Artis pendatang baru Devi Kani, cewek cantik dan seksi kelahiran Jakarta, 18 Februari 1992. Devi Kani yang memiliki nama lengkap Devi Rosvikani, mengawali karier sebagai foto model di Medan tersebut.
Cewek cantik ini memiliki postur yang lumayan yaitu bertinggi 165cm dan berat 45cm. "Seksi dalam arti bukan yang murahan, tapi berkelas. Aku lebih suka seksi yang elegan. Cara kita bicara, menatap, dan berprilaku juga bisa membuat kita terlihat seksi di depan pria kok," ucapnya.
"Aku suka bibir, dan terutama sih mata aku. Soalnya banyak yang bilang tatapan mata aku ini seksi banget. Cowok aku juga bilang begitu. Aku sih sependapat sama mereka semua," katanya.
One of my favorite things since starting this blog has been having a band/ PR company/ record label email me information about their work; I love it.
Finding music is fun and amazing (I can't believe it took me so long to find bands like Family of the Year and Passenger, Kodaline continues to amaze me and, had I not found Lady Danville [now Hunter Hunted] back in '08, I would have never returned to music), but there's just something really great about being given the chance to hear music I may have never found on my own.
Below are just some of the awesome bands who have gotten in touch with me (through Gmail, Twitter, YouTube) over the past eleven months (This blog is almost a year old! I feel like I should do something special. If you know who I am, let's go do something August 16), along with some of the bands who have so graciously reached out to me after I mentioned them on the blog; you are all amazing. I cannot wait to hear the music you continue to create and you make it worth the effort it took to turn my life back over to music and, for that, I am eternally grateful.
Sometimes you just need some great jazz music with a hint of ukulele and plenty of brass. Leftover Cuties' "Smile Big" provides a perfect soundtrack for crossing over the James river and into Virginia, especially when you realize how relatively close that is to DC (where you will be able to swear off driving for the next week).
I am so happy to be off 95 for the night; if only I could sleep before getting back on the road again...
If I wasn't so addicted to good indie folk pop I could probably do just that, but with a strong rhythm and a sweet melody, amazing lyrics and a perfect chorus, and a quick closing verse of "there's nothing more empty than my own bed, I don't know where to go when I can't go home", this song is too great to not listen to on repeat a few times.
The best thing about being woken by your phone beeping incessantly is realizing that your friend is texting you for amazing reasons, and not bad ones. My stance on DOMA has been clear, I believe, but, if you're new to the blog, here's a past post about the need for marriage equality in this country.
Overturning the Defense of Marriage Act is only a small step as, though you can now be recognized as a married couple at a federal level and receive all the same benefits as other married couples, there are still plenty of states who still can't seem to figure out that a basic human right should be available to every human being, no matter their sexual orientation. My friends who have found someone they truly love, family friends who have been with each other for thirty years, they deserve the right to marry the person they love, without having to wait for a federal court of strangers to decide whether or not their relationship should be given the same rights which every other citizen is born with.
This song is gorgeous and makes it impossible for me to not love Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (even if I still can't stand "Thrift Shop" because all I can think of is stalking Girl Scouts... but that's another story for a different time).
"Same Love" Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert
Dear You's latest single, "If Worries Were Weights", is available on iTunes now. Get it; it's awesome.
The music video is adorable and fun, but the song is more than capable of standing on its own; I've listened to it about forty times by now and I still find myself hitting repeat.
Go get the EP now because it's awesome, the band is kind of amazing and you should support them, and because you don't really have a reason not to get the EP now (it's in your iTunes store for only $5).
Some songs that have been mentioned in the past (and some more recently) deserve to be played on repeat now (and forever). They're all perfectly awesome.
Dear You is one of my latest addictions, and for good reason. They've got that punk rock with great (yet unobtrusive) lyrics genre covered, without slipping into the realm of a high school level band; they're pretty awesome.
The band's fun, their music gets better every time I listen to it, and this song is so damn catchy; the music video may be cheesy, but it's cheesy in a really great and fun way and I can't get enough of it or the music (as I've watched it seven times already... You have to love that sign at the 1:30 mark).
This song is undeniably great and completely perfect for summer (and will be available on iTunes by tomorrow); it's going to be one of the main tracks keeping me awake during my trip to DC this weekend.
Cattle and Cane's latest EP, I Will Rise, was released June 24 and, as with the rest of their work, is pure and beautiful.
Their single, "I Will Rise", has clean vocals, a quick acoustic rhythm, and great lyrics (which leave a wide berth for self-interpretation). It has all the makings of a great indie folk song, and I find myself completely addicted to their sound (and their latest EP, which you can get now on iTunes).
If it looks like Forever 21 and Ann Taylor exploded, then Barnes & Noble threw some books around to decorate and you woke up with a dog toy and a Flight of the Conchords DVD box under your pillow, you need an awesome cleaning mix because your weekend off from work has become a cleaning weekend.
Seeing as how you're good enough at procrastinating that it has reached the point where you're going to have to spend the entire weekend doing nothing but cleaning, you need a good playlist to keep you focused and going until you've finished.
SafetySuit's music is timeless and, though I've done a post about them before (and mentioned them multiple times), they deserve a resurgence to the top of the blog page again; because they're really freaking awesome.
Listen to their music, fall in love with every song, then try to decide on a favorite (because I still can't decide; everything from "What If" and "Annie" to "You Don't See Me" and "Stranger" is amazing). The band is working towards another album release soon and I cannot wait to hear their new music.
Even though I never got too into Mayday Parade, I will never get enough of Go Radio. Lancaster's work is nothing if not gorgeous and this song and music video are both adorable; I love them.
LP's next album is scheduled to be released sometime before the end of the year and, with songs like "Forever for Now" and "Fighting With Myself" being recorded, I can't wait.
Her voice is gorgeous and, though I have said it (multiple times) before, see her live. If you think her voice is amazing recorded, it will give you goosebumps live. Besides, there's a good chance that you can stand right in front of the stage to hear her live now but, in a few years when everyone realizes how great she is, it's going to be crazy expensive to get a floor seat for her performances (words honestly cannot describe how great her live performances are).
Each song LP writes is filled with so much pure emotion it's intoxicating and I have no doubt that her new album will be amazing.
If, somehow, you still have not heard this song or seen this music video, do so now, because the video is fun and adorable and great for summer, and the song is perfection.
Just another reason why The Airborne Toxic Event is one of the most amazing bands ever (also, just another song they have failed to play at either one of their concerts I have attended. I guess I'll just have to keep seeing them live...).
That gorgeous instrumentation, which is such a staple in all of TATE's music, is perfect for this song; it's reminiscent of the Romantic era program music, in that the introductory notes evoke an image of a wedding scene (organized with a steady back beat, soft, and slowly beautiful), before the notes fall into a sort of disarray about a minute in when the chorus begins (the drum beat picks up, the back beat falters from its steady beginnings, and the dynamics crescendo) and, by the time those opening notes tumble back around two minutes in, you can hear some dissonance in the background, which only picks up as the song (or 'relationship') comes to an end.
Technical terms aside, the band is amazing simply because their lyrics ache with harsh truths. Lines like "this city is haunted by the ghosts of failure, I am one and you are one", "I picture you like snowflakes, like desperate pouring rain, like the beating of the drum in a parade of the insane", and "I'm not good enough for you, you were never good enough to me, no one's ever good enough to be, or have something so naive" are amazing, but that first chorus which simply states, "but I broke my hand on your car, when you told me you were leaving, and I begged for your forgiveness, my broken fingers bleeding, my heavy heart repeating the phrase 'just stay here with me'", is absolute perfection. I will never grow tired of the pure art this band creates. "Bride & Groom" The Airborne Toxic Event
If you caught Kodaline's Livestream, you got to see them answer a few questions and play some songs ("Love Like This", "High Hopes", "All I Want") live; they were all amazing. After missing out on seeing Kodaline open for The Airborne Toxic Event (though LEAGUES was a truly awesome opening band) during their U.S. tour, watching their performances on Livestream should be good enough to hold me over until the band returns to the U.S. to tour again. Though I love the band a lot, I think I may have to stop joking around with my sister on a few things. Making remarks about Garrigan being super attractive is one thing; having her exclaim "HE'S AFRAID OF ELEVATORS TOO!" is in it's own category of weirdness that edges towards creepy (also, who wouldn't be afraid of elevators? You're trapped in a small metal box that hangs from a few wires; not cool engineers). If you missed their Livestream (because their information doesn't circulate around the U.S. too quickly and I put that last post up a little late.. sorry) you can still go to this website (HERE) and watch it because the band is adorable and the songs are amazing. Listen to the band's acoustic version of "All I Want" for something gorgeous. - E
On principle, I have never had a Twitter account and I never planned on getting one; who really cares what you are thinking every second of every day. If sixty percent of the people around me knew what I was thinking at any given moment, I would have no friends (either because they're being awful or because I'm sitting here thinking about how I would rather get sun poisoning then fall down a flight of rough concrete stairs than sit here listening to your stories of how blue the water in Croatia was. Water is blue; everywhere. If the water in Croatia was purple, then I would want to hear about it [because that would be awesome and probably a sign of the end of the world and I have some great plans for the apocalypse]).
In light of some recent events though, I have decided to start a Twitter for the blog, if only to announce when new posts have been put up or to make it easier for you guys to talk to (at?) me (though you can still totally send emails because I like those and, more importantly, I understand how those work...). I am awful at using social networking sites correctly (i.e. apparently, you are supposed to change your facebook profile picture more often than once every two years; who knew?) and I am positive that I will, no doubt, fail at doing this thing correctly. If I fail to post updates or 'follow' you or whatever it's called, just know that, though I may look like a college student, I have the social networking skills of an eighty year old. I love you, I just don't know how to show it online (though I would totally hug you if I ever met you).
So bear with me as I try to get this figured out so I can share music with you guys a little more efficiently and I guess.. follow me? Maybe. Yeah. Follow Me. https://twitter.com/saniyacantik
Kodaline's latest album, In A Perfect World, was recently released and the band will be answering questions and performing some of their songs from the album during a Livestream today at 12:30 PM (Eastern time).
As the album remains unavailable in the US iTunes store I am going to take full advantage of this Livestream to hear some of the band's 'new' music.
Many of the songs off In A Perfect World track list have been released before (or were at least circulating around YouTube, like "Big Bad World") and, with great songs like "All I Want", "Love Like This", "High Hopes", "After the Fall", and "Pray" rounding out the album, I find some of the more harsh reviews of In A Perfect World difficult to believe; after all, Kodaline's lyrics never fail to hit you just right, their instrumentation is pure anthem rock, and Garrigan's vocals are too great to be ignored.
As of yet, my only problems with the album are that "The Answer" is not on it (unless it's a bonus track?) and that the album, titled In A Perfect World, is conspicuously void of "Perfect World"; two of the best Kodaline songs are missing from the band's first album and it's a little disappointing.
