Okay guys, this is a fabulous band to come back to. I'm so pumped to share this with you.

Name: Diary of Snow
Genre: Acoustic/Ambient/Alternative

  • MySpace - http://m.myspace.com/home.wap?bfd=webnext&isredirected=true#friends.list/profile/530135070
Be sure to check out all of their websites and like and follow them for constant updates. This is a great band to get back into my writing with, and I'm so excited. Lets begin, shall we? 

So this band has been very patient with me, and I thank you guys so much. They messaged me back in November, but here it is, just like I promised. 

Diary of Snow is an interesting mix of their genres above, creating a unique and creative sound that pulls you in from their first note played. When I hit the play button for California, I was immediately attached. I knew automatically what to expect, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I knew that I would love the music. Their sound reminds me of an old-school NSN meets Owl City, and who would've thought that the product would be so intriguing? 

Not only that, their lyrics are killer, true, and raw. Quotable for sure, ha, and I was ready to go tweet them as soon as I heard them. I didn't, because I'm currently engaged, but it's the thought that counts right? The mix of songs on their PureVolume page is very impressive as well. The songs range on the emotional gradient, which is nice, because most bands tend to stick to one type of feeling. Diversity and uniqueness will definitely send this band to the top in only a matter of time. 

Jordan, Trevor, and Erik describe Diary of Snow has not a project, nor a band, but as a movement, which I completely agree with and love. They are achieving their goals, and that's an amazing thing. Their debut album became available for free download on January 10, 2013, and their song, Baby, I Love You [Album Version], is available for free download. 

Also be sure to check out their side project, Cheyenne's Music Box here!

Follow the blog, follow them, and show us all some love.
We appreciate everything you do for us. Without you after all, there wouldn't be an us (:

*Side note: I'll be posting more once my new computer comes in. I haven't had much technical luck lately, with my original computer crashing, then my new one freezing up constantly. It's been hard to make this happen, but I will be posting again. Not daily, because I'd like to do a better job posting so it may turn into one or two a week. Keep an eye out (: xo*

I promise I will answer, and I love hearing from you guys!

Hey World.

In case you guys haven't noticed, this blog is currently inactive. Not really by choice, but we do as we must do sometimes don't we?

I just had some time and decided that I needed to let everyone know that I got this really neat, new computer so maybe my inactive status will change. I'm really in love with it. So who knows?

I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely break.
xoxo.

Hey, hey, hey.

How's the music world doing, eh?

I know I've been MIA. It's on purpose. I figure I would rather do a top notch job than a shitty one, you know?

Anyway, I'm coming back for this post really quick because I wanted to share a little something with you guys...

In my computer science class, we had to create a Prezi over a topic relevant to the computer world. Guess which one I did? Ha.

Piracy, yup. So anyway, in our Prezi, we had to make an Animoto. I was kind of impressed with mine, so I thought I would share it... my Animoto that is, not my Prezi. You can look at that too, but you have to find it yourself ;D

Anyway, click here to see it. It's pretty sweet I'd say.

Oh, and just a B.T.W., I found this amazing new band. I'll be doing a legitmate post over them later. I'm very pumped about their music..

So now to make this even more relevant to music and what this blog is actually about, go check out these songs:
- Techno Fan by The Wombats: LOVE. Seriously. Such a cute song. Their amazing.
- Magic by NSN: I feel like I've already said to check this one out but oh well. It's amazing. Cracks me up. Given up faith in Chris? Have no fear. He's coming back.
- Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend: Such a chill happy little tune. Recommend it if you just want to hang out and hold up the peace sign.
- Best of Us by the Dirty Heads: Love. This. Song. My friend suggested it because it reminds him of me ha. It's pretty great. Very Bob Marley.
- Clarity (feat. Foxes) by Zedd: This was a single of the week awhile back. I always download them, as should you. This definitely climbed up my list as a fave. The lyrics ring true.

That's all the time I have. I love you guys and appreciate everything y'all have done for me. Stay beautiful.

Really?

I've been lacking in the blogging department lately. Life has been kicking my ass bad lately, and I don't have much time.

And I need a moment to vent. Because no one around is worth venting to.

First off, this would've marked the two year anniversary for one of the greatest relationships I've ever had. Of course, with my luck, it did not make it two years. I'm holding on to something that I should've let go, whatever, I've heard it all. Judge me. And it's not even that I'm holding onto him. I'm holding onto that happy feeling that I haven't gotten in about a year and a half since he left. I'm holding onto every smile, and laugh, and memory that has already happened, but won't ever happen again. On top of it, he now has a girlfriend that hates me, and won't allow us to be friends because she's insecure in her relationship.

Screw you, hoe.

Secondly, my car almost got towed this morning for no reason other than I parked close to the band cones. Excuse me for not parking in your box, but next to it my kind sir. I swear... dumbest BS I've ever seen in my life. So dumb. So, so dumb. I was lucky that one of the girls in my class came in late and told me because otherwise, I would've been carless this afternoon. I love the band to death, but do you really need the whole damn parking lot to practice? Nope. And why don't they just go on the field? There's no one on there during first period, so have at it. Leave us innocent bystanders alone, and let us park where ever we want.

Thirdly, I'm in my dual credit class right now. I have no work for my economics class (yay) and no work for school. So essentially I have nothing to do. My master plan for today to waste away these pointless 50 minutes with a teacher I cannot stand was to get on PureVolume, listen to some bands that have backed up, write my blogs, and have them ready to post.

But of course, with my luck, as my luck is going, that can't happen. Why? Because the two other girls I share my class with have decided that they need the headphones. It's not like I don't use them every day. It's not like music isn't my life or gets me through. Nahhhhh, who cares? Let's have headphones dangle from our neck and talk, so I can't use them.

Now commence the longest class period of my life.

I've been so mad lately. And so frustrated. I had a fabulous weekend. But I feel as if that was just a break between the sucking. Senior year is supposed to be fun right?

Not for me... hate to burst any hopeful seniors out there, but this is the second worst year of my high school career, and it's only been the first six weeks. Curious for the order?
It goes:
- Freshman
- Senior
- Sophomore
- Junior

What I would do to be a junior again, ha. But of course I also want to just get the hell out of here, so I'm happy with where I am in that sense. College Station can't be any closer to mine.

Yes. I am an Aggie. (;

I'm pretty sure this is the longest post I've ever written. I'll stop boring y'all with details about my life. Y'all come here for music. Not for my whining.

To add some music, check out these songs:

- Oh Well, Oh Well by MayDay Parade; my anthem lately. Love the lyrics. Plus Derek's voice is just sexy a'f.
- Magic by Never Shout Never; their newest release. I love it. It's so cute and sounds like his old stuff. If you've lost hope in Chris, no need, because he's coming back. So excited for his solo release too.
- Hills Like White Elephants by Isles and Glaciers; I'll be doing a more in depth  post over these guys. It's a supergroup including Vic Fuentes, Mike Fuentes, Jonny Craig, Craig Owens, Nick Martin, Brian Southhall, and Matt Goddard. Insane stuff.
- King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men; my favorite. Love this song. So cute and sweet.
- The Boy with the Arab Strap by Belle and Sebastian; some of my favorite lyrics come from this song (Color my life with the chaos of trouble). Great little tune. It's an oldie, but a goodie.

Alright people. Done. Enjoy and have nice lives.

If you need to vent back, go for it. Comment away.
