Blood Red Shoes - Water

Bonjour, it's the brunette, and although I know that technically this week's theme is dance music. However, I just wanted to let you guys know about the new album by the Blood Red Shoes, Water, which was released today. Technically I wouldn't call this an album, it's more of an EP as it only consists of three songs: Red River, Black Distractions, and Idle Hands.
Anyways, I really liked their last album In Time to Voices (2012), especially 'Cold,' and the three new songs are much of the same style as the bands' previous debuts-Alternative Rock.
Although the alt. rock duo (Laura-Mary Carter on guitar and vocals, and Steven Ansell on drums and vocals) was formed in 2004, they produced their first full album in 2008, Box of Secrets.
The band's name came from a Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire musical, where a Rogers turned a white pair of shoes red with blood after practicing vigorously for the role.

Sorry for the genre switch, see ya next time with some dance music

Things

Hey there blonde here, it seems like recently all we have been posting on here has been announcements... But I have one more, than ill post a song, or review. We have about 415 blog views... We really want to become more popular and all of today I have been working on just that, for some reason I think that if I post on celebrities pages than we will get shoutouts. Bahaha like that will ever happen. But really please tell people you know who love music and connecting with relatable people. So that's all I will talk about on this sad excuse for a post. We are working very hard to smooth out the bumps on the blog. Until next time...

the adventurous adventures of blonde and brunette: #1

Bonjour, we are back from our hibernation. It's been a long week at school, filled with science fair, history tests (and french and math tests) and english projects galore. But now, we would like to introduce a new segment to our blog! We call it: The Adventurous Adventures of Blonde and Brunette, where we go places and do things and take pictures of it. Yesterday, we took a long bike ride, here are some photos of our adventure:
warning: there are many pictures, and please excuse the brunette's strange attire: she is wearing fuzzy socks and slides and a neon coat-no judging, it's clashtastic

Announcement!

Hello there, blonde typing it up today. So before this blog can really get anywhere brunette and I must have a conference about how to make what we post that much more amazing... Right now we are mainly music based (which is all right) but we feel like we need to offer more. So expect new things coming up this friday!

It's also punk week so punk music and trends and celebrity news is coming your way until Saturday!
Adios

Sotd: Beck

Hey there everyone, blonde here. So neither brunette OR I have been posting any songs of the day or anything for that matter on here. We felt pretty bad so I am here to fulfill your longing. Todays song is a nice transition from alternative to next weeks punk theme! So a few of might know a band by the name of Beck.
   Bek David Campbell ( Beck ) is a four-time platinum artist. The song i am choosing is a little ditty from "Odelay" (1996). "Where its at" almost borders on alternative hip hop, with it's two turntables and a microphone, and has an upbeat beat. "Sissyneck" is another song that might seem familiar to anybody, with an iconic whistle as an intro. I am going to keep this short, so go listen to the song or something, live an alternative life y'all! And we will see you in PUNK WEEK tomorrow!

sotd: what you know by two door cinema club

hey brunette's song of the day today. So my song today is What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club. It's a Northern Irish band formed in 2007. Although they came out with their first album Tourist History in 2010 where it was signed by an independent French label before being released in the US later that year. What You Know was their most popular song on that album. Although they actually recently came out with another album, Beacon (2012), which features some equally cool alternative songs that you should also check out.

Sotd: little black submarines

Hey there blonde here. So my song pick of the day, on this glorious alt. week, is Little Black Submarines by The Black Keys. The keys have been making music since the time of 2001. Just like yesterday, the band consists of two members, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. In 2002 they released their first album ' the big come up '. This band is helping with bringing back garage rock, now I personally consider them alternative because its alt. rock! So this song " little black submarines " is a track on their latest album "el camino". The song starts as a slow acoustic song about heartbreak and losing oneself in the blindness and sorrow of that. About 2 min. into the song it picks up with a classic rock beat. The whole mood and even tempo change, and Dan comes in with an awesome solo. This is a song I can listen to on repeat and it just flows from tempo to tempo and mood to mood. So that's my pick for the song of the day ( sotd ). Now go buy the whole album because its all amazing.
