Lately, I've obviously been on that electro/trance/house shit but sometimes I'm blessed with a dope track from either alannah or... alannah lol that isn't made by a DJ. Here's what's on heavy rotation for me.
[Lykke Li]
I've never been into an indie chick and would pick a r&b, blackwashed asian chick over a pale, stripe-layering white girl without even thinking. BUTT! Ms. Li is a "haha Trino has to swallow his words" exception. I find her voice, her hair, her frame and her overall steeez embarrassingly attractive. I show her to a bunch of my homies and I get the same reaction: "A white girl? Why da fuck she so pale?". Well fudge you guys lol She's dope. And so is her music :)
*Little Bit - Lykke Li

I can't get enough of this song and all it's remixes. Through her celebrated voice and attitude, Lykke basically toys with a boy and his emotions by telling him it's okay to completely fall in love with her and commit himself fully to her when she thinks she loves him only "a little bit" :) dopeness
*Little Bit - Lykke Li (Death to the Throne Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc8j1C0OlVQ
Came across this while watching a Steve Aoki documentary. I believe it's the best version of the song. "I'm not in love! I'm not in love!" haha dopeness
*Little Bit Remix - Lykke Li ft. Drake
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-TKfmtyCyc
I love drake and this song is okay, BUTT I hate when artists, especially rappers, remix an already AMAZING song just so they can put their own spin on it. Like give credit to the original creator of the track by leaving it be :) gayness
*Until We Bleed - Kleerup ft. Lykke Li
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rGvq3cdJkk
lyrics... dopeness :)
[Smokey Robinson]
*You've Really Got a Hold on Me - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdDnqSFYXFs
And I thought trance songs were the best break-up songs haha Good thing I found this one when I was over my previous break-up. Cuz if I heard this before then, oh boy lol
[Gym Repeat]
*My Otherside - Benny Benassi

[Throwback]
*One Mic - Nas

Vacuum of Perfection
Funny how Winter's grey grip
Finally takes its familiar hold
As his fair lady's blanket
Begins to unfold
Awake those sleepless mornings
His apologies grew old
While this ageless summer boy
Starts to feel a new cold
Ripped from his heart
His once warm hands; now eyeless
Feeling through the dark
Trying to find emotion in her silence
Because streetlights don't talk
But he knows they'll never leave
So he walks to stay awake
So he walks just to breathe
For with his daylight eyes closed
He's pulled back against his will
To a time when he was forgiven
When his words were the last to kill
When he knew he was bigger than the ocean
Even against his endless waves
When he was the western sun in her sky
And the light through her caves
So he smiles the night away
From memory to memory
And to every one that he meets
He begs, "Remember me, please remember me"
But the foolish little boy
Keeps his dreams burning bright
Even when his friends tell him
They'll be gone at the end of the night
So just one more block
He walks his path of no direction
Because he'd rather be lost
Than found in the vacuum of perfection
-Yours Truly :)
Written I think a month ago. Just found in my blackberry's memo pad lol And remember, I am not an English major (yet) so pardon the god awful poetic structure. I just think the world would be a happier place if people wrote poetry instead of cried.

Will Probably Fail
For someone who's quite determined and goal-driven, it's ironic I'd have this attitude towards my reapplication to this whole blogging biznass lol I definitely want to start up again and try to get in a post everyday or every other day, but we all know I'm just going to get sidetracked a week from now after I realize I have only one viewer/follower (thank you tanya! you're the best). But I say "fudge it". So here it goes.
