Liam Finn

This week's spotlight is long overdue and falls on Liam Finn, the musician and songwriter from New Zealand. He recently released his sophomore album, FOMO (an acronym for Fear of Missing Out). The album is perfect to listen to in the summer and gives off vibes of pure exuberance. What I like most about Finn's work is that the songs make you respond instantly. I usually end up tapping my feet whenever I'm listening to his songs. If you decide you like his music, visit his website and sign up for the newsletter, you get a free track!

Happy Days Are Here

A Series of Exciting Events

The Electrifying Evaluation: In other words, the knowledge test at the DMV. I was actually so worried I wouldn't pass so I studied my driver's manual all of Sunday. It must've paid off because I didn't get a single question wrong. Look out world, I'm taking the roads by storm....with a parent.

The Astonishing Award: I found out I won an Emmy! Well, sort of. The summer before ninth grade, I starred in an episode of the PBS show SciGirls. The show recently won an Emmy award so technically I'm an Emmy award winner, right?

The Instigating Invitation: I received an invitation to Columbia University's science invitational, which is actually tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't get to go :(

The Intriguing Investigation: As part of a pre-employment requirement, I got tested for drugs for the very first time! I was really looking forward to it, and made sure to drink two bottles of water beforehand (it was a urine test). I'm actually worried it might come out to be postive because I had a dentist appointment right before and I might've swallowed some toothpaste accidentally. The results come tomorrow and I'm nervous! Maybe not an investigation, but you get the idea.

It's too bad June's already coming to a close, summer's flying by!
Bye!

I Blame Coco

Interestingly enough, many of my favorite bands right now were originally introduced to me by a friend. I Blame Coco is one of these bands. The music is contagious and gives pop a whole new meaning. Additonally, there is a level of otheworldliness that I get from listening to several of the tracks. Normally, I prefer indie rock bands, but I Bame Coco definitely made me reconsider.

The 1st Official Mixtape

Prepare yourself for the most exciting thing since the release of Iron Man 2: The 1st Official Mixtape. I realize that I've posted numerous playlists since The Beginning, and I even had a background music player going for a while. Somehow, none of these options sat right with me. Finally I found a solution, so without further ado, THE 1st OFFICIAL MIXTAPE!
