Born To Die & Video Games/Lana Del Ray

Born To Die

Edited 12/31/11: I titled this post Video Games without giving you her song. Guess I was too excited about Born To Die. Anyway here it is;

Video Games

Beyonce's Favorite Songs of 2011

Big Sean featuring Nicki Minaj – Dance (A$$)
Future – Tony Montana
Jay-Z & Kanye West – Ni**as in Paris
Kelly Rowland featuring Lil Wayne – Motivation
Adele – Someone Like You
Drake featuring Lil Wayne – The Motto
Rihanna – Man Down
Chris Brown featuring Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne – Look at Me Now
James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream
Frank Ocean – Novacane

I think B has good taste, I like most of the same songs. What about you? Do you and Beyonce share the same songs?

Studded Hearts

Yeah we are aware that's far from summer and way to cold to be wearing shorts, but you can overlook this! We can't get enough of leather & studs either. It gives any design attitude.

Favorite Releases 2011 Part 4

I blasted my headphones when I listened to this album, rolled my eyes at anyone who said Tyler, The Creator wasn't a good rapper, and listened some more. I love his clever and propane lyrics. 

Favorite Releases 2011 Part 3

The Wilhelm Scream/James Blake

If you listen to nothing else...

Edited: I didn't plan for this to be a release, but I fell so hard for this song, that I had to put it up.

Call Your Girlfriend/Robyn

I first heard this song while watching SNL (yes I still watch that show), I didn't know who she was. I was so fascinated by this song. I reached for my computer and type some lyrics and Roybn popped up. Currently one of the most played songs in my collection.

Peso/ASAP Rocky

ASAP Rocky virtually came from out of no where. I love his sound. People are already comparing him to Wiz Khalifa. Actually some are saying he's better than Wiz, but that's up to you. I know I want to hear more from him.

The Weeknd/The Fall (Sango Remix)

Sounds so much better without Rihanna.

Favorite Releases 2011 Part 2

The Throne - Watch The Throne

Call me mainstream or whatever, but I really enjoyed The Throne (I will always have a special for Kanye). When I first listened to Otis, I swear that I was going to hate. I must admit delivered when it came to the beats and I think that's it's one of the most creative album this year .

Otis

Sit Back & Listen

I took a break from my 'Favorite Releases of 2011' just to post about artist I can't wait to hear from. This list includes The Internet.

Favorite Releases 2011 Part 1

Since this year is about to close in 5, well (4 days), I wanted to look back and share my favorite release in 2011. And like religion I'm shoving my music down your throat during the next 4 days.

The Weeknd - House of Balloons

Don't know who The Weeknd is? Well, you might've heard him and not even known it. Real name Abel Tesafaye. He's on Drake's Take Care album, with the song Crew Love. But I can proudly say that I known way before then, with his prior releases House of Balloons & Thursday. I can't stop listening to it, it's probably the most played music in my music collection. I love all of his songs. That's says something, since I'm the pickiest person on the planet. His sound is completely different and fun. His pill popping lyrics are suggestive hence:

Kryptonite in my pants, go ahead go super

and 

Baby, you’re my Dairy Queen/ Watch you make my baby cream 

They categorize his music has R&B, but to me it's something more. Plus, his all of his releases this year are free on his website. You can download here from his website.

Party & The After Party

Lost For Words

I really don't know what to say on my first blog post. You'd think it would be easy, but no. I promise it won't always be like this. So I guess I'll go over things I want to use this blog to be.

#1 Recipes. It's no coincidence that I put this first. I absolutely love food. My friends in real life would joke about this because I'm so skinny, but it's true. I enjoy trying to cook something, though I don't have the time. But this year (next year) I plan to change that. It's my goal to blog about yummy recipes. I could be another Julie, kidding.

#2 Clothes. No I don't plan to be another fashion blogger or anything, but I do want to share my clothing inspiration. Plus I'm opening an online store and I want to know what people think of certain trends and such.

#3 Writing. I also hope to better my writing. Don't worry I'm not going to post a series a post of books on here. Maybe just one-liners.

#4 My Life. I think that my life sucks, and after reading a few post about it you may think so too.

Most importantly I want to #5 Meet People. I want to use this blog to travel journeys of someone's life, maybe make a life long friend. Learn something that I didn't know. So don't be afraid to say hi, if I don't say it first!

Love, Izzy
