I put together a new playlist on 8tracks that I'm loving. Whenever winter rolls around, I always find myself listening to shoegaze all day e'erday. I gathered my top shoegaze songs.

Gaze 'Til Dawn from marimars on 8tracks Radio.

Sometimes when I listen to my playlist, it plays on shuffle (I don't know if there's an option to fix that), but here's the original order of songs in the playlist:
. Black Tambourine - We Can't Be Friends
. My Bloody Valentine - Soon
. Catherine Wheel - Balloon
. Adorable - Glorious
. Thee Heavenly Music Association - Angelic Disorder
. The Verve - Star Sail
. Swervedriver - You Find It Everywhere
. Slowdive - When The Sun Hits
. Ride - Kaleidoscope
. The Raveonettes - She Owns The Streets
. Young Prisms - I Don't Get Much
. Medicine - Something Goes Wrong
. Pale Saints - Language Of Flowers
. Lilys - The Hermit Crab
. Chapterhouse - Pearl
. Shop Assistants - You Trip Me Up
. Sparklehorse - Piano Fire
. Gliss - Morning Light
. Tamaryn - Love Fade

Enjoy! I surely will, over and over again.

Happy Halloween!
Unfortunately it doesn't feel so much like Halloween here in New York due to Hurricane Sandy. Haven't spotted any young trick-or-treaters, and have to yet to hear the doorbell ring. This year will surely be a quiet Halloween, but at least there's a general consensus to postpone it. It's better to play it safe for the kids.

My family was truly lucky to have made it through the whole storm without losing power. Also being that my town is in the middle of Long Island, we didn't suffer from any flooding and whatnot. Although, waking up the morning after to watch all news reports and updates of the damage Sandy left behind was heartbreaking. I've never seen New York and New Jersey in this condition, ever. It's going to take quite a while for the Tri-state area to get back on its feet, but I know we can do it. My heart truly goes out to everyone who had suffered from this storm.

That being said, we shouldn't let Sandy suck all the fun out of our Halloween this year.
I put together a fun little playlist of songs to get me through Halloween '12. I hope you enjoy it!

I've been wanting to create playlists to post in the blog, but didn't know how to come about making it convenient and legal. I discovered 8tracks and signed up!

Here's my first playlist that I'm loving at the moment.
