if i had a quarter...

and if people weren't watching, i would've ridden one of these.


anyone hear about the topshop opening a week from today?
um hey santigold santogold and mark ronson.

i'm missing all the good shows this week because i'm a minor.
all of my friends are turning 18 without me.

dear hipster runoff, you are fantastic. love, devyn

so now i know that i'm not the only person who doesn't "get" no age.
and i know i should feel the same way about wavves as you stated in your last post, because they're both that lofi punk shit, but nathan is just so gosh darn flippin cute, that i might waste a whole $8 to see him at market hotel next weekend ... or not.
i heard he's better live? but as you said, he's "just a chill guy who plays gigs in comfortable sportswear" ... i might believe that. i do believe that.
maybe he really DOES only have one good song.
poor kid. he has nice hair.

anyways, i was passing by some magazine store in the city today as i saw in the display alternating covers of fader. zach condon of beirut on one cover and natasha khan of bat for lashes on the other. i ran inside only to find that all of the issues had bat for lashes. i went to the window, pulled out one with zach's face, then realized it was a double cover. zach on one side, natasha on the other.
oh danggggggg shits, i got so excited. you get both! in one issue! how exciting is that?!?!?? but of course, zach is far more exciting, even though he looks old and fat now. maybe because he's most definitely married to granola face.
ahemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.



we also picked up the latest issue of bust with lily allen on the front, which made me remember how much natasha khan and lily look alike, and it was totally [not] funny because we were getting one magazine with lily on the front and one with natasha on the front. ha .. yess.
i honestly think they're twins separated at birth, only natasha has a piggier nose.



really?


oh, and this! they're in the SAME magazine!
if i was retarded, i would think there were just two pictures of lily on the contents page of bust. why would they put them next to each other? oh and don't mind my two boyfriends also on the same page.






ok, so obviously lily allen is more tan, and her boobs are slightly larger, but they most definitely have similar facial features ... so weird.

we purchased our magazines, then as we were walking out, we saw this in the window:

i cannot express enough how much i DESPISE the teenagers and this asshole.
he's so disrespectful and horrible. how can anyone appreciate the teenagers?
nothing about them is appealing.
clearly, you are deaf or tasteless if you think they make good music.
can you even call it music?

we then continued on to get a slurpie and sit on a bench.
i took a picture of a tree.


p.s.
IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE HIKING SANDALS!

for real?

p.p.s.
NEW YORK NOISE IS ON BUT CHANNEL 25 DOESN'T WORK!!

texas

is obviously the place to be right now considering every music loving person who hasn't yet been struck by the recession is on their way to austin right now.
oh sxsw, how i'd love to be there and party until my brains leak out of my ears.
everywhere i turn, i feel like everyone is just trying to remind me that i'm missing out for the millionth time.
i've told myself since freshman year that i'd definitely go my senior year.
i'm only a year away from bliss.
besides, what's sxsw without matt and kim?
hopefully someone will spit out some face value tickets by the end of the week, and i'll go see them and pretend we're in texas.

speaking of texas, good music schools there. i need to look into that. i have a meeting with my guidance counselor about schools tomorrow. i get to miss history for that! yay!

i'm rethinking the berklee school of music in boston ... apparently, it's a factory that turns mediocre musicians into dropouts and extremely talented musicians into robots. i believe that. i really do, and i don't want to waste my money on some "big name" shit school ... we all know kids just end up there because they're a bunch of rich yuppies who have been playing since they were 5, but don't necessarily enjoy it.
i'd rather go somewhere where i can enjoy what i do, have good relationships with my educators and excel as a committed and passionate musician.
... oh, and i need to be able to minor in music photo journalism.

why am i thinking about college now?

monday update.

the worst day of the week.
just found out alkaline trio is already sold out.
i was really looking forward to shooting that show. no luck, i guess.
they were my favorite band in the 8th grade ... haven't seen them since the summer after freshman year.
i'm not devastated though. i'd probably be too lazy to go out on a sunday night anyway.

still haven't found tickets for cut copy and matt & kim.
this has just been a bad month for shows, i guess.
i've been to a total of ONE in a span of two weeks and two days.
and the one i went to wasn't even fantastic.

tomorrow is saint patrick's day. wear green to school?
nah, i'll wear yellow and blue and tell the nuns that if you shake me, i'll turn green.

today is a lazy day. this blog will probably be followed by a nap ... then some essay revising and writing.

dear kevin barnes, you make me want to paint my nails. love, devyn

i was just thinking about how of montreal is coming back in exactly a month!
i am so excited, it's ridiculous.
it's already in the running for best show of the year ... i just know it'll be that good.



i'm gonna go paint my nails gold.

someone buy me this hoodie:
