i'm cheekie albay, a 29-year-old writer, entrepreneur, music freak, reformed party girl, and erstwhile chemistry major (true story).
for every moment in my life, there's a song on my mind. whether i'm heading to a party, being bored out of my wits, crushing on a new guy, attacking a sandwich, or crushing on a new guy while attacking a sandwich, i'm humming in my head.
The Watson Twins - “Just Like Heaven” (The Cure cover, off Fire Songs, 2008) Today, someone told me that I follow hipster trends in music, the electro craze in particular. This is true, but only to a certain degree. I also love listening to quiet, folksy tunes like this, especially during moments when I’m working facing the bay windows and the sound of raindrops softly pattering on wet, glassy surfaces mingles with a duet of light-as-air guitar strums and lilting harmonica sighs to drown out every other waking sound in the distance. Like this moment. In other news, I have two more Cure covers worth checking out: one by The Postmarks doing “Six Different Ways”, and another by Mystery Jets and Esser doing “In Between Days”. Sweet dreams, everyone.
