Videos

In my Social Media class we had the requirement to upload videos to youtube. I didn't know what I wanted to record or upload so I decided to rummage though the files of my computer. I found a video that I made in my high school photography class. The assignment was a "photo story" and this is what My best friend Autumn and I came up with.
The song is Hahahaohhoho - Yellow Ostrich. I've been following Yellow Ostrich for years now from when he only had a few songs posted on Band Camp. Last summer I got the opportunity to see him at Outside Lands, and even meet and take a picture with him. He has a great voice and is a great performer.

HWY 1 Music

This song is the epitome of Big Sur, in fact it's even called Big Sur. Mason Jennings has such a great voice and awesome lyrics, his music just makes you feel good. This song will always remind me of cruising up the coast and listening to music. I love this song.

And then there's this song, which is just super chill and perfect for the drive.

Salmon Creek

With Spring break around the corner I am getting very excited to go home. I am from a tiny town in northern San Luis Obispo County called Cambria. Most people know of it because of the Hearst Castle which is a mere 5 miles from where I grew up. To say plainly, I grew up in a beautiful place. Being just south of Big Sur, my friends and I loved driving up the absolutely breathtaking coast and either going to the beach at Sand dollar or hiking on the many hikes Big Sur has to offer. It’s safe to say Big Sur is one of my favorite places in the world (so far!).

Since I’m excited about visiting some old hikes I thought I would write about one of my favorites, Salmon Creek. Salmon Creek is in southern Big Sur and has a quite the epic waterfall that flows heavily during the winter. 

The hike is heavily shaded by trees, the air is crisp and fresh, and the sights are amazing. I'd have to say my favorite times at Salmon creek is when we wear our bathing suits, throw on some old tennis shoes that we don’t mind getting wet/dirty, then follow the creek up as far as we want. We swim when the waters deep enough, bask on warm rocks, and climb around exploring. This type of hike is definitely reserved for summer time when it's warm enough. The water is always cold, but extra exxxtra cold during the winter.

 We even suited up and went in the water this January, it was freezing to say the least.

I can't wait to be cruising up hwy 1 with some of my best friends and good vibes. If you ever get the opportunity to visit Big Sur TAKE IT. You will not regret it.

XXYYXX

Some XXYYXX tunes to listen to. #yourwelcome

XXYYXX Show

This week I did not get the opportunity to go on a hike. Instead I got to attend an XXYYXX show at the DNA lounge in the city. I posted an XXYYXX song the other week, his music is brilliant.

His music is really chill but the vibe at the club was very energetic. It could have been the result of the large amounts of MDMA pumping through the majority of these hipsters veins, but it was probably because of the bass heavy pleasureful music XXYYXX bumps. Everyone was dancing and having a great time, it was a blast. XXYYXX is made up of Marcel Everett who is shockingly only 17 years old!! He is amazingly talented and his music is for a lack of a better word the epitome of chill. His heavy bass experimental sounds come together for relaxing yet groovin music and a great time. If he comes to the area again I am buying tickets no questions asked.

Songs to Accompany Bodega Head Hike

I dig this song. Been a Black Keys fan for a while now. I went through a month long phase where I listening to this song way too much. I still love it, hope it never gets old.

This song is a classic that I will always love. Telepopmusik produces some chill vibes. I love chillin to this music, its always perfectly calming and inspiring. I'm a sucker for pretty female vocals and these do not disappointing  The lyrics always seem to fit with how I feel. This song is gorgeous.
