END OF SUMMER APPREEESH LIST

Ok, so i guess titling this post "end of summer" is just a lie because YOU KNOW it will stay hot in Florida for at least 2 more months. But regardless, here's a post dedicated to the loves of my life lately!


SKA AND DUB AND REGGAE
DELICIOUS!
I used to be really into ska. I guess it started in middle school with awful local ska bands. Then I got into all the pop ska stuff (Big D & The Kids Table, MU330, Planet Smashers, etc). It wasn't until mid high school that I came across real, straight up Jamaican ska. And through exploring that, I came to really appreciate reggae and dub stuff too. I came across a pile of old cds a few days ago, and one of them happened to be a mix called "Trad + Shit" (clever, right) from 2 or so years ago. I popped it into my car cd played, and it has not left since! Man, it is some good stuff. Desmond Dekker, The Maytals, The Paragons, Laurel Aitken, Derrick Morgan. I had forgotten how fucking good it was! And now its kinda all I wanna listen to.


OK, IF WHEN IM NOT JAMMIN TO SKA, IM PROBABLY LISTENING TO LATIN MUSIC.
I am completely in love with this song by Cuban band Los Zafiros. It makes me picture dancing in the rainforest or something. And Os Mutantes is super amazing as well. I want more! I needa download/burn some STAT.


ORANGE NAILPOLISH
I hate the color orange usually. I like to blame it on my first boyfriend who LOVED the color so much he wore an orange tux to prom. But anyway, recently I have noticed a lot of people sporting the orange nails, and i decided to give it a go. Im actually pretty stoked with results! I still like white polish the most though. ALSO, check out the sweet new photobucket stickers! how fun.


WII BOWLING
This is so fun. It combines two really fun things, bowling and video games. All the 3 am bowling matches your little heart desires! I wanna become a serious pro so I can slaughter my brother next time we play.
