Teen Dream

Audio-dine (if codine were noise)

Hump day is coming to an end as I relax and let the smooth melodies of El Ten Eleven assure me the rest of the week will go by fast.

And they're right.

On to significance...

Beach House released their third album, Teen Dream on Tuesday. I'm happy to say it's as dangerously beautiful as the rest. (I recommend you listen to the others)

Listening to their music feels like having magical glitter fall from the sky making any moment, whether its washing your mom's laundry, making chalk art, or buying Pall Mall Cigarettes,

truly beautiful.

They played the song Zebra on Jimmy Fallon the other night, and after seeing how flawlessly they performed, I'm sure thousands of Americans we're successfully lassoed by the radiant musical waves expelled through their speakers.

They sound so...warm? majestic? sensual? You call it.

Play-doh is cool again

For those of you that know me, I attend LSU in Baton Rouge, LA...it sucks. However , it's proximity to New Orleans makes up for all the budget cuts, lame frat douche bags, and deteriorating buildings.

As I adventure more and more into the Big Easy, I'll make a list of the dopest shit one can do.

But for now, I'd like to share my experiences from this past weekend.

My favorite local band, Sun Hotel, played a nasty show at the Circle Bar downtown.

Granted, I personally know each member well enough to make them groomsmen in my wedding, seeing them play still gets me giddy like a school girl and is truly an EXPERIENCE.

The harmonies, the raunchy pounding riffs, the beautiful guitar licks dancing in the background, the sexy unique percussion forcing you to sway unknowingly...it's like a spell

Life On A Boat (off Halloween Mean EP) takes you out on the most romantic night of your life and then declines your kiss at the doorstep, making you respect it and want more.

By no means am I an accredited music blogger, but Sun Hotel's musical musk is reminiscent of nothing you've ever been around.

Each song truly sounds like what each song is truly about. Sun Hotel sounds like what Sun Hotel is all about.....

The South. PBR. Beauty. The wind. Getting down. Friendship. America. Skinny Jeans. Weed.

....in no particular order

I Think We Can Do This

Hello all,

I invite you to join me on select adventures through the life of one confused, excited, self-righteous, determined, and attractive 19 year old male.

What do you want out of life?

I want to rock and roll. I want to experience everything except STD's.

I want to make things happen that no one can explain, but not like in Harry Potter.

I'm willing to let you in the oddly wallpapered, surprisingly nice smelling chamber of my soul...just say please.

Let's do some awesome shit...

after we finish our homework.

Let's experience things people wish they could.

Let's write some ballads.

I look forward to changing your life.

I think we can do this.
