Indie Goodness

Some of the best songs I've heard in my entire 21-year-old life are from indie bands. These songs are so good, I think I'm hypnotized when listening to them. I won't mind even mind playing them for the rest of my life.

Active Child - Hanging On 
How many people in the world can create music as ethereal and calming as this? A lot, TBQH, but this song captures my sentiments exactly. 
 

Black Kids - Hurricane Jane
With lyrics like "It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody", I instantly became a fan of Hurricane Jane and the rest of the Black Kids discography. It's my kind of music--indie-electro with a hint of pop and rock. 

Dr. Dog - The Breeze
Thanks to Jamie Dornan, I got the chance to listen to this amazing Dr. Dog song. And he's right, if this won't make you smile, there's something wrong with you. A song for laid-back Saturdays.

A Music Video Party

I missed a lot of music video releases the past weeks. Let me make up for that by having a music video party! Confetti, please.

Clara C - Fish 

Clara's music video are always a little bit whimsical and Fish is no different. I actually expecting something more related to the song in a literal sense and some great underwater scenes. But, I have no complaints with the actual MV, TBQH. And Mike Chang is here, JSYK. :D



Lana del Rey - National Anthem 
Lana del Rey aka the Queen of Instagram pretends to be Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy in one music video with rapper A$AP Rocky as the President JFK. Well, you know the story. And I love it, I love it. Btw, loving all your clothes in this vid, gurl. Werk.



Super Junior - Sexy, Free, & Single 

Their title song is definitely so much better than last year's Mr. Simple. It was too simple for the gods that are Super Junior. Aside from the song, I super love the set of this MV, especially that minimalist white set with the curved side. Does it even matter?! My flawless BBs are back and nothing in the world matters right now. Everything else is irrelevant.



2NE1 - I Love You


I like the "sensitivity" this song has. I like its melody especially at the beginning. It's like Go Away minus the angst. But after last year's I Am the Best, it's definitely much more tamer. I have a feeling that this is not really their song for the year. It's more of a taste of what is about to come.
