Music Gal 101

So I've been extremely lazy of late and haven't written any of my "Music Gal 101" posts, when I actually have so much new music on offer!!! Sorry guizzzz!

Anyway, considering this is most likely my last music post of 2013 I thought I would do a quick recap of my favourite songs of 2013!

Jake Bugg - Slumville Sunrise

Vance Joy - Riptide

Bombay Bicycle Club - Carry Me

Rufus - Tonight

Trying To Be Cool - Phoenix

Foals - My Number

Stand Still - Flight Facilities

Mac Demarco - Cooking Up Something Good

Haim - The Wire (Favourite music video of 2013!)

Vampire Weekend - Diane Young

Solange Knowles - Losing You

Daft Punk - Get Lucky

Cat Empire - Steal The Light

Owl Eyes - Closure

Argh don't know how I'm going to narrow this down to 10 for my hottest 100 vote!

Enjoy!

Hey there!!

So today was a day I've been waiting for for a long time, the release of the beautiful Jake Bugg's second studio album "Shangri La" and all expectations were met (thank god). With this thought in mind, I realised how many of my favourite bands/artists have released new successful albums (with the exception of the strokes), so with that in mind, I've chosen the best few albums and the best songs off each album (or two if the album is realllllly good!)

Jake Bugg - Slumville Sunrise - Shangri La

Jake Bugg - Me and You - Shangri La

Vampire Weekend - Diane Young - Modern Vampires of the City

Wavves - Demond to Lean on - Afraid of Heights

Arctic Monkeys - Knee Socks - AM

Snakadaktal - Too Soon - Sleep in the Water

Phoenix - Trying to Be Cool - Bankrupt

Owl Eyes - Closure - Night Swim

The National - Graceless - Trouble Will Find Me

Foals - Bad Habit - Holy Fire

Daft Punk - Get Lucky - Random Access Memories

Seriously, it's been a great year for music! Everyone should go out and buy all these albums, you won't regret it !!!!!!

Peace

The Portrait Series Complete

So, for all you blog regulars, you would have realised that for the past few months I have been taking images of some of the people in my life in order to create my final art piece for my first year at uni. Well I have finally finished these images and am currently creating my hardcover book to which I will be presenting the images in.

So finally, here are all the images together

Nonna Rosa

Nonno Franco

Mitchell Wood

Mrs Salano

Cathy Salano

Georgia Dandolo (myself)

Anne Wight

Alex Zammit

Nonna Theresa 

Don't know why some of the images turned out with a sepia tinge, on the actual prints the are pure black and white.

more portraits for the book

I know I started this book months ago, but I finally have some new images for it, and I'm pretty happy with them!! Would like to get maybe two more people to photograph this weekend, and then book making time! Exciting stuff!!!

OMG okay so last Friday I saw one of my biggest idols ever!!! BEYONCE!!!! This was actually a childhood dream of mine, as a lover of the Austin Powers movies (She's in one, if we all can remember that) and of course a HUUUUUGEEEE Destiny's Child fan from a young age!

Even though Caitlin, Maddy and I were wayyyy back with regards to seating, it was still an amazing concert! It wasn't just a concert, it was more like a massive show! She had so much interaction with her band, dancers and of course the audience, I even shed a few tears at one point (okay three points).

Unfortunately my phone is a massive slut and all the videos I took are all muffled sound, so I'm just going to post some of her amazing songs

Single Ladies

Love on Top

Crazy In Love

Irreplaceable

1 + 1

Beautiful Liar (featuring Shikira)

Say My Name

Survivor (so god damn happy she sang this, and yes this is the first point of the concert where i cried)

Girl

I Was Here - Me and Maddy were both a bit emotional for this song, three amazing singers from my high school sung this in remembrance of a class mate who passed away last year, and it's just so beautiful


This could go on for years, so I'll stop here and cry cause I now have to wait 9357867 years to see her again

Ciao

hey guys!!

I gone and done a photo shoot recently and thought considering I haven't uploaded any of my art recently that I would chuck up some of these pics!!

The theme was "Anti Model", which essentially is girls being "unattractive". With these images, I am making a zine, and I plan to present them on a faux magazine stand, commenting on the issue of women's portrayal in the media
