the bon iver cover of this bonnie raitt standard has been floating around cyberspace since the summer, but they just recently released a 25-minute recording session featuring this rendition.
leave it to justin vernon and sean carey to suck my soul dry on a friday night.
enjoy the heartache ♥

it’s only a few minutes past 1 am and yet i’m absolutely exhausted, ready to sleep como un tronco. regardless of my lethargy, i find myself doing some in-bed bopping to this la roux remix of little sumner’s “selfmachine.”
enjoy!

this is a bit of a throwback, but i ♥ this brazilian duo and consider this one to be timeless :)

last night was technically an “in night,” though i still managed to stay up till 3. that being said, i wasn’t too keen on starting my saturday early enough to have the option of watching morning cartoons.
unfortunately, the office beckons. and although i’m still feeling quite sleepy, this miike snow track (which has been on serious rotation since its recent release) is helping my day gain momentum. maybe it’ll help yours too :) have a splendid saturday!

one night of magic rush
the start: a simple touch
one night to push and scream
and then relief
ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn’t be good enough
for me, no

even though you feel lost in it, you can’t treat a memory like that

i don’t know what it is about this song, but i’ve had it on repeat of late, so i figured i’d share :)

and itunes shuffle does it again, with a throwback deep house track that has me feeling so chill yet simultaneously manages to fuel my productivity on another late night of study.

it seems i’ve been pushing back my bedtime more and more as the days go by, with me crawling under the sheets around 8 this morning, and forcing myself to wake up a bit past 3.
my day started off great regardless, in large part to coldplay’s cover of calvin harris (♥) and riri’s “we found love.” talk about unexpected—i mean, i can’t quite imagine the band listening to rihanna in their spare time. in any case, i’m excited to have a version that’s still happy but a bit less rowdy while studying at ungodly hours :)

2 am is creeping up on me, and chances are, i’ll be up studying till around 5. i think i was around 13 when i realized that the evening/wee morning hours are my most productive. music keeps me company on nights like this, and right now, i’m spending some quality time with justin vernon.
as if feist’s wasn’t heart-wrenching enough, bon iver’s cover seems to outdo the original.

in retrospect, my decision to end the evening with mar adentro might not have been the best, given i was sobbing into a paper towel; the same one i used to wipe popcorn butter off my fingers. anyway, i found myself in dire need of a pick-me-up this morning, and calvin harris pretty much does just that. here’s an 09 throwback which is definitely one of my favorites :)
¡feliz friday!

i believe it might be the combination of self-imposed sleep deprivation (my circadian rhythm seems to be FUBAR) and the rain that have me wanting to crawl under my sheets at such an “early” hour. ergo, the remainder of my thursday evening will be spent in bed watching mar adentro. but beforehand, i’ll need a dose of my favorite swedish songstress.
listen to lykke li’s rendition of the righteous brothers’ “unchained melody” and it might break your heart ♥.

anyone in the mood to feel good? this cutesy, puppy love-esque track is reminiscent of the late 90s/early 00s and definitely perks up my spirits. to be classified under: adorbz!

i’m pretty sure i like most RAC remixes more than i do the original songs themselves. case in point: their spin on ra ra riot’s “boy.”
i started off my morning bouncing around to this track and will probably find myself doing the same throughout the day. le wheeee!
