Coconut Records

Those of you who know me well are probably aware of my negative attitude towards the one-man (band?), Owl City. I just don't see what the big deal about this (band?) is. Plus, it sounds pretty dang similar to The Postal Service (which is one of my favorite bands, so maybe that's why I care so much about not caring about Owl City?)

All this to say, I have discovered a one-man (band!) whose music I majorly enjoy: Coconut Records. This summer I have been exploring my love for Wes Anderson movies as well as Jason Schwartzman, who has been in many of Wes' films (Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and more). I was watching a youtube video in which the actor and director were discussing their favorite music and movies, and Jason mentioned his band. I looked up Coconut Records and FELL IN LOVE. It is currently my favorite band.

Here's some ear candy for you:
West Coast
Minding My Own Business
Any Fun
The Summer

It was so hard to just choose a handful, because all of his songs are amazing! Go check all of them out :)

P.S. I have been blogging a LOT, lately! You're welcome:)

It's that time of year again...

...time to say goodbye to friends leaving for college. This is undoubtedly the worst part of summer for me...and I still have over a month left until I go back to school!



At least this year I have learned to deal with friends leaving more maturely, unlike last August when I had a bawling fit every time one of my friends left. I looked like Dawson up there except 50 times worse. However, my best friend hasn't left yet so there's still time for me to bring on the tears and attractive puffy red face. Stay tuned.

The best time to wear a striped sweater...

...is all the time.

Yesterday I purchased the most expensive item of clothing I've ever bought. Striped unisex sweater, American Apparel, $62, totally worth it.



Also this giraffe necklace (For Love 21, $4.80) :)
