Rocking Out: Radvent journal Dec. 5

Posted on 05. Dec, 2010 by Princess Lasertron in inspiration, radvent

with two of my good friends, jen and jenny!

Radvent is a daily advent journaling project that I created to do some self-exploration during the holiday season and you are all invited to participate! Dozens of you have already shared your entries through facebook, flickr, and your own personal blogs and websites, and I think you are so awesome and brave for putting yourselves out there. It’s day 5 and I love this one! We’ve already looked at remembering, organizing, writing, forgiving, and today is all about rocking out.

Write down the soundtrack of your year so far. Play it for someone who loves you.

I haven’t made a playlist in like two years! I spend so much time sitting at my desk or running around town in my car that I mostly rely on either Pandora or my radio. I know, I know, welcome to the 90s. I had a first generation iPod but I’ve never been much of an mp3 lover because downloading music is so expensive/inconvenient! In any case, I really enjoyed thinking about wrapping up my year in one playlist and spent way more time on this than I should have.

Princess Lasermix 2010

1. mind.in.a.box – 8 Bits

MIAB is one of my favorite artists and this is my favorite track from their new album, R.E.T.R.O.

2. Yelle – Je Veux Te Voir

This is the song that all of my models walked to in every runway show I did this year. I will never be over it.

3. Chromeo – Bonafide Lovin’

This song reminds me of the last few months that Dave and I would go out dancing before Alice came along. And I can’t help but groove to it. If I only knew how to moonwalk….

4. Rabbit! – Fall Into Love

Alice and I listen to a lot of Rabbit! and dance around the house together. I think they will continue to be a favorite band throughout her childhood and it all started in 2010.

5. DJ Khaled feat. Ludacris, Rick Ross, T-Pain & Snoop: All I Do Is Win

After we opened the doors of CAMP this year and started filling dress orders, this song got quite a bit of airplay in my studio.

6. Usher feat. Jay-Z – Hot Toddy

My summer windows-down anthem.

7. Kylie Minogue – Get Out of my Way

Another super lady empowerment anthem for 2010, which totally fueled my projects and ambitions throughout this year. Besides, it’s Kylie! Bow down, Lady Gaga!

8. The Pixies – Here Comes Your Man

This year I made two wonderful new friends who invited me to see The Pixies, where we sat in the FRONT ROW in the VERY MIDDLE. I felt like hottt shit. It’s the only concert I went to this year and I listened to this band non-stop in high school.

9. mind.in.a.box – Amnesia

MIAB’s first three albums on repeat is Alice’s nighttime lullaby soundtrack. I would be remiss to not include another one of my favorites from them to round out my 2010 mix.
