Northern Irish Indie Alternative Rock

If you don’t know of these guys at this point you probably live under a rock.

Well if you do live under a rock, listen to “Something Good Can Work” and “What You Know” for starters. Tourist History is probably one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. Go there next.

British India with their 2015 single, Suddenly, from the album: Nothing Touches Me. Contrary to what the name suggests, British India, are neither from Britain or India, instead from Melbourne, Australia. 

Daily Routine (9/25/17) - Strawberry Jam

If today could be defined by one thing, it would be music. I spent the majority of the day listening to Spotify while simultaneously catching up on homework. Also, I recently have been reacquainted with my beautiful guitar. I’ve been playing on and off now for the better part of 6 years, with many hiatuses in between. I haven’t play since at least over 6 months ago, but for the past 3 days now I have consistently been playing. 

I want to not only become proficient in guitar again, but also play live. I’ve only ever been in a band once and we only played live once, but that doesn’t deter me in slightest. Going to the house show last week and becoming more in touch with the local music scene have inspired me to find people to jam with and hopefully play live shows. It’s always been a dream of mine to be part of a successful band. I want to get started on it now. 

So today I changed her strings. The new high E string snapped when I was tightening the peg, which was quite the bitch because it was the last string for me to change. Luckily I had a few extra packets of strings, but now I have a packet without the high E string, which irritates my inner OCD. She now sounds wonderful -- like brand new. I always forget how great your guitar sounds whenever you change their strings. It really makes a difference. 

With my guitar re-stringed and me consistently practicing, I’m ready to start jamming with other people. I have actually met a few people who are already interested, they just have to free up their schedules. I also am in need of a drummer. If you live in the Richmond area and want to jam, just hit me up with a PM. I’m always looking for people to play music with (starting now).

I am feeble to the winds of your words and the gaze of your azure orbs 

Daily Routine (9/26/17) - Straight Bumming

Today’s DR will be short. Pictured above you can see me in what I like to call my “summer moccasins”, AKA Sanuk slippers. They’re very comfortable but not the most stylish -- I don’t care though, especially since I paired them with my mesh shorts. 

So like my outfit suggests, this post will be of similar content. Laziness. I’ve been being kind of a bum lately. I should be training for my half-marathon in November, but I run so inconsistently now. I think it’s mostly due to my schedule just becoming so busy, but also I’ve already gotten that mid-semester laziness. I need to get it in check soon or else my grades will slip. 

But it’s okay to be lazy sometimes. Your body needs it. To just sit back and relax without a care in the world. Recharge your batteries per say. Just don’t let it get to you or the laziness will consume you. 

my granddad just called me to tell me how big his cauliflowers are growing and it was so cute theyre “TWICE as big as the ones you get in the shop”
