The Next Chapter

I haven't posted in awhile because 1) I tend to procrastinate and 2) I've been moving from Indianapolis back home to Grand Rapids, Mich. There has been so much to do in the past few weeks that I've barely had a minute to breathe, but I'm finally starting to settle in after my first official week living in G.R. after 7 years. Weird.

Moving back home at 25 wasn't really what I had planned, but I've learned a lot in the past few  years that sometimes it's best not to make plans -- you have no idea where you're going to end up anyways!

So for now, I'm excited to spend more time with my family, my friends from home, trying new things (like hot yoga!) and enjoying each day.

Now, just for fun, here are a few tracks I've been listening to lately. Set your speakers to STUNNED.


Chromeo -- Bonafied Lovin'
Ignore the creepy video; I really like this song. I like the "Riot in Belgium Remix" the best but can't find it on YouTube.

Anya Marina -- Satellite Heart
Okay, I give everyone permission to make fun of me after this video. Not only do I have a creepy 1995 version of SIMS above, but this one is part of the New Mood soundtrack. I fully understand how lame I am. And I'm okay with it.

Cults -- You Know What I Mean
Hopefully this song will let me end this post on a high note.

Listen to this: Metric

I pretty much love indie music, and I love Canada, so it only makes sense that I love Metric from Toronto. I haven't heard that much of them in the States besides on Pandora, but they are very popular with our neighbors to the North. The band's chords have a fuzzy sound similar to the Silversun Pickups and vocalist Emily Haines gives the band a unique flavor.


Their current single is "Help I'm Alive" on their Fantasies album. Other songs to check out are: "Gimme Sympathy," "Stadium Love" and "Gold Guns Girls." Oh and for your Twihards, their song "All Yours" was on the Eclipse movie.
