It's about that time to pick up my pen again.. and start writing.. and creating. I may never fit in with typical on-time music bloggers but am somehow perfectly content because what I share is based only when I'm moved by something. However, I really have missed sharing music while getting overwhelmed in the bubble of this so-called life. My little side project or hobby as my family likes to call it, of having the jewelry line * Couture by Lolita * has now rushed me into my big real-time dreams, and my heart is beginning to finally open up [...]

I'll never stop loving the beauty of a physical album; everything from the scent of a new vinyl, to the magic of reading the lyrics and seeing the images inside the insert, to the touch of the glossy, matte or recycled paper, and the most important factor - the cover art of the actual overall masterpiece. Here is some of the best album art of 2011. It's easy to see in all of these artists, that there was an actual thought to the structure of not only their music but how it visually sounds. Enjoy!

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or [...]
For the last month, I drove from the tip of Northern California's wine country all the way down to San Diego and the Mexican border, east to the Grand Canyon and snow in the mountains of Arizona, the sandstorms of New Mexico, the saddening cattle meat packing farms of Texas, into the wild tornadoes of Oklahoma, the eerie bible belt of Missouri and Illinois, the changing leaves of Indiana, the darkness of Ohio, through the hills of New Jersey into the skyline of the best city in this world, New York City, and all to circle back once again to [...]

Born in NYC, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Grant is a singer/songwriter known under the stage name of Lana Del Rey.

Her debut ep "Video Games / Blue Jeans" was released by Stranger Records on vinyl on October 10, and October 11 digitally. Lana Del Ray has no qualms about revealing of how the business challenged her to become an indie retro pin up girl, and secretly shared her opinion in an [...]
"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life." ~*~ [...]

los angeles' foster the people 's pumped up kicks became a familiar summer soundtrack in the background while you were jetsetting to foreign islands, drinking pina coladas, laying underneath the sunshine, swimming in a fancy pool, feeling the heat, riding your bicycle, laughing with friends, and dreaming to the nighttime's cool warm breezes. although previously released in september 2010 to modern rock radio stations, it was first thought of as a sleeper hit without too much recognition. happily now almost a year later, pumped up kicks quickly grew to be a constant part [...]
