So much has happened....

So much has happened since my previous post a few months ago, as you last heard I was living up the college life in Orlando with two roommates and one of those being my best friend. Well it sounds great but living on my own got way to expensive and I also was not getting the experience that I wanted out of moving away. (I may or may not have had too move involuntarily.) Then literally two days after getting back home with the family we are all forced to get out of that house in a 24 hour period, which sounded almost next to impossible but from the great help from friends and family we did it. Only after we were done did the previous land lord say we had an extra few days to pack, none of us were happy. So in the state of "homelessness" my family was stressed to it's maximum and did not know what too do. With the great help of family and friends we were able to stay in houses with them until we found a new home. By the end of October we all needed a break so I went too New York first too see my dad because he had been working a travel job since August to help get us by. Then in late November the rest of the family followed. I have always wanted to move back to Upstate New York since we left so this trip only helped and I decided too move back to the Empire State in June and finish my degree there. I had a wonderful time while up there and got too spend tons of time with my cousin Cheyanne, she is not only my cousin though I can consider her one of my best friends. (Although I don't admit it enough.)  I do regret that I did not get too visit a majority of my family while I was there, the main reason was transportation issues. So those of you who are reading this I am sorry and I will be sure to make it up too you when I get back up there. By the time the trip was over my family found a house and we were able too move in as soon as we got back. Now things seem to be getting back on track, I got my old job at target back, my dad has his degree as a nurse practitioner and only needs to take his qualifications test, after that he'll have a better paying job that he enjoys. I think that the biggest lesson I learned through out the past few months is that you can't avoid your problems they will catch up with you, and have a back up plan! Thank you for reading and I promise I will post more often and it will be more musically inclined!

Preserve the Sound! : Twin Forks.

Preserve the Sound! : Twin Forks.: Today I found out last month a band called Twin Forks had debuted an EP, and for those of you that don't know what EP stands for it is &...

Twin Forks.

Today I found out last month a band called Twin Forks had debuted an EP, and for those of you that don't know what EP stands for it is "a musical recording that contains more music than a single, but too short to qualify as a studio album." -Wiki.  I came across the EP because I went to the Dashboard Confessional website to check into their future tour dates and it popped up right before my eyes. I was confused so I continued to investigate this pop up and it was samples of music from the band Twin Forks. Which I then learned Dashboard Confessionals lead singer Chris Caraba "needed a creative break" from his previous alternative band and joined Suzie Zeldin, Jonathan Clark, and Ben Homola to create a band straying from the rock alternative and entering into the genre of folk. After listening to the samples I was pleasantly surprised and then downloaded them. I can compare Twin Forks music to The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, and one specific song (Scraping up the Pieces) reminds me of an Irish pub sort of song. Although I do hope Dashboard Confessional can get back together after Chris's "break" and hopefully make another album since their last album was released in 2009. Below I will add some links so you can check out Twin Forks new music! Thanks for reading!

Early Morning Posting.

Silly me, I stayed up all night. My future self will regret this in a few hours, and excuse me if i start to just blabber on. I have not written up on here in a while so I am just doing a little check in if people read this regularly (which is doubtful.) I am now located in Orlando because I was suppose to start classes here but that was a huge fail and college isn't just a few quick steps and your done, its you get to the next step and some sort of financial advisor says oops you missed one file from a meaningless source so now you have to wait 6-8 weeks for your information to go through. Anyway I am moving on from that and moving on from Orlando and my next stop is New York. I am originally from Fulton, NY a small city outside of Syracuse but that will not be my destination. My plan for right now is to go to Monroe Community College in Rochester to get some pre-recs done so when I am done there I can move to Upstate Medical University in Syracuse for a Bachelor's Degree in Diagnostic Sonography. Right at this moment that is my next four year plan and hopefully it can stay that way, but one MAJOR lesson I have learned is that plans change due to reasons you sometimes can't control so you learn to adapt and figure out a new plan. I will not be doing this trip alone I will be joined by current roommate/best friend and we'll be roomies at least until I am done at Monroe and I am glad I am not doing it alone or else I would probably not do it. (I can't take credit though for the New York plan it was Mckenna's original idea and after research I agreed to come with her.) The move will take place hopefully in January or sometime around the new year (but again plans change.) I am glad to be moving closer to my family I only see once in a while and will enjoy there company hopefully on a regular basis. Okay well I'll start doing music stuff and updates more. Bye.

Summer Half Time Review.

So today I had the idea to make a video at the end of summer and beginning of fall to explain some of the things that have influenced me during this fine and very hot season, but not only can I wait that long I am not going to be able to remember anything I have been influenced by at this time (the present). That is exactly what this post is for its sort of a mid summer review. So read on if you would like to see how I have been using my summer and you should take some of this as advice and let the next few subjects influence you!

Music:
Okay so first thing I have to talk about is the biggest thing that I have taken part in this summer and that is listening to music and drowning myself in it. I think the biggest music news of this year is the recent Fall Out Boy "reunion" album Save Rock and Roll. I do know that the album release was in April but the album is the most played on my "summer playlist". I do have to say that based on my taste a majority of the album was a 100 percent hit, but like every other album in the world there are some songs on there that I can listen too once or twice but then I start hitting the skip button on my iphone after that 3rd time playing. An example of the songs I enjoy the least on the album would be: Where did the Party Go, The Mighty Fall, and Death Valley. But with that said (getting the negative out of the way first,)  I can say that there are a lot of songs on the album that I will probably love forever! The three top songs in my opinion are: Alone Together, Young Volcanoes, and Save Rock and Roll (ft. Sir Elton John.) So if you have yet to check it out go ahead and listen to the album and by the time you are done reminiscing about the Fall Out Boy legacy you will be getting on itunes and downloading the album and falling in love with the music and lyrics almost as fast as I did.
Top Ten Summer Songs (outside of Fall Out Boy):
1. Rivers and Roads-The Head and the Heart
2. We Get High and Vampires Kiss-John Gold
3. Hold on-Alabama Shakes
4. Silly boy-The Blue Van
5. Blurred Lines-Robin Thicke
6. Miley Cyrus- We can't stop
7. Bon Iver- Skinny Love
8. Bobcaygeon-The Tragically Hip
9. Chocolate-The 1975
10. Avicii-Wake me Up

Websites:
This summer the tech side of me has really came out of its cocoon and I have found a ton of useful websites especially for a broke college student. So here are a few:

Ten Dollar Mall: 
This website is a HUGE life saver! It is a site that sells clothing, shoes, makeup, ect... for women, men, kids, and plus. The best part is that everything is under ten dollars hence the Ten Dollar Mall. I have already purchased at least 10 things from them and all of my clothes are great and the designers take a whole bunch of ideas from huge name brand stores and put them together to create a similar outfit that the "middle and lower classes" can afford. So if you want to get a lot of clothing for cheap go to 10 dollar mall!
Link: http://www.10dollarmall.com/

Target:
I have a specific theory that I stick too when it comes to Targets products because when things first come out it is very expensive in my opinion and the theory is "to just wait." This is because if you wait maybe a month the items you once loved but had to forget due to the price are now 30-70% off because they are on clearance due to a lot of different factors, including decrease in demand, over stocking, and there are new things coming in to replace the older now less expensive products.
Link: http://www.target.com/

Etsy: 
I have heard about the site etsy A LOT recently from people that rave about it so like the recommenders I was on Etsy and fell in love. You look through a whole catalog of subjects to find a product and the price is based on what you want due to its extensive filter when searching. I can say that 85 percent of the products sold on Etsy are homemade and thats why you are getting it so cheap because it is more of a private seller. But when you get the products from a private seller it has a very vintage feel to it and in my personal thoughts I think that vintage is an amazing look.
Link: http://www.etsy.com/

Songza: 
Not only is Songza a website but it is an amazing app that I use almost everyday. When signing onto Songza it shows a "concierge" of different and very specific times to listen to music pops up that ranges between Riding in the car to Late night party. Then after you choose your time in the concierge it brings you to the genre you would like to hear and then you can listen to thousands of playlist based on what you told the app you would like to listen too.

Well yeah that's it for now in the MIDSUMMER REVIEW!

My favorite thing?

         One of my favorite things in the world is when i find an exceptionally inspiring song that can change my whole mood in the 3 to 5 minutes its playing. Its the song I can listen too forever and every time i hear it there is a new meaning and the effect it has on me is even stronger than the previous time listening. It's sad because now a days it happens on very seldom occasions and it's usually not in with the "mainstream" music its a song i had to dig pretty deep for if its not on the dark path of youtube suggestions its in the background of a movie trailer, tv show, commercial, or feature film.  I think that the only inspiring song that was on the radio was My Body by Young the Giant, and even that was on a community channel that usually doesn't come in, it just happened to be where my car was parked that the radio signal caught the channel. But I thank that one unique channel because it introduced me to Young The Giant. 

A few (okay well more than a few) songs I found inspiring (but deffinately not all of them)
I hope some of you check these out and I also hope the songs have the same effect:
Jason Collett: Rave on Sad Songs
Violent Femmes: Good Felling
John Gold: Vampires Kiss
Passion Pit: Carried Away
A Fine Frenzy: Now Is The Start
Ellie Goulding: Anything Could Happen
Travis: Sing
Young the Giant: 12 Fingers
Coldplay: The Scientist, Fix You
Keane: Somewhere Only We Know
Radio Head: Creep, Fake Plastic Trees
Dashboard Confessional: Water and Bridges
Killers: All the things that I have done
Temper Trap: Sweet Dispositon
Nada Surf: Inside of Love
Hayley Taylor: No More Wishing
Modest Mouse: Float On
Mat Kearney: Nothing Left to Lose

New Blog Post!

Well, its been a while since I have updated so I shall post more often! Today I just want to say that I really miss high school... Not like the learning part but more of the organization of it. On a daily basis we had a place to be where we were able to talk and integrate with other people constantly. Now that its almost been a year since graduation I feel like the world had just flipped and the organization has just flew out the window. These days I wake up not knowing what I am going to do and just winging it and I end up wasting a lot of gas money. This is one of the reasons I strongly dislike the whole Sarasota area because it was built for the elderly and tourist, and for a young adult that's not fun. But soon it will change because I will be living in the hectic Orlando area with my best friend and her old friend and I feel like that will be the push I need to actually go out and do something. Speaking of Orlando we are going there for school and I am so confused about that one too. I would like to more than anything in the world to become a music supervisor. A music supervisor is the person that chooses the music too put into films, tv shows, commercials, games, ect...but yeah it sound like an amazing career to get into. The one problem is that I am always playing it safe, not only with choosing a career but with every thing....so what I am thinking as the safe way out is to get a degree as an ultrosound technician so I can have a job right out of college and then start working on the music supervision degree so I can have an income to be paying for the music school. I don't really see anything wrong with that but others disagree. So yeah that's my update and kids in high school enjoy it!

Cage the Elephant

Today's band is quite a popular one! If you haven't heard of them I hope its comfortable  under the rock you live under... Cage the Elephant is one of my favorites...Thinking about it I should have added them to my video.....But back to the band, I can listen to them whenever over and over again and the music never gets old! The band is very rock and they are very angry, but that is the best part of the band. If they didn't have the I'll tell you how I feel and I don't care what you think attitude the band would not be as good as they are.  My favorite song of their's would be "In One Ear," this is my favorite because its telling the world that they don't care what other people think like the song says: "It goes in one ear and right out the other." So go ahead and check them out if your one of the few that hasn't heard of them and for the others listen again, there are links below to the band and video!

Young the Giant!

This band was mentioned in my YouTube video of my list of favorite bands, and Young the Giant comes close to the first! I had originally heard the band on the radio with there first single My Body and I went maybe a week or so to figure out the bands name and other songs but once I did I listened to all of their songs off of their most recent self titled album....and fell truly in love! The band is in the indie genre so if you love indie rock be sure to check them out! My all time favorite song of theirs is a song called Strings, when the song first starts it sound like you are entering a Hawaiin party but then it instantly turns into the continuous strumming of the electric guitar which is almost hypnotizing use of instruments in the song is what makes this my favorite! Don't get me wrong the lead singer Sameer Gadiah does a great job in part of being the vocalist but this song would not make it too my favorites with out the power of the band behind him! I will post a link below and some other informative links about the band!

The band Official Site: http://www.youngthegiant.com

Now Is The Start!

     The title of this posting is actually a song by A Fine Frenzy off of their most recent album called Pines! I have to say that after watching the video I was inspired! So I decided to blog about it.... The reason for my inspiration because everything going on with lead singer Alison Sudol is exactly what I imagined doing while listeningto the song! It is a very happy expression where you want to forget all the bad things in life and just dance around like a lunatic! I can actually say I've done it a few times! So viewers please check it out I am sure it will lift your spirits..The link to the video is below also a few more links from the band!!!

Ps: You may also be familiar with the band if you have heard the song Almost Lover

Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors

This is a band I have recently started to listen too. It is a great band to listen too when reading, relaxing, or taking a Sunday drive. Drew Holcomb and Ellie Bannister Holcomb are married and are also the "lead" singers. I like the fact that they are married because it helps the chemistry between the band and also help keep the idea that the music means something to the artist because they also write their own music and its not just them singing off of a sheet of music that was written for them... I had first heard this band off of the popular television show (in which I am obsessed with) How I Met Your Mother.. The recent episode where Robin had the issue that her engagement ring was distracting the men around her from giving her attention in which she missed until at the end she looks at Barney and realizes that she only needs attention from Barney. I find a lot of great music from that show and it usually plays in the last 5 to 6 minutes when the characters come the realization of their wrongs and rights. But back to the band, I had my own little listening party and started with the song "What Would I do With Out You," and that was just the start. I attacked the recommended and still continuously listen to the band and have yet to find a song I absolutely dislike! So with that note I definitely recommend this band, but it may not fit into every bodies musically taste....so I don't expect every one to like it. Just wanted to share some info about Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors!
                    -Chelsea Palmer
P.s . Here is a link t my favorite song of theirs:

It's Official!

I signed the lease to move to Sterling Central in Orlando in August! It's a big step and at least I am going with people I know which will make it a bit better. I have a feeling skype is going to be a major thing used while living there to stay connected with the people in Sarasota! The first few weeks will be the worst and my friends and I already plan not to bother one another if Taylor Swift is on while some one is in the shower because that's a cue that some depressing stuff is going on in there. Sterling looks like a very nice place cosmetically but I have been reading into it and really the only complaints are things that are expected from an off campus apartments. (so not too worried). Well yeap really the most exciting thing that has happened today! I am going to bed! Goodnight probably the very few people reading this!

New video idk

Well... I am heading to the bet friends house today and we may get to uploading a new video with each other.... She also makes videos her youtube name is Mckennaleatv you should check it out! So yeah keep checking in and there may be a link up later!

First video is up and running!

Alrighty! I have finally uploaded a video and it is on YouTube! The link will be attached to this so go ahead and watch rate and subscribe! I really don't like the angle the camera was at while recording but I didn't feel like recording again because it is super late and I'm tired lol! But yeah I waned to have more of the front of my face than the side I think I am going to have to get an iphone tripod. If that exist? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hco47jW9Gak

Day Two

Alright who ever may be viewing.... this is day two in the blogisphere and there really is not much update.... I was lazy on my day off and should have taken advantage but I still have a few more hours left on this February 19, 2013 so there may be more of an update. I am thinking of taking a trip with my playlist up loud and give intake of my personal music interest.....hmm good idea! So a video will be uploaded hopefully by tonight! So going to go do that! Adios Amigos! 

Monday, February 18, 2013

Alrighty. So this is my first post as an official "blogger". I am pretty sure I am going to use this to share some videos I am going to be making, but there will be more. I really would like the videos to revolve around music (what I like, what the viewers like, whats new, upcoming releases, tour dates, tour info, ect.) But will also do a few make up reviews and tutorials. It would be great to get a base of subscribers, followers and what ever they call it when you blog. By the way I am Chelsea, I am 18, and ready to start blogging!
