Merry Happy

August 26, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Lavender lattes with Nams makes me merry happy. In two years of music blogging, I cannot believe I have not shared a Kate Nash tune. I often go months without listening to Kate, only to stumble across one of her gems and want to listen to nothing but this fiery Londoner for the next week. I might not have featured her, but Kate Nash did inspire the post “Because Kate Nash Said…” when she, personally (through her facebook fan page), […]

Hot Shots of 2012

December 18, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Since “Obsessed with 2011” went over so well last year, I decided to include the photos in this year’s roundup of favourites. 2012 had me bouncing all over, hence there is some location variation. I’ve probably gone through background of these shots in their original posts (which can be accessed by clicking on the photographs or their titles), so I won’t bore you and just let you get straight to the pics! Top 10 ‘Snapshots’ of 2012 10. On Returning: Alright… it’s a […]

Vancouver Lovin’

May 26, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

One year ago (less two and a half weeks) I posted about Moon Balloon and how she was floating her way across the country to brighten up the skies of Vancouver. Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting her, for a second time, in her beloved new city. Three days ago it was her birthday. Happy Birthday Nams! The photo above was surreptitiously snapped of the table beside us during our beachside dinner by English Bay. Nams particularly […]

Blurry Vancouver Lights at night

It’s a Force Field

March 4, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This song is slowly creeping its way into my favour. Anyone else unable to get it out of their heads? Tomorrow it will move to first place on my running playlist. This photo, taken from Granville Island after a seafood dinner with some of the greatest company one could ever ask for, is of light worms invading Vancouver. Watch out. “Feel So Close” by Calvin Harris

Phone!

December 14, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I’ve been living alone for the better part of six months now. It’s been going pretty well except yesterday, for the first time, I crossed a line- I started talking to myself. Or rather, what I should say was that I was talking to my phone. Is talking to inanimate objects better than talking to yourself? Doubtful. Regardless, these were not murmured internal ramblings, but full sentences at a conversational volume. If a girl talks in her apartment, and there’s no one […]

The Underdog

October 28, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Meet Rocky.  Rocky lives in Vancouver. Rocky is gorgeous. Rocky is fierce. Rocky was made for the camera. The photo here was taken by a Mr. Davidson at a high tea hosted by the ever-dashing Mr. Ting. It was well posh. The song, The Underdog has been used both wisely and unwisely by music supervisors in quite a number of projects. For instance, it’s used awesomely in Horrible Bosses, How I Met Your Mother, but awfully in 17 Again. There is an […]

Red ball on reflective water, cloud reflections

Making Mirrors

October 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Feel like having a xylophone song break your heart? Here is Belgian-Australian Gotye and Kiwi artist Kimbra, who will, with layers of synthesizers, cowbells, and xylophones, rhythmically give off a vibe that is both quirky and bleak. Gotye spent eight weeks at number one on the Australian charts this summer with this single off his 2011 album Making Mirrors. He is the first Australian act to do so since Savage Garden and their hit “Truly, Madly, Deeply” (a song that I still […]
