Music, Movies, TV

My watching/listening habits change all the time, especially depending on the season. On top of that, I would say I have a very...eclectic taste. Here's my recent picks: 

-Movies- 
 

Beasts of the Southern Wild 

Holy cow, this movie is moving, funny, inspiring and heartbreaking all at the same time. I would say it is a less artsy "Tree of Life." I hate crying in movies, it's a story for another time, but I'll just say that in this movie I was crying until the credits rolled at the end. Partly it was the story, but it was more because the lead character, Hushpuppy, was so damn talented and the score was so gorgeous and I knew that this was an up and coming director so it just made me so happy to think how proud he must be of this. Ok- I am stopping my pretentious rant, but go see this!! 

Then, on the other end of the spectrum, we have.... 

 

Katy Perry: Part of Me 

Yeah. I saw it, what are you gonna do about it? It was fluffy and sparkly, just the kind of movie you want to see in the summer. I've always thought Katy Perry was a cool chick, this movie reaffirmed it. The movie accomplishes its goal; making you smile and then want to go buy all of Katy Perry's music. 

-Music-

This is where it gets crazy ya'll. Here's what my spotify has looked like at work. 

Beach House 
Local Natives 
Best Coast 
Simon & Garfunkel 
Katy Perry 
Kid Cudi 
The Mama's & The Papas 
Daniel Tosh comedy albums 
Elton John 
Billy Joel 
No Doubt

I don't know why but I've really wanted to go back and listen to all the music my parents played for me when I was little. Thus, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel and Billy Joel. Duh I had to listen to my No Doubt albums since they just released their new single. Embarrassing story time: I was so obsessed with No Doubt that I bought a necklace from their website that boasted the words "Rock Steady" and wore it a lot.  

-TV- 

YOU GUYS. I am mooching off of Travis's Netflix account, finally! So here is my TV list. Again, random. 

The City 
Friday Night Lights 
Kell on Earth 


Yeah.
