Sunshine

Since David Guetta's pre-America fame, I have been a huge fan. I can recall being on an amazing two week trip to France in 2004 that my parents so generously gave me for my high school graduation and dancing like there was NO tomorrow at an outdoor show in the middle of Niece. Just a Little More Love was blaring from the DJ... I was hooked. Guetta's come quite a ways since then, and while we've had our ups and downs (no one can deny that he is often waaayyy overplayed on the radio and in the clubs) I still find myself dancing like there is no tomorrow to every song he spits out. In honor of this AMAZE sunshine in the Windy City- here's a collaboration he did with Avicii (kind of a musical genius, don't you agree?) called "Sunshine":



With this amazing weather I spent last night at Vertigo Sky Lounge outside with good friends and making new ones. It's looking like tonight will be a repeat, but this time at Studio Paris (please, please, please say they'll retract the roof tonight!). It's feeling like a glam kind of night...

What's up Fatlip?

Soooo pleased with this current heatwave in Chicago- it's so sunny and happy outside, I feel like "What's up Fatlip" just needs to be the soundtrack to my life right now.  I was super pleased when I was at The Standard in Hollywood last Friday and Fatlip  himself was DJing that night... pretty solid set.  My sister and I had a blast!

And now for a remix:

She's So Up!

Kind of in love with everything about these images from Nylon's September 2011 issue!  They put me in a fun cheery mood this morning even though I had to lug my luggage to work this morning, couldn't find a cab, apparently have allergies that I didn't know existed... it was just one of those kind of mornings...

But on a happier note, I'll be in LA in a few [hopefully short] hours!

Have you ever been mellow?
Have you ever tried?
Have you ever been happy?
Have you ever tried?



Really- rather than me posting each song off of Netsky's self titled album, you should just go check it out on Spotify! Netsky – Netsky

Follow Me

Escaping is exactly what I'm looking forward to this weekend! Tomorrow I leave for a long weekend in California- LA, OC, maybe a little SD... what more could I need right now with loads of work and this lovely overcast plaguing Chicago currently?



Time to suitcase it up and have fun! I might even come back with a new hairdo... I tend to do that when I visit LA...

Did I mention it will be 85 and sunny on Friday? It's ok to be jealous...

Cinema

True -this song is by no means new, but also true? It's undeniable ability to get me bouncing- whether it be in my chair at work, walking down the street, or out at night!  Sure Skrillex's remix of this song has it's points of being pretty major (did you SEE the crowd lose it at North Coast Music Festival when Benassi played the remix?) but there's something about the more kindhearted, innocent... how else to put this... can opener sound-less original version.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a good amount of dubstep, but we can't deny that it sounds like 2 pieces of metal are grinding together faiirrrlllly often.  And on that note- "Cinema" by Benny Bennasi:
