November Fancy Tunes 2015

Happy Wednesday! I know it's a little over half way through the month but I still think it's worth sharing my playlist I've been listening to lately. Lots of new music out this month and I just wrapped up a weekend at Fun Fun Fun Fest where I discovered some great new to me music as well. Enjoy!

July Fancy Tunes 2015

one, two, three, four, five, six

Happy July! As usual, I've got a little playlist for you. I did really bad last month about discovering new music. I think Bonnaroo wore me out. So I took to my facebook (go give it a "like" if you haven't yet) for help and I got a few great suggestions from my cool musically versed friends. I was also pleasantly surprised that this playlist accidentally turned into almost full on girl power mode with the exception of a few. What can I say? Girls rule! Enjoy the tunes.

June Fancy Tunes: Bonnaroo Edition

via

Happy June! I've got a special playlist for you this month. All my favorite jams from artists performing at Bonnaroo this year. Yep, I'm going to Bonnaroo in a couple weeks and I'm so excited about it. The line up is AMAZING. I've never been to this festival and it will also be my first out of town festival I've ever been to. I was actually supposed to go to Bonnaroo back in 2007 but ended up not being able to after having already bought my ticket and everything so 8 years later and I'm ready to go and this time it's happening for real. Some notables I'm most pumped about (that I've never seen before) are Flume, Sbtrkt, My Morning Jacket, Temples, Caribou and of course Billy Joel... kind of epic. I did add a new Lord Huron song on this list even though they won't be at Bonnaroo, I just really love the song. Enjoy the music!

May Fancy Tunes 2015

I didn't explain last month when I did my April Fancy Tunes playlist why I call them "fancy." While you may think it's just because they are tunes and I find them fancy, the word "fancy" has a little bit more meaning to me than just something I like to say or use to describe things. It's actually my nickname. Fancy Pants, but Fancy for short. So, last year when I started creating monthly playlists on my Spotify account I decided to call them "Fancy Tunes." Much more fun than just calling them "April 2015" or "May Playlist 2015" right? So anyway, that's why they are fancy, because they are mine and I am Fancy. Feel free to call me that whenever you see me. I like it.

Now, on to the music. We've got lots of different genres here. I went to Levitation Fest, formerly Austin Psych Fest, this past weekend (where the photo above was taken // so much fun!!) so you'll get some psych rock, but I've also been on a bit of a rap kick lately, so you'll get some of that to, and then even a few pretty mellow tunes... among other things. Enjoy!

April Fancy Tunes 2015

Happy April! This is my favorite month for several reasons but mainly because well, it's my name and also it's my birthday month. So, to start off this glorious month I put together a little playlist with some of the artists I discovered/got to see during SXSW a couple weeks ago since I didn't feature the event on the blog because I am a terrible blogger. Sorry friends. But I do have to say I actually have a whole month of posts lined up. I've started a blog calendar and I'm going to try to stick to it! Also, I'll be working with a new friend on some outfit posts that I can't wait to share with you. Stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the music.

My Favorite Albums of 2014

The other day I did a little reflection about my year as a whole. But, another big part of my year was live music. I went to NINE festivals- SXSW, Jazz Fest, Psych Fest, Free Press Summer Fest, X Games, Float Fest, Utopia Fest, ACL, and Fun Fun Fun Fest (all but one were in Texas) and I'm not sure how many regular live shows (at least 15). It was by far my biggest year of music yet. It was fantastic.

These are my favorite albums that came out this year in no particular order. I was fortunate enough to see 7 out of the 10 live. Pretty awesome and I'm so thankful to live in a city that offers so much great live music every single day. Check out my list and I also put a playlist together with my favorite songs from each album. Oh, and Happy New Year's Eve! I'll talk to ya next year.

1. Odesza* - In Return

2. Sylvan Esso* - Sylvan Esso

3. Glass Animals* - Zaba

4. Ages and Ages - Divisionary

5. Caribou - Our Love

6. alt-J* - This Is All Yours

7. First Aid Kit* - Stay Gold

8. Stars - No One Is Lost

9. Spoon* - They Want My Soul

10. Temples* - Sun Structures

Music Monday- Night Beds

Hey hey, it's Monday. How was your weekend? I spent most of mine working and driving. I had a bridal shower in Houston Saturday so got a bit of a break to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in a while which was great. I'm ready to start this week though. I've got 3 concerts!! A little excessive, I know, but I just can't seem to stay away from the music. My wallet doesn't like it so much, but my wallet doesn't like a lot of the decisions I make... You can't please everyone, you know?

One of the bands I was supposed to be seeing this week is Night Beds. I'm kind of obsessing over them right now. Front man Winston Yellen and his band came out with their debut album, Country Sleep, last year and "Head For The Hills" is a new single they released in January. I'm going to see Lord Huron this week at Emo's and Night Beds was supposed to be the opener, but there was some conflict so they won't be touring with each other anymore. I'm a little bummed but hoping they'll pass through sometime soon. Such chill, feel good music. Listen to this song + the full Country Sleep album. Perfect Monday morning jams.

Music Edition: My Music Monday

Happy Monday! Sorry for the absence last week. I was the busiest I've ever been with work, like for real. It was kind of a nightmare and all a blur at this point. All I had time for was working (LOTS), sleeping when I could (not much), and eating (poorly due to stress)... So now that I've depressed you on a day that's already kinda crumby, let's pep it up, shall we?! Here are a few songs that have been on repeat for me lately. Give them a listen here. I promise they'll make your day even better than I hope it already is! Stay positive. It'll be Friday again before we know it :)

All of Us - Painted Palms
Ends Of The Earth - Lord Huron
Shadow People - Dr. Dog
Don't Tell Me - Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
Byegone- Volcano Choir
I Could Go - Oberhofer
Man-Revolutionary! - Rogue Wave
Dominion - Delorean
Full Moon - Mansions On The Moon
