Good Band Alert: The Blondies
The Blondies

Members Simon Lunche (lead vocals and primary writer), Frank Klopotowski (bass), Jerry Feist (keyboard), Isaac Roth (guitar), and drummers Paul Davis (in studio) and Elias Williams (live performances) worked together to make their first self-produced track, Just Another Evening, which turned out fantastic. I recently had a brief moment speak with them while they were on tour and the following is our interview.

Q: Who are some of your biggest musical inspirations?

A: "Biggest musical inspirations would be The Beatles (all of them), Jeff Buckley. All amazing songwriters. The Beatles were so creative in their recording practices as well."

Q: What do you hope to accomplish with your music?

A: "We hope to give a voice to all those people out there who have feelings that they don't feel comfortable expressing. We also want to help people to feel something, whether it be a feeling of freedom, sadness, relief, happiness. We hope to take our music to the world. We'd like as many people to experience it as possible."

Q: What is your creative process when you guys are putting music together?

A: "Simon is the songwriter, he writes all of the music and the lyrics. When he has come up with a basic concept he brings it to the other members of the band and tells them what kind of feel he wants to evoke, usually with very specific beats, baselines, and solos. Then we all tighten up the instrumentals as a group."

The Blondies are an exceptionally talented group and surely have the potential to make themselves a house hold name. Their music is a refreshing new sound with old school vibes and is definitely worth a listen.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
