Welcome to My Zoo

I’m a sucker for a good bass line. This song by Glass Animals – an indie rock band from Oxford, England – delivers. When you grow up living with a sibling who plays the bass guitar non-stop, you cannot help but develop an ear for new, distinctive, groovy bass riffs. In fact, it is to your advantage to recommend new tracks to your sibling, otherwise you’re just stuck listening to “Aeroplane” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on repeat. I also […]

Beats on Repeat

June 30, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

We’re branching into something a little different at Snapshots and Needle Drops today. Beats on Repeat will be the periodic (re: whenever I feel like it) publication of my weekly musical obsessions. These are songs that I just can’t stop hitting replay on; the tracks I can’t get out of my head and, for whatever reason, will not get a Doodledrop of their own. Beats on Repeat will be featured pretty much solely on Snapshots and Needle Drops’ facebook page. So get […]

Moos and Grooves: Part Twos

May 6, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The adventure continues! After our first three acts, we decided that it wasn’t absolutely necessary to be in the crowd for Alpine. So we went out to pasture. Pas de <<moshing.>> SILENT DISCO. Amazing. You are given headphones and then get to flick back and forth between two live DJs vying for your aural attention. Most often one DJ would come out on top ie. when one played “Thrift Shop” or “Jump Around” (second playing of House of Pain that […]

Now or Never

December 11, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This cryptic post will make more sense in a few weeks. In the meantime, be sure to check back soon! I’ve got a lot planned for the final Doodledrops of 2012! A tune for cozy nights by the fire. P.S. This is a Pappleby recommended artist for those keeping track. Two Needle Drops in one month Pappleby! Nice work. “Let Her Go” by Passenger

Punk Over Pomp: London 2012

July 30, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

So the Games are well underway. The Opening Ceremonies for the London 2012 Olympics took place three days ago. Does that mean I’m too late to write about? Probably. Do I care? Not really. I love the Games. You can watch an entire day’s worth of events and almost feel like you had a vaguely athletic day. It’s also incredible how we all turn into sport aficionados passing judgement from the couch: “They started out too fast…” “Stick your landing!” “Ohhh that splash […]
