Nadinoo Does It Again!

Winter

If I had an ideal winter colour palette, I would definitely fashion it off those 7 lil' men. They got it going ohn!

Day 2: Bowie

So, the first two days of my 30 day challenge have been dominated by David Bowie because my Dad has almost the entire backlog for me to get through - Thanks Pappy. I thought I’d start here because Bowie is an artist that I know was a big deal, but hadn’t ever been bothered getting into. I surprised myself that I knew a handful of his songs, but to my discredit, I only knew bits of the choruses from movies. Fashion, Let’s Dance, China Girl, Dancing In The Street, Diamond Dogs, all from my favourite movies like The Wedding Singer, Zoolander, etc. I really liked some songs, and others were unbearable! I was working in the shop when a customer came in and I was listening to Thursday’s Child.. UGH! Don’t check it out. It’s horrible. Needless to say, I was embarressed.

Anyways, he’s a good time and for those who are interested, my picks are China Girl and Ziggy Stardust. But listening to him play Z.S live, it seems a lil’ blues-rock-try-hard-y, so maybe I just like it’s production value on the album? Dunno Joe!

I’m excited to warm myself into some more of his other stuff and not just the 3 Best Of albums I’ve been chugging through.

And lastly, thanks for reading so far! ‘ppreciate it. Heh

30 Days, 30 Years - A Challenge!

Starting April, I am doing something CRAZY different. I am going to dedicate the 30 days to listening to music from (at least) 30 years ago!

I wanna do this ‘cause I am curious to see how the music affects my songwriting. I once heard someone say, to make original(-ish) music you have to go back to the beginnings and go from there. I don’t know if that’s true, and 30 years isn’t quite “the beginnings”, but we’ll see what happens.

So, my rules are:
- 1st - 30th of April
- 1981 is my cut off year. (Unfortunately The Smiths don’t make the cut. Aw man!)

Exceptions are:
- Classes: I study music, so no doubt I will have to listen and play things outside of the challenge
- Friends: I won’t dominate my friends stereos if they don’t want to partake or push it if they have had enough of my tunez.

Exciting! This is going to be me soon:

(The wagging finger is probably me telling you that I’m way more legit. 2legit2quit.)

This blog is a good way to see how it’s going, so ‘follow’ if you like! Also, if you feel the urge, challenge yourself as well! It’ll be nice to do it with other people to share our new ‘indie’, ‘vintage’ faves! LAWL

So, as The Cars say: Let the good times roll.

I Have A Tumblr

And it's where I blog! So, just head over there for some good times.

I Need To Work On My Radio Voice

For those who missed my KIWI FM interview, listen now. We have a lil' chat and I play three unwarmed-up-but-non-the-less-lovely, original songs. However, my guitar is very quiet and sounds like the strings are stuffed with cotton wool! So.. apologies for that one. Heh.

By the way, pleasure to meet you!
