MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // BAHAMAS // 15

another busy weekend coming up, friends! i'm looking forward to it, as i'll be able to see my alot of my girls a bunch and get started on my studio!  i'm not crazy sure which room i'm getting yet, but i'm pretty sure it will be the one in the pictures below. it is actually a dining room, which explains the chandelier. man, do i have some painting to do! :) i'm thinking i'll share the room transformation on the blog -- cause who doesn't love some before and after shots? this MUSIC LOVE FRIDAY is bahamas. i have to listen to this song on headphones cause my roomie has heard it too many times on cbc radio. bahamas may not seem like the nicest dude, but man, does he know how to make dem songs. happy weekend, everyone. enjoy y'allselves!

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // MO KENNEY // 14

these last few weeks have been super confusing and busy! i can't keep the days straight, and it feels like friday keeps coming so quickly (please let this happen forever, life!) vis a vis, it seems like i keep blogging MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS every five minutes! which is fine, cause i love it.


my roomie/bestie introduced this Canadian lady to me a couple months ago, and this song still gets me! carnivore is also a beaut. mo is from nova scotia, where i would one day like to visit. take a listen:

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend full of self-discovery, fun, and a whole lot of laughs :)

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAY // HANNAH GEORGAS // 13

i'd never heard hannah georgas' music before, but i always thought her name was pretty. i was driving in my car one day and i had to shazam this song. i've been listening to her albums all day on her website, and they are still going strong. this lady is coming to town in january, and there is a very very good chance that i will check her out :)

this weekend is full of family dinners, etsy updating, and, unfortunately, getting the tire fixed on my car. ouch!

HAPPY MUSIC LOVE FRIDAY!

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // 12 // ANGUS STONE

hey everybody! happy friday! i am le tired today, but i found a sweet artist last night (or rather, refound, as i was told i've already listened to him whilst on a trip to vancouver) and i wanted to share. i'm so glad it's almost the weekend...this one will be full of xmas shopping, carolling practice, visiting family, (hopefully) seeing friends, and working on the POP UP SHOP! first things first, i think i need some coffee.

this song is rad. angus stone is from australia. what else is there you need to know? give it a listen :)

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // SAME LOVE // 11

i haven't been numbering these posts properly, i have realized. oh well.

i've been hooked on this song and video since the very first time i laid my eyes upon it. this dude "raps happy" (like will smith) and i love it. i like to think that someday, music videos will portray love stories featuring gay couples, but the song and its lyrics won't have anything to do with being gay. they'll just be about love.

this weekend i'm going to a christmas party with a really fun guy, and going to my baba's seniors home holiday party to hear some carols. i can't wait!

happy friday, friends. enjoy y'allselves.

MUSIC LOVE MONDAYS // AMELIA CURRAN // 10

i know, i know. i already posted about amelia curran. but she's wonderful.

i keep replaying her songs and i try to do MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYs about music i can't stop listening to...my current songs. i keep posting mostly sad, slow and understated songs, and i guess i listen to alot of that style of music. so be it!  a cool thing is that i am somehow posting mostly Canadian artists! woohoo! please take a listen. i think you'll agree her stuff is BEAUTIFUL  :)

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // DAN GRIFFIN // 9

SO. we know about canadian dan griffin through a little band called the arkells in which he played the keys...up until a a little while back, when he left to go to law school! the point of this whole thing is that this gentleman has a phenomenal self-titled solo project, and a hilarious twitter account. you should probably check out everythang. here are a few of our faves!

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // THOSE DANCING DAYS // 8

soooooo... a few years ago i found out about these girls, prooobably through one of the many blogs i follow, and i watched the video for "hitten" about a million times. i was totally hooked! i really dig the lead singers fro, the drummer doing her thing attached to skipping ropes, and their super cute swedish style :) unfortunately, last i heard the gals had broken up to do other things. c'est la vie.

take a listen and get dancin' friends!

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // a poem about everything // 7

"a poem about everything" is how gregory alan isakov described a song of his called mercury. really, it explains all of his music.

my roommate friend gave me his album The Empty Northern Hemisphere a year or more back, and i had put it on my ipod without much of a thought. when i got around to giving it a listen a few weeks later, i was mesmerized.  this man has such a beautiful, truthful voice, and such depth in his lyrics. isakov knows something only a few other do... how to show aspects of life through song without being blatant. when i'm listening to him i feel like i'm the only one who has heard these songs --  i just imagine myself driving on a dark country road, thinkin' about living.

might i add he is quite an attractive chap? oy.

his music has been featured in numerous television shows and you might recognize big black car from the holiday mcdonalds commercial. as much as i don't want to admit it, the song fits the commercial really well. when i hear it i think about the twinkle lights in the ad and the twinkle lights on my stairs. i really love the peacefulness of the song and the image of little glowing lights on hardwood. the feeling only grows now that it's getting to be the holidays again. give these a listen... and a listen and a listen:

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // RAY LAMONTAGNE AND THE PARIAH DOGS // 6

it's friday again??  how nice!

oh, lordy. this song is amazing.  i'm not a regular listener to this chap, but i really should be. truly beautiful. and the beard...really...needs no explanation. give er a listen and enjoy your weekend :)

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS // KATHLEEN EDWARDS // 5

i am in love with this lady's music. this song has come into my mind the most lately...i thought it was kind of a sign when she came on in a restaurant in new york city of all places! the first time i ever heard it, it make me think of another song called summerlong by another Canadian lady Emm Gryner (and you should probably check that out too). check her out and tell me what you think! :)

 

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAY/NOAH GUNDERSEN/4

Noah Gundersen!  i've been obsessed with this dude for a while now... i was tempted to put all of his songs in this post, but that would be a bit much, am i right? i know, they're pretty serious and some are on the sad side, but they're really beautiful too. take a listen, friends! you will be enchanted!

CANNON BROS. / MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS / 3

welcome to MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS! i got this album from a friend and i've been listening to it like crazy. my fave is prooobably "see it". i'm proud to say that cannon bros. are from winnipeg, and were recently longlisted for the Polaris music prize. PROUD MAMA! HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL.

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS / 2

well, i'm leaving on a jet plane tomorrow to ontario for my lovely cousin's wedding, then my family and i are off to the big apple for a week.  here's a great new song to kick of the end of this one.  be sure to follow me on twitter @ladylikeness_rp for sweet pictures while i'm gone!

MUSIC LOVE FRIDAYS - THE LUMINEERS

it is quite the normal occurrence for me to ignore others when they tell me to listen to something, maybe so that i can discover it on my own and build my own connection. that happened with the lumineers.  my roommate/friend told me i had to listen to them, after a few weeks i did, and i've never looked back. the lumineers have this old-style feel to them, like you're sitting in a kitchen with a mixture of friends and strangers, with a glass of whiskey, jamming til 4am.  they write from the heart, for the heart, and you can feel it.  these songs get me, all the time, every time.  have a listen and maybe dance in your kitchen!

HAPPY MUSIC LOVE FRIDAY!
