Classes are officially back in full swing, which means regular naps have most likely made their way into your daily schedule. But are group project nightmares and massive assignments taking over your brain and making those crucial naps difficult to take?
Let us introduce you to our cat nap mixtape.
The time has come—we can almost feel the dust in our lungs, see the dirt in our fingernails and smell the fresh cut floral crowns. Music festival season is on its way, and we’ve got our high-waisted cut-offs freshly frayed!
With music festival line-ups, it’s easy to feel like you’re at the optometrist when reading the performances poster. The headliners stand out, bold and extra large, but what about the bottom-line acts? You know, the ones you need a prescription to see? They’re people too, and they’ve been invited to play for a reason! We’ve whipped out my magnifying glass for this year’s Coachella lineup and compiled 12 of the best of the bottom lines.
While we can’t steal the outfits or have the perfect model hair and makeup from the various fashion weeks around the world, there is something from the runways we can keep for ourselves: the playlists!
We’ve rounded up the coolest tracks from this seasons spring/summer runway shows. These jams have been accompanied by looks from Kenzo, Saint Laurent, Rodarte, and more at Paris, Milan, London and New York Fashion Weeks. Press play–these fun, airy, effervescent songs are sure to put the spring in your step strut.
Exam mode is in full swing and we are quickly joining procrastination nation as ANY excuse to not be doing work is a good one. BUT when push comes to shove and we need to get down to business, sometimes white noise just doesn’t cut it!
Valentine’s Day is a day for embracing- whether it’s your significant other or your single life. This playlist is for the latter (the single part, being alone, no significant other in sight, solo)
A VWL IS LETTER THAT CAN’T GET NO LOVE FROM ME.
A, E, I, O, U, the English language can be pretty crUel…if you don’t get your letters in the right order and use the right punctuations. Some of the best gifts the Interwebz has given us include misspelt tattoos and young kids misspelling words to create something not quite G-rated. Why do so many words sound the same???
BUT, let’s celebrate the musicians (and two songs bc for some reason nobody is de-voweling song titles) who are like NAH, and have taken upon themselves to have names made up of just consonants. So ~trndy~ & much awkward as we make gasping sounds trying to pronounce them to our friends/colleagues. Let’s drop vowels like it’s hot. read more…
By strutting I mean walking, but let’s be honest: When songs like these come on, your walk is /really/ more like a strut.
Everywhere I go I’m constantly plugged into my iPhone. I have specific playlists for everything – from writing an essay to making pancakes on a Sunday. Don’t judge me, my mom appreciates my playlist (hi mom!) so, I’ve decided to share with all of you, my walking playlist. I take it with me walking downtown, walking from class to class, and now…walking to FORA. Put those giant sunglasses on, grab that leather jacket and click play! read more…
Whoever said “one is the loneliest number” clearly didn’t know Beyoncé. Following in queen B’s footsteps, Fall 2014 is packed with band mates flying solo dolo. Exhibit A: Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke announced his first solo album since The Boxer (2010). Exhibit B: There’s a new single from Radiohead’s drummer on the airwaves. Exhibit C: All of Hot Chip is trying on their solo outfits as Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell release a new album under the name The 2 Bears. And lastly, who can forget Karen O’s first one women LP endeavor Crush Songs released in September? This can only mean one thing: it’s true what they say- deep down everyone just wants to be Beyoncé. read more…
It’s no coincidence that right when the days get shorter your to-do list becomes NEVER ENDING. The kids aren’t calling it #NoLifeNovember for nothing, and the list of responsibilities doesn’t seem to be getting shorter any time soon. But don’t fret, we’ve gotchu covered with a playlist to calm yo stresses. read more…
According to Lana Del Rey, the markings of a true Brooklyn Baby include (but are not limited to): a rare jazz collection, a boyfriend in a band, and the ability to name drop members of The Velvet Underground. Of course, a fondness for beat poetry gets you extra points – but let’s stick to the basics. After all, this week’s mixtape is all about sounds from the homeland of H.O.V.A. himself. In celebration of my longtime favourite Brooklyn band TV On The Radio releasing their forthcoming studio LP (November 18), here’s a nod to the best of’s from the best borough. No questions. read more…
