lovelovelove: Jake Hart “What We Are Now”

31 Jul

Today I am chilling in one of my favorite cafes in NYC, getting some work done, anticipating the dance marathon that will be Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs tonight at Music Hall of Williamsburg, and still buzzing over the epic Bombay Bicycle Club show last night. My anthem for my coffee shop work-a-thon today is South London native Jake Hart‘s incredible track “What We Are Now”. Lucky for all of us, the track is available for free download on his soundcloud here. If you love the song as much as I do, make sure you download it now! Hope to see some of you at the TEED NY show tonight, meet me on the dance floor!

lovelovelove: mylifeinsound moves to NYC (for 2 days) Bombay Bicycle Club tonight, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs tomorrow!!!

30 Jul



Cheryl Dunn does NYC 2012 round 2! After playing a show in NYC last Thursday and a festival in Maine this weekend, my travel life is getting a ton of action all at once. Although I should be am exhausted, it’s like taking shots of Redbull every time I listen to a Bombay Bicycle Club or Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs song today at work. I have this work day to get through then I am off to NYC to see Bombay Bicycle Club live (for the 7th time) tonight at Webster Hall! I can’t wait, they are one of my favorite bands ever (if you couldn’t already tell) and they are so much fun to see live. Tomorrow I will be wreaking havoc in NY as well as posting some beloved memories from Firefly Music Festival. Tomorrow night, I am going to see Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs for the second time in NY at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, or Orlando Higginbottom, is my British dream part I & II. Talk about dance dream man! I cannot wait to get my dance on with him again tomorrow night before he goes to Lollapalooza this weekend.

By some miracle tickets are still available for both shows, so get your tickets here for Bombay Bicycle Club tonight and here to get your dance on with me at Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs tomorrow night!








*fun fact: “Household Goods” is my ringtone and the song I wake up to every morning.

Everyone is still buzzing from Firefly, the festival absolutely rocked this weekend. For me, the weekend involved me seeing some of my absolute favorite bands and musicians including Jack White, The Black Keys, Bombay Bicycle Club, Reptar, Yeasayer, Grouplove, Graffiti6, Modest Mouse and The Killers…and also sleeping in a van for 3 days, sneaking in hotels to get ready for the day, and dancing 10+ hours a day. AKA living the dream. I had so much fun seeing some of my favorite bands here are some photos I uploaded over the course of the incredible weekend on my Instagram (@mylifeinsound). If you missed Firefly this year, or are missing it already because you were there, a limited number of discounted tickets will be going on sale tomorrow at noon ET here for the 2013 Firefly Music Festival. The line up is to be announced, but if it is anything like the lineup this year, it is going to be RAD.

obsessed xx: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE XX RELEASE NEW SINGLE “ANGELS” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16 Jul


Well, 2012 has just rocked so hard so far, am I right? It seems that all of my favorite bands are coming out with new music, and when I saw The XX released this new song today I couldn’t click the link faster. The band stated on their Facebook account, “It’s been a long time since we’ve played you anything new. This song is called Angels, it is the first single from our new album, Coexist. We’ve been playing this song live recently, so it feels good to share with you the version we’ve been working on for so long. We hope you like it. xx The xx”. Of course, the song is just fucking gorgeous like you can expect from The XX. Check out “Angels” below, and look for the new album from The XX Coexist out September 10th (11th in the US):
