Wednesday Music Playlist
It's that time of the week again.. Where I share about music, and what new bands, and even some old ones!
Let's get this party started, shall we?
It's no shock to anyone that I love AWOLNATION. The album is amazing! So, many great songs! It's real, the lyrics are real, and the vibe is kicking!
I have also spoke of the band Bear Hands. They have been around for a little while, but I think their music is way underplayed. The very first song on their album, Distraction, is absolutely awesome! It made the playlist for Charmed Destiny.
"This is not what the Gods made us for, sacrificial lambs.. Let the weaklings drown."
WOW! Those words are pretty deep!
"I'm a butcher the bible says so.. All caged up. Death to sacred cows."
This song has some lyrics that people may not have heard at first when listening, but that's some deep words. An underlying purpose.
This isn't to offend others, but the song is pretty dead on. That's why I chose it for the playlist of Charmed Destiny.
Most of the album is pretty freaking amazing!
Next would be a new band that sent me their music yesterday. Moderne. They sent me a link yesterday. I seriously liked it! They have an alternative sound, but also a new sound.
Okay, let's see what else I have in my bag of tricks today.
Meg Myers! How could I forget her? We found her on our favorite radio station, 96.5 The Buzz a while back. A long while back. Her album isn't actually out yet, but we have both of her EP's. Yeah, I like her that much.
Curbstomp I have used on the playlist, and am searching for what other songs from her that I could use.
She has a sound that no other female has right now. I am a big FAN!
I think that covers it today. I generally, listen to the music, and if I like it, I listen to it again. I love hearing the lyrics. It's what makes a song mean so much more to me.
Take the time, to listen to music. Find something that makes you feel.
Find music that makes your soul come alive. That's what it's all about in this life, right? Feeling, learning, loving...
In the words of Meg Myers.. "I am falling in deep to you, my love is after you.."

Playlist Wednesday...
I always look forward to this day for one simple reason.. Music. When I started writing about songs almost a year ago, I never knew so many people would love to read about the songs I use. When I started out on Twitter, I wanted to make sure that I got as many bands that I could, so I would have a wide variety of music. Then it just kind of exploded from there.
Now, I get music sent to me weekly, and asking about my blog. This blows me away. Here I am, just little ole' me, and people want to read my crazy words of wisdom. (Let's be honest, I just ramble about bullshit.) But, today is the day I always look forward to. It's just me and music. From Justin Timberlake, to bands you have never heard of, but most definitely should.
I did a mini interview yesterday with Alice Sweet Alice's front man. I want to share that all with you, today, and then another band. Here we go.
Me: What would you say your music is listed under?
ASA: Alternative, but we are more Alternative Rock.
Me:Are all of you from the Kansas City area?
ASA: Most are, except me, I am from San Fran.
Me:Cool, cool.
Me:Are all of you married? What's your band's ages?
ASA: 19-46
Me: WOW. That's a wide variety of ages.
Me:So, is there only one girl in the band, because on some of the tracks, a girl sings?
ASA: Yes, actually, there is two girls in the band.
Me: Do you have any gigs coming up?
ASA: Not really, we are just trying to write new lyrics and make music. We aren't looking to be famous, we just want to share our music with people.
This about sums up the conversation, but it was my first interview I did with a band. I was pretty stoked. Alice Sweet Alice, is pretty cool. I have now downloaded all their songs. Seriously, they sound like quite a few bands meshed together, but they are pretty darn good.
NOW, yesterday, I found out a band that I was really enjoying has decided to call it quits. I was upset by this. I found their music to be tunes that people should listen too. I have tried, I have asked, and I don't understand why they are done? I know it's hard for Indie bands, as it is for us, Indie Authors. BUT they have over seven thousand fans.. That's pretty darn good, for an Indie band. The song I loved I have listened to on repeat a couple of time today. The band is the Bedroom Hour. If you don't know them, then you should listen to their soundcloud on their twitter page. I felt like they were really going to make it. Of course, I am not in the music industry, and I have no real pull, but I can social media with the best of them.
The Bedroom Hour is from the United Kingdom, and even though, I am in the United States, doesn't mean I wouldn't pay for tickets to see them if they made the trip across the pond. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will rethink this option...
That's all I have for this Wednesday, for Indie bands.
AWOLNATION's album came out on Tuesday. You have got to pick that up as soon as you can. There is some great tunes on there. Seriously, check it out.
Alt-J is one of other favorite bands, and their 2nd album is killing it. It's a little different than their first one, but still good!
Muse (We know I am a huge fan) their next album is set to be released VERY soon! You can already, preorder their album, Drones, on Itunes, etc..
This will be a must own too, of course.
That's all for today, I look forward to next week, and more music!

Happy St. Paddy's Day
Today is Saint Patrick's Day. We could go into detail about why today is Saint Patrick's Day, blah blah blah.. But I feel at this point most people know the story. So, for me, it's a day to show my CELTIC pride!
When I started writing my second book, Enchanted Legacy, I knew I wanted to have a character based somewhat in Celtic heritage.. and thus the book has a Celtic roots as I do. It was exciting to share Celtic pride with people who may not understand it. My family comes from a long line of Celtic pride. Both sides of my family have Irish and Scottish roots, especially my father's side. We have traced our roots back to the 1400s. That's pretty damn far. We all know our clan name, where come from, and how our family got to America. It's something I am now teaching my children. Be proud of where we are from..
Something else exciting is happening today. AWOLNATION's album was released today! I would say I am obsessed, but I have a feeling that you already know that. I have been patiently waiting for today. There are two songs I have listened to on repeat quite a bit.. Windows, and Hollow Moon.
"Off in my head, lost, off in my head, lost.."
"Are we really safer in the shadows? Through the windows..."
These two sentences are in the song Windows, and I have sang it loudly.. How true is this? Are we really safer in the shadows? No, don't hide. Be yourself!
I hope today finds you with the wind at your back, and the sun shining on your face. -Dee-

Hump Day
Any of you ever wake up and think, This day is already on my list of bad ones, but then something changes.. You suddenly find out that it's not as bad as what you believe it may be. Then you feel a little softer around the edges. Well, that's how my day started today.
I am now ready for whatever is headed my way.
Yesterday, we talked about bands, and today we shall do that again. Also, we will talk about SWAG! No, I am not talking about your normal swag I mean as gifts, etc.
First things first, on my social media outlets today we are promoting what other sale. Whether it is cutting hair, nail designs, heck, even candles. We are promoting you, today. I wanted to give back to the people who follow me and help me throughout this journey. It seems only fair. I enjoy helping others, and when I get the chance, I try to do what I can. This is just one small step. Hopefully, there will be many ways I can repay you all back for what you do for me.
Second, MUSIC! We discuss ALL the time, how I can't live without tunes. That's not a lie. I couldn't write without it. I have been searching for Indie music groups on Twitter, and wow has the call be answered. I want to be honest, and I want to be polite. BUT I also want to be real. Not every band is my cup of tea, per say, but that doesn't mean that they aren't good.
For today, I will tell you about an Indie group, and then a big name group.
Puppet Rebellion is going to take the Indie world by storm. I just feel it. They were the first band that I ever listened to that was truly Indie, and they were the first band that made real contact with me. I enjoy their music. Definitely, check them out.
AWOLNATION, Man, I can't get enough of these guys!
If you know the song, Sail, then you and I can be friends.. If not, you must listen. They have a new single out, and man oh man, that song is amazeballs. Yes, you read that right. I said that word.
I would post videos today, but I am going to leave that till the weekend.
Alright, so today we have SWAG and two more bands for you to check out! What are you waiting for? GO! GO! GO!
Tell them I sent you. I have no idea why, but hey, at least they will know we all care, right. Isn't that what the Indie world is all about?
Caring is sharing. Haha. Talk to you soon, Dee

This is a conversation between Selene and Sebastian.
He laughs. "Oh, I see. You think that he will notice you?"
"What?"
"You think Alexander Zane is going to give you the time of day? If he does he is only doing that so he can get what he wants from you."
"How dare you! You don't know what your talking about?"
"Really? Because it looks like you are pretty into him?"
"No. No, I am just not into you."
Playlist for the party scene
Nightswim- Owl Eyes
Happy- Pharrell Williams
Talk Dirty-Jason Derulo and 2 Chainz
Say Something- A Great Big world
