December Music Crush: Habibi

This month I'm kinda cheating on this theme of Monthly Music Crush because I skipped two months (oops..?) due to crazy schoolworks so I didn't even bother to check my blog once in a while. But now here I am trying to catch up with this thing that I'm supposed to be be doing each month, so here we go.

As you probably know, or you didn't know, well now I'm telling you this, I love anything from psychedelic rock to indie & alternative rock even slacker rock because they just happen to immensely soothe my aching soul (what an exaggeration). Apparently slacker rock is a new genre I just discovered? Calling genre police because that's how musicians Mac Demarco and Kurt Vile describes their music style. And I love both of them.

Moving on, for the month of December I'm bringing to you an indie rock band/girlgroup/however you want to call it, from Brooklyn, New York, Habibi. I actually discovered them last month through Zoe Suen. The name Habibi means "My Love" in arabic. Their music is influenced by Middle Eastern music/melody. Grunge and punk are also their musical influences and boom; an awesome band is created. The band consists of Lenaya "Lenny" Lynch (guitar, vocals), Rahill Jamalifard (lead vocals, tambourine), Erin Campbell (bass, guitar, vocals), and Karen Isabel (drums).

Now I'm going to do a little comparison here. Based on my opinion, their music is somehow similar to Beach Fossils. Similar in the sense of how they both have the same kind of harmony/rhythm of guitar or maybe  it's just me? I don't know. You be the judge. 

If you didn't know already,  Beach Fossils is an American rock band, which is, surprise surprise, also based in Brooklyn, New York. If you like Beach Fossils then you sure as hell will like Habibi as well. Enough babbling, you can listen to two of my favourite tracks from Habibi. Enjoy and you're welcome.

September Music Crush: Juce

Since I post a lot of music stuff, I figured I'd do some sort of series where I share my new music finds (usually bands) every month and featuring some of their songs through my blog. The first one in this Monthly Music Crush is Juce, a girlgroup from London.

Also, check out their social medias:

May Favorites: Entertainment

Okay this past month I've been obsessing over these things I'm about to tell you and I don't think it's too late to post this kind of post so without babbling let's just jump right into it: 

Music: The Black Keys - Turn blue

Duo Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney emerged with their 8th studio album and I've really been enjoying listening to the songs, I would say this album is quite different from their previous studio album "El Camino". The songs in this album are lacking in their signature rhythm, having some sort of slightly slow beats to them, however I love this album.

Tv Series: Bates Motel

   Okay so I just finished season 2 and I was watching this nonstop and let me tell you this: This is the kind of series that will undoubtedly get you sucked in, I'll tell you why. But let me just say that the script is very predictable, like I always know what they're going to say afterwards.

   If you recall there was the exact same titled movie in 1987. However in this newly made series, they added a lot of stories that were never happened in the original movie.

   I'll just give you a quick description of this series. This series centres on two characters, a mother, , played by Vera Farmiga, and her 17 year old son, Norman Bates, played by Freddie Highmore. Episode 1 begins with a death of Norman's father. After his death, Norma decided to move out of town to "start over" with her son from Arizona to a fictional town of White Pine Bay, Oregon, where Norma bought a motel. Long story short, Norma was involved in a murder action and made Norman got involved too. Norma and Norman Bates had to keep up with the police as they were constantly trying to interrogate this family for the murder action. As time passes by, this family is somehow constantly experiencing unusual situations and meet people that basically ruin their lives. As you get closer to the end of season 2, you'll find out the dark backstory about Norman Bates that caused all sorts of trouble ever since they moved to White Pine Bay.

  Oh, and can we just have a moment of silence to appreciate how fine Dylan Massett (Norman Bates' brother, played by Max Thieriot) is?? I wasn't initially obsessed with him, but towards the end of season one, that's when I thought, "wow I just found the most perfect human being ever existed", because with that bad boy look and attitude, yet he's a helper at heart and has saved many people's lives, I mean, wowwwww I don't even know what to say.

   I can't really say much about this series (or else I'll spoil the story) nor give a glimpse of the series, because that is the worst thing to know when you haven't watched it yet. Season 3 is not available yet but defffff can't wait.

  

Movie: They Live

This movie is basically an 80's science-fiction movie with a powerful message that follows with a drifter referred as "Nada" who finds a box hidden in a wall in a building nearby a church in which he runs into a pair of sunglasses. When he puts them on, his vision turns black and white, and every advertisement he sees hides subliminal messages to obey and turns the human race to be passive.
