music video of the day: "When A Fire Starts To Burn" by Disclosure

​When a fire starts to burn, right? And it starts to spread...

This jam though. It's hot right? It's sizzling. 

​I'm taking it easy tonight but damn does this make me want to go out.  Perhaps instead I'll just play their much anticipated debut album Settle so so so loud and dance around on my own Robyn styles or whatnot. Great album name too eh? It's like "lol guess I'll settle for this?" but it's also like "OI SETTLE MATE SETTLE!" So not going to settle down though. Not when there's tunes like these banging. 

ps. My recap + photos from their last Toronto show

music video of the day: "Grown Up" by Danny Brown

Because I fell off my bike and chipped a tooth. ​Going for a Danny Brown look. 
Love this song. Love this video. Love lil Danny Brown.

music video of the day: "What Love Is Made Of" by Katy B

​Makes me wanna go for a ride and I don't even drive. 
While we sit and wait for a new Katy B album, I recommend her Danger EP.

music video of the (yesterday and to)day: "Bubble Butt" by Major Lazer

​Featuring Bruno Mars, 2 Chainz, Tyga & Mystic. Directed by Eric Wareheim (of Tim & Eric) so obviously it's all kinds of crazy. There are SO MANY bootys + a hilarious opening with a trio of Tumblresqe #seapunk ladiez. Too insane. 

Incase you missed it, here's a link to my review ​and photos of Major Lazer's last TO show.

music video of the day: "Step" by Vampire Weekend

​Because everyone keeps telling me that I need to give the new Vampire Weekend album Modern Vampires of the City ​a listen. Guess I better get on that... Then again, they haven't released a music video for a track off said album yet, so this lyrics video ft. New York (suiting as I'm still chilling in NY) will have to do for now. 

music video of the day: "Summer Song" by YACHT

​Tonight we paint the city.

Happy DFA Day!

I've run away to NY for DFA's 12 year anniversary tonight.  ​I'm way too excited. To understand, just watch the amazing mini doc above Too Old To Be New, Too New To Be Classic. ​It's narrated by comedy grumpy dad Marc Maron and is a cool recap of the cool label's 12 year history.

​Did I mention how stoked I am for tonight? I'm so going to dance myself clean. 

on repeat: "Horoscope" by LIZ

​Mad Decent has a new LA princess on their roster and her name is LIZ. The LA blonde bombshell is basically a yung Mandy Moore 2.0. The free download above titled Horoscope has a bit of a Janet Jackson familiarity to it, which is always a good thing. Grab it an enjoy. 

music video of the day: "Feels Real" by Shit Robot

​Friday fun time packing tunes. Off to run away/adventure in the am.
This is happening. 

music video of the day: "Take My Hand" by Charli XCX

I'll admit that up until very recently I kind of hated this girl, but the more I hear the more her hipster pop is starting to crawl under my skin in a good way. Sometimes you just gotta give in to the sugar right? ​Take her Backstreet Boys cover below for example. It's not ironic. It's just fun. Hate if you want, but it's much ore fun to enjoy. 

music video of the day: "Holy Roller" by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

I used to listen to so much Thao & Mirah. It's been awhile since I check in on what Thao Nguyen has been up to and (no surprise) she's still killing it. Her fifth album We the Common dropped earlier this year. ​Enjoy the single above. 

Modjo's "Lady" & Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You"//The xx & Jessie Ware

I so approve of this cover. ​"Lady" mashed up with "Music Sounds Better With You" is a rad enough combo alone but with Jessie Ware and The xx covering it?! Just. So. Good. 

​Fun Fact: Stardust is a side project of Thomas Bangalter AKA one half of Daft Punk.

music video of the day: "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" by Action Bronson

A list of things I'd like to do with Action Bronson (some of which take place in this video) ...

• ​BBQ it up
• Eat steaks off a gold plate, stoned listening to Cold Play​
• Play basketball while RiFF RAFF drops weird knowledge 
• Braid his beard
• ​Go Jeep riding
• Brunch ​
• Eat a cake shaped like his face
• Freestyle in an ice cream truck

music video of the day: "7/4 Shoreline" by Broken Social Scene

See you in the park/meet you by the beach. BBQs and fireworks ahoy!
​Happy Victoria Day internet. 

music video of the (yester)day: "Best of Friends" by Palma Violets

Because friends 4eva right?
But really, this song is the kindest form of friendzoning. 

music video of the day: "Tears Dry On Their Own" by Amy Winehouse

​Keeping it classic. 

music video of the day: "Spa Day" by Le1f

Freaky Friday y'alllll! ​
Le1f is fab as heck (as per usual) and the Heems cameos in this make me happy. 
TIP: Turn this one way up the next time you treat yo self

music video of the day: "Tonight Again" by Decades

Toronto based melodramatic indie pop gentlemen Decades release their debut record with White Girl Records tonight at the Garrison. ​Fellow Toronto locals Breeze (band members from BELIEFS, Great Bloomers, Hot Hot Heat and more) are opening. Also on the bill is the oh so chill dreamy Elsa (another Torontonian) and Montreal fuzz indie rock act CTZNSHP​. See you there? 

music video of the day: "Fall For You" by Young Galaxy

Montreal natives pulling through. ​

music video of the day: "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" by Kendrick Lamar

​This is the second time I've seen someone be baptized in booze. Does that make it a thing?
