New Year's Resolutions: 1. Get Organized

15 Jan 2012

 

  It's a new year and time for new resolutions! I inter alia want to get organized. But where do I take my motivation from? It's easy. Find a way to make your home more appealing to you, by decorating etc., so that it feels.. well, more 'worthy' to keep your things organized there. We bought new curtains and a few other things that made me feel 'home' eventually in my flat (after >2 yrs living here!).





First, I wanted to get rid of nails stuck in my wall to put my necklaces on them. It looked so ugly! So we went to IKEA and found these awesome hooks, put them on the wall, then I added two spare frames I still had on top, flipped my old calendar together so only the image is shown and voilą! (I still need to frame that calendar picture.. u_u)






I started by sorting out simple things, such as nail polishes, and neatly putting them in a nice box. I know that 'getting organized' is not about putting things in boxes, but if you really muck out you won't have stuff standing around, alluring dust.






See? An additional board on my wall and less stuff in my shelves. And it sort of looks nice. (I LOVE these Matryoshka figures!) ❤




What are your resolutions for this year?

Music of 2011

07 Jan 2012

     


2011 was a year full of great new music I've discovered. In this post I want to show you my Top 3 albums and Top 5 songs of last year. These are albums & songs I played over and over again, because they're so brilliant.

3. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds



A great album, full of songs to just lie down and listen. With a cup of tea and your favorite book. It sounds a bit like Zwan, but for those of you who know Oasis, you'll know that Noel's voice is much more powerful and deep. If you're a fan of indie-rock music, then this is your music.




2. Netsky - Netsky



A very catchy album for lovers of Drum'n'Bass music. I heard it once and then I was sort of addicted. ❤ 'Iron Heart', 'The Magic Russian Bottle', 'Pirate Bay', 'Gravity' and 'Escape' definitely should be on your to-do list!




1. Dope Stars Inc. - Ultrawired


Wow. Just wow. This has been my favorite album this year. I noticed quite late that there's something new from Dope Stars Inc. out there, and I missed a couple months of this great music! It's industrial-rock, sort of, and simply AWESOME. There are so many great tracks on this album, I don't want to list them all, except one: 'Lies Irae'. Just listen to it. Be amazed. It's my all-time-fave. If I'm not doing good persuasive work, this should get you to listen to it: It's available completely free and legal from the official Dope Stars Inc. web site (dopestarsinc.com).





5. Crookers - Dushi (Dr. Gonzo)
Nice electro music never gets old.


4. Pendulum - The Island Part I & II (Immersion)
Drum'n'Bass at its' finest.


3. Kraak & Smack - Dynamite (Electric Hustle)
(I know, it came out late 2010, but I haven't discovered it until mid-2011)
I would describe it as house-funk-stuff, really, REALLY awesome.


2. Animal Heart - Miami
A new band, nearly unknown, with a great noise-pop track. I'm listening to it over and over. Very catchy.


1. Dope Stars Inc. - Lies Irae (Ultrawired)
Industrial Rock. As mentioned above, possibly my most played song 2011. Great great great track.





What have been your favorite albums/songs this year?
