Guess what I just got in the mail! Double whammy of awesome zines. On the left is my friend Ali’s music zine Under the Influence - she’s planning a second one so you should get on that, and on the right is Brodie Lancaster’s Filmme Fatales, featuring kick-ass ladies talking about cinema, and also one specific kick ass lady who is queen of my heart.
If you think you can write 500-1000 words on your favourite bands/musician etc, then hit me up, because I’m wanting to put together a zine where people discuss their favourite band/musician, talk about their experiences of them, why they are your favourite etc. It is very daggy, but think of it as on opportunity for you to really express why you love some stupid band so much that you feel as though no one else gets it. Just a bit of fun to try and get myself writing, and I thought maybe some others would like to join in! Also if you think you have friends that would be interested, reblog please! :D
Do this, guys!

I’ve never really been into The xx, so when my best friend insisted we stay for their 1:50am set at Optimus Primavera Sound (well, she didn’t insist, but she really wanted to see it) on the day where we’d been rained on for hours (and the day Death Cab cancelled!), I went quite begrudgingly.
They opened with this song, Devotion, off their upcoming album. And wow, I can’t remember the last time I was so quickly won over.

“I have not carefully examined the lyrics, but I’m pretty sure it’s about a boner.”
– This is my experience with most music! (context of quote is Tavi talking about ELO’s Strange Magic)
Starring Role by Marina & The Diamonds
Choice lyrics from this tough broad:
- You don’t love me, big fucking deal
- I send my best, regards from hell
- I never sent for love, I never had a heart to mend, because before the start began, I always saw the end

Ava by Coeur de Pirate
Okay, so I started trying to learn French a couple months ago, and I’m only really halfway through one unit on Rosetta Stone, so I know colours and how to count to twelve (barely) but the other day I thought I’d rewatch that adorable Capucine video from some years back and it all sounded like gibberish to me still and gave me a headache. This has nothing to do with this song, which is great and is kind of upbeat but also really sad and a bit dark?? Take a look at the lyrics translation: Oh, Ava, you read those words over and over again / From three-sentence-long letters which tear your age off you / You know he’s a coward / But Ava, he just thinks you’re a fool When he kisses you, you feel like living again / But he’s really just renting his bed. AMAZING.
The third in an indeterminate series of prime sassy musical ladies I’ve been listening to lately.
