Gianluca’s Playlist: February 2011

I didn’t forget I knew I had to include Esperanza in this month’s list. I watched the Grammies, or this year the Lullabies, and Esperanza won the Grammy for best new artist, and rightfully so. Justin Bieber’s fans are so mad at her. But keep in mind the award is for best NEW artist. Justin Bieber’s been around awhile and plus, he already got a VMA for that. I also fell in love with Skylar Gray after she performed with Eminem and Dr. Dre, even though I couldn’t see her. That’s really rude, you couldn’t even make out who she was… I thought it was Avril Lavigne the whole time. Also, Janelle Monae performed with Bruno Mars and Bob, which was awesome because her performances are fun to watch. She’s so wild and cool. So here we go, my list for this month:

1. Neon Hitch – “Get Over U”

2. Diddy Money and Skylar Grey – “I’m Coming Home”

3. Esperanza Spalding – “Little Fly”

4. Kanye West – “All of the Lights” (this was in my December list, but the real version just came out last week)

5. Yellowcard – “For You and Your Denial”

6. Sleigh Bells – “Rill Rill”

7. PMMP – “Viimeinen valitusviri”

8. Jessie J – “Price Tag”

9. Janelle Monae – “Cold War”

10. Swedish House Mafia – “One (Your Name)”

Insomniac

When insomnia is bestowed upon you

and you curl up in bed attempting to sleep

Screaming and shrieking,

When does reality finally turn into dreams?

How can I get any rest when my negative thoughts

That I cannot tell anyone

Become a morbid obsession

Rooted in desperation, sorrow and guilt?

Gianluca’s Playlist: January 2011

My playlist for this month. MIA released a new mixtape and I would like to make this playlist just all of her songs. best.mixtape.ever. However, I heard so many other good songs throughout the rest of December and in January. Pink is #1 because I saw the video for her song just today and it was so emotionally moving and inspiring. It was… perfect. Also, Kelis’ song “Brave” was awesome… a big change from her “Milkshake” days.

1. Pink – “F***ing Perfect”

2. Chromeo – “Hot Mess”

3. Kerli – “Army of Love”

4. MIA – “Marsha/Britney”

5. Jessie J – “Do it Like a Dude”

6. Kelis – “Brave”

7. Benny Benassi, apl.de.ap, Kelis, and Jean Baptiste – “Spaceship”

8. Adele – “Rolling in the Deep”

9. Robyn – “Call Your Girlfriend”

10. Justin Bieber – “Pray”

Homemade Bubble Goth Ring

Made as a tribute to Kerli and her new style of music, inspired by the Tea Party music video.

I used a Japanese eraser, dollar store rhinestones (for moonmarks) and a ring my friend gave me that she found on the floor of her car. Oh and I used hot glue and then AC Moore tacky glue for the rhinestones.

my apologies for the bad quality of the photo but you get the idea. It is a cake with a strawberry (and made of rubber). coolest things ever…

 

The ring that inspired mine is on Kerli's right hand!

Asexual BFF Revival!!!!

I haven’t looked at Asexual BFF since Valentine’s Day, but I had decided to do it at a recent poetry reading… and the audience loved it! I finally got around to combining it with an original photo with mine by editing on Picnik as I always do nowadays.

And as my friend Adina has told me today, I haven’t made any new posts in a while. I have been working so much and I haven’t written in a while. But I’ve been inspired by so many things so I am planning to write some new poems and make some magic. Some serious, some for shits and giggles. give me some time guys.

lots of love.

CAPS LOCK

inspired by the internet.

Teenage Love Affair (XO)

This is inspired by a special friend of mine. Just for shits and giggles. and yes I know i haven’t been on in a while. but u know… I had homework! lol.

vox poetica’s prompts page

is featuring a photo that I took (the picture of the ocean, which is the header of the website). I feel like I did too much, between the artwork and now the photo! But it gets worse. also there is an original poem that I wrote called “Scarlett’s Lament” and it is one of the best things I have ever written. EVVVERRRRR!!!!!

so please go to http://voxpoetica.com/prompts and check out my photo, and maybe even write a poem for it… I’m not trying to be pushy but maybe I’m coming off as that so I’ll just stop. ^_^
