musically obsessed

SALEM SALEM SALEM SALEM have taken my soul.
Their show in London town is sold out, I was so sad!!! That would have been such a fucking treat. But I'm sure they'll be playing shows around Illinois next year. I have to go see them live. They've taken my soul, I have to claim it back. I think my obsession with Salem is as strong as my obsession with Patrick Wolf. Who I am obsessing about again, because he just released a new song and it's soooo beautiful!

I was slightly disappointed with the Bachelor album, because even though some songs were amazing "Vulture" "Oblivion" "Damaris" and "The Messenger" (actually I am in love with the Messenger song), other songs were not so impressive or actually even a bit annoying, and "Hard Times" was just not even a bit annoying but I really didn't like it. I was so excited about the Bachelor album after The Magic Position, even though that isn't my favorite album, but it got me to discover Patrick Wolf so I will always have a special place in my heart for it. My favorite songs on there: "Accident & Emergency", "Bluebells", "Magpie", "Augustine", "Secret Garden". My favorite album is actually Wind in the Wires, because it is sad, lonely, magical, a little rough and so melodic. I like every single song on that album, but my absolute favorite is "This Weather". As for Lycanthropy, it is absolutely brilliant and I love every song on it too, but it's not my favorite though it's the one I listen to most often nowadays. My favorite song is of course "The Childcatcher". So racy and dirty and fucked up!
I am just looking forward to the new material by Mr Wolf, especially if he's going in the direction of the new song!!

I'm going to see MNDR live on Wednesday. I am really excited because it's obvious that it's gonna be dancy and cool. I'm not into their music so much, but she/they are going to be huge next year, and I will never be able to get to see MNDR in such a small venue again. Besides, after a day of lecture, seminar, 4 hours of drawing followed by an artist talk, it will be so awesome to just relax and let my hair down (it's always down haha).

Who is super excited about Pulp reuniting??? I know I fucking am!

Also, strangely, I am starting to like the band Girls. Why??? I hated them when they first appeared. Now... I don't know. Their songs are catchy and their attitude is pretty damn awesome.

Oh oh I really liked the BATHS show I went to. Will was so cool! Playing his little tunes and being adorable and teddy-bear like. I was standing with a bunch of people that were dancing a lot, and I joined them because it was just a really good dance atmosphere. I don't know if I would listen to BATHS on a daily basis but I would definitely go to another live show if he's playing around Chicago next year.Which I am sure he will be. I think next year I will be spending a lot more time up in Chicago than usual. At least now I have at least 2 places to stay if I wanted to.

The muse calls, this was my break from endless writing and drawing. My break=more writing. I swear my brain hates all the usual and normal forms of relaxation and entertainment, instead forces me to work even when I'm on a break. Ah well...
Btw, I had THE most amazing breakfast today. I cut up half a banana, some strawberries and some blueberries. I then put my new cereal (wholegrain blueberry wheats) and poured rice milk on all that. Sooooo incredibly yummy. Then I had some crackers with hummus, tea and jam, and some passionfruit. This vegan thing is going better than I could have ever imagined. I don't miss cheese one bit!
