Beautiful dirty rich

So I went to INCU in Paddington, Sydney yesterday with a friend because Top Shop recently opened up inside their store. I was super excited because Top Shop has the best clothes but I was greatly disappointed when i got there. The store was so small, it had hardly any clothes, hardly any sizes and their were no shoes! Although I did see my favourite pair of shoes in the world, Acne Atacoma Lace Up Wedge Ankle Boots! And for only $650 downstairs in INCU. I was in love the moment I saw them but I really have to save my money for 'more important things'. Although I can't really see anything more important than those shoes!

It's also my sister's 18Th birthday today so we've been drinking from 12:00am and are still going! But atleast theres a good variety. Bacchus Choc Whip Smoothie, Bacchus Cowboy shot set, Big bottle of Cowboy and Strawberry Wine Schnapps! Yummo.

And my Song Of The Day is:
Hearts A Mess by Gotye

Truly beautiful song. Meaningful lyrics, great music and his voice is gorgeous. Overall magnificent song.

Listen/Watch it right here!

Finally!

I'm going to the city tomorrow to go shopping in Top Shop.
This will be my first time going there and i'm sure i'm going to spends tons of money because Top Shop is my absolute #1 store.
And it is finally here in Australia! No more expensive shipping prices and horrible waiting.
Honestly can't wait. Will definetly blog about it tomorrow!

Also, thought i'd just add it into this post instead of making another one, Song of the day:

Taylor by Jack Johnson

For some reason, this song always makes me start swaying, even without my knowledge that i'm actually doing it, sometimes. It's a great catchy song with great rythm and tempo. The lyrics are beautiful and Jack's voice is so light and soothing. An overall fabulous song. And the video is hilarious!

Watch and listen right here!

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Song of the day:
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

Don't get me wrong, Leonard Cohen is amazing, but all i'm saying is, Jeff Buckley took his song, and sung it in his own way, at his own tempo and with his own passion and spirit. And i've gotta say, it is a mighty good song.
Jeff Buckley, in my opinion covered this song the best out of the almost 200 artists who have tried. His angelic voice oozing through my speakers gloriously, gliding through the different pitches and ranges so effortlessly. Truely amazing. Go listen!

We are the Lost Loves

YOUNG HERETICS


"Young Heretics is the brainchild of Melbourne based duo, Kitty Hart and Matthew Wright (who left former band The Getaway Plan to pursue a full time role in YH), both with a love of warped pop music and sonic invention. The dual vocal attack incorporates theatrical soundscapes, driving beats and a massive selection of other instruments to create a dynamic and inventive sound that is sure to send shivers down your spine."



"Having written together for over 15 years, the musical chemistry between the two is evident throughout every aspect of their sound. Creatively and professionally beyond their years, the few shows they have performed have caused a huge stir amongst punters and industry alike."



"Previously known as The Rabbit and the wolf, Young Heretics have been well received by critics after the release of their EP entitled ‘The Dreamers E.P’ on August 31st. The pair are spending some time recording their debut album ,’We Are The Lost Loves’, which is due out in early 2010."



When at Coaster on the 12th of September, I saw Young Heretics play their show. Being an incredibly faithful The Getaway Plan fan, i expected the worst and decided to boycott Young Heretics before hearing any of their music. But I was very curious after reading such good reviews about them and decided to visit the stage they were playing at.



After much snarling and disgusted glances at the duo setting up, they began to play their set. Around half a minute into their first song, I was utterly amazed by the amazing sound coming from the speakers. My opinion of Young Heretics has been dramatically changed from that day on. Their grace and charisma is inspiring. Kitty Hart's voice and deep, intimate expressions keep you entranced. Even if you wanted to look away, you can't help but gaze in awe at her dramatic, elegant moves. Matthew keeps a calm yet deeply concentrated composure while playing the guitar or keyboard. You can tell these two are incredibly passionate about the music they're playing.



Kitty Hart has one of the most magnificent voices I have ever heard, it's so soft yet dramatic and hypnotising, pulling you in. Matthew too, has an incredible voice which adds so much depth and passion. The melody and beats in every single one of their songs is so entrancing and fits in with their heavenly voices like a jigsaw puzzle. Not to mention the incredibly deep, wonderful lyrics.



Not only are they a magnificent band, but the couple have amazing style and great personalities. Kitty has a wonderful bubbly charisma, you can't help but love her.
Matthew has a very kind way about him and leaves you feeling dazed.

Young Heretics are the band of 2010.
