I can honestly say that Santigold's We Buy Gold tour was one of the most fun concerts I've ever been to. Special thank you to my concert buddy Greg for the invite and ticket, as well as my fellow concert companions Adam and Bubba. Other than the 45 minute wait in the drink line, it was a perfect experience. So Golden!

When your best friend gets a new motorcycle, it's the definition of living vicariously to the max. Maxx Chromeo it's so great to know you! Vroom Vroom!
Miike Snow is one of my all time favorite bands. This month the Swedish indie pop band released their third studio album, and my ears couldn't be happier. (I've only waited for four years guys!) Let iit Snow! Favorite Tracks Include: Genghis Khan, My Trigger, For U, Over and Over, and Lonely Life.
When everyone's favorite Russian hooker comes to town you know I'd be there front and center. With a fist full of bills. Я люблю свою прекрасную Катя Замолодчикова!
The Real O'Neals chronicles the lives of a close-knit Chicago family with Catholic roots, whose personal secrets reveal their real lives and a reality check after they all reveal intimate secrets to each other. Based on the life of Dan Savage, the O'Neal clan is already one of my favorite families on TV. Another great show to add to your already full must watch list.
Four denizens in the world of high-finance predict the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000s, and decide to take on the big banks for their greed and lack of foresight. 'The Big Short approaches a serious, complicated subject with an impressive attention to detail -- and manages to deliver a well-acted, scathingly funny indictment of its real-life villains in the bargain.' -RT
Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are finding that modern life has them struggling with the mundane - like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts. What We Do In The Shadows is brought to you by the guys behind Flight of the Conchords (and starring one of them), so it was pretty much a guarantee that I'd love it. And I did! Hilarious and bloody good funny!
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me C is for cookie, that's good enough for me C is for cookie, that's good enough for me Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C. Oh and thanks the discovery of Ruby Snap, (Emily, I'm looking at YOU!) the diet has been cancelled. Nom nom nom!
She's been in the news and tabloids a lot lately but Gwen Stefani channeled all that drama into one amazing album. Her best work- if you ask me. This is what awesome sounds like! Favorite Tracks Include: Naughty, Make Me Like You, Used To Love You, You're My Favorite, Misery and Rare.
Two true LGBT tearjerkers had me grabbing for the Kleenex box this month. Freeheld tells the story of New Jersey police lieutenant, Laurel Hester, and her registered domestic partner, Stacie Andree, both battle to secure Hester's pension benefits when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer. And Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine is a film about the Matthew Shepard behind the headlines. An honest and intimate portrait of Matt as he is remembered by those who knew him, it is the story of loss, love, and grief that does not go away.
Granted it's cheesy and corny (to be fair, the same was probably said by adults watching the original series back in the day) but regardless, there really was something nostalgic and charming revisiting a family that played such a huge part of my childhood. (Hello Uncle Jesse!) And my nieces love Netflix's Fuller House today too. It's strange watching it with them in the bedroom in which I grew up. (Albeit on a much larger, thinner, less static-y TV.)
One of my favorite reality competition guilty-pleasures is back as a batch of new tattoo artists battle returning former competitors, with something to prove. Bring on the drama and bring on the ink! Bzzzz Bzzz Bzzzz.
Thanks in part to this month's Love List #1 experience, I discovered that Miss Santigold actually released a new album last month. How on Earth did I miss that?! Regardless, 99 Cents was on a loop. Favorite Tracks Include: Can't Get Enough of Myself, Walking in a Circle, Chasing Shadows, All I Got, and Rendezvous Girl.
Farewell Katniss Everdeen!
