FRESHVIBESMONDAY #76

It's Monday night and I'm feeling equal parts alive & exhausted at the same time. So with that, I've attempted to scoop as many uppity gems as I could find, because sometimes you make last minute decisions on a Friday afternoon to hop on a plane and go to San Francisco for the weekend. This Monday hasn't been the brightest, but it's okay though - this is a big week for yours truly. To sum it up, I'll be leaving my job as a Visual for H&M, and heading down the street back to where it all started, Urban Outfitters! Onwards & upwards, right? So if you're ever in Santa Barbara, come say hey (and shop my blog's vinyl section while you're at it, hehe.)

Hope you guys dig this week's playlist, and through all of the craziness that's been taking place - expect to see LYED more in your face than usual. The last couple of posts have featured a couple individual finds that separately made my ears feel reaaal good. You know, the way music is supposed to make you feel.

ICYMI: FVM#75

FRESHVIBESMONDAY #54

Happy Monday, you guys! Hope you're as excited as I am for this week's edition of FVM. Starting off with the latest from Bwana, can't believe it's been years since his last release, but the wait has been worth it. It was only right for it to fall into the next track which is one of my favorites by Milosh (aka Michael Milosh of Rhye) that's too mesmerizing for words. I recently stumbled across an artist by the name of Jack Garratt who easily won my ears over with "The Love You're Given." Good luck getting that one out of your head. 

Also, TUCH was last week's Friday Fascination, if you might have missed it - no worries, click here.  In the midst of Johnny Jewel (of CHROMATICS) releasing tracks on his SoundCloud page, a new one popped up called "White Light" that has me wondering if a new album might be surfacing soon. *crosses fingers* So as you can see, I can easily go on & on about each of the tracks I've selected - but I'll let you be the judge.

 Any new discoveries lately? 

P.S. Beyoncé Platinum edition is out now, and if you aren't one of the 20 million who've already watched the video for "7/11", I'm just going to leave this here. 

 

and this...

FRESHVIBESMONDAY #44

LYED has been a wee bit silent lately, but that's because I've been hopping all over the Golden State to catch the infamous Worlds Tour  (Porter Robinson, Giraffage, and Lemaitre.) Hands down this is one of the best live productions I've ever experienced and would see it again in a heartbeat. I can't stress enough how satisfying it is to witness an event such as this tour. (Get the 411 on the tour & tickets here.) I'll be uploading photos soon, or you can get a sneak peek over on LYED's Instagram! 

Super (duper) excited to let you guys know that LYED will be returning to Sacramento this year for TBD Fest October 3-5! With a lineup like this years, what's not to like about it? Hope to see you there! <3 If you haven't purchased your pass yet, head over here to snag them! 

Which day are you most excited about?
