The Girl Who Waited

August 25, 2017 by Shelia

Those fans of Doctor Who will get the “the girl who waited” reference and those don’t watch Doctor Who probably don’t care about the reference. I honestly battled with the title because I have felt like little Amelia Pond waiting on the Doctor’s return and have felt like Amy Pond when she waited for Rory and the Doctor to return to Apalapucia, but also at the same time, I have felt like Rory, “the Last Centurion“. It’s the waiting, the wishing, the hoping, […]

Eargasm of the Week: “Hold Me Closer” by LANKS

March 6, 2015 by Shelia

LANKS is one of those artists that manages to take sounds that might not individually appeal to one’s ears but once he combines them all together, it is a euphoric melody to the ear. I sort of imagine him in brightly lit scientific lab but instead of smoke billowing from test tubes, it’s a drum heart beat here, a distorted wailing noise there, and the sound of electricity over there…smiling madly as he combines it all into music. He has quickly moved into our […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: “Saccharine” by Quintessential Doll

January 12, 2015 by Shelia

QUINTESSENTIAL DOLL started as the solo project of Brisbane’s STEPH LINSDELL but as she says, “along the way I invited some friends to join me on the musical journey.” Her EP LET NOT THE MASTERS DESTROY ME is 6 wonderful tracks of “darkly whimsical indie-folk with splashings of electronica”. Our favorite track is “Saccharine” and the song lives up to the title because it is a wonderful sugary and delightful track. We thinkQUINTESSENTIAL DOLL will be one of the artists to watch in 2015 […]

We are already fans of RY X and with every track he releases, we fall harder and harder for him. Catch RY X in February 13th-20th on the Sweat European Tour, dates can be found HERE.

LIVING MY LIFE LIKE A SONG

January 1, 2015 by Shelia

As 2015 kicks off, I have one target that has consumed me since January 3, 2012: Australia (and if I’m completely honest, it was even prior to that date, but that was the date of my flight back to the US from my 3 weeks in Australia.) While I was on the flight back to the US, my friend Heather said that I seemed sad, and sad was not even close to describing what I was feeling.

I felt like I was leaving home.

There are places that feel like home the moment you step foot in them and I had never understood that until the moment I landed in Key West circa 2000
