or the Wiggles). So, I'm really glad and lucky to have seen my favourite band first. They were fantastic, and really into the performance too! They also invited Miles Kane back on stage to perform 505 and Little Illusion Machine (my current favourite). I really enjoyed it, and I would recommend anyone to go (even if you're not that familiar with their music, I think they have the power to   convert anyone live!)

Sorry about the super long blog with heaps of writing!
Well, I hope you had an awesome weekend! xx

PS. What do you think of the look of my new blog? I'm still not completely happy, but I like it better now.
