UHLEXL x COOLGURLKREW collabo 2011

HI GUYS. Below is a collab between Alex of UHLEXL and myself. We created collages with all our summer hopes and dreams and wrote a little bit about them. What are yours?

UHLEXL

CGK and I are always talking about our hopes and dreams for the summer so we decided to collage them. Let's hope they reach " Secret" status and come true! Everyday my hopes and dreams change, but these are important and have stayed at the top of my dream pile for a long time. Come along to Uhlexl and CGK dream land

1. Go camping in the Utah desert so I can get tan and swim in rivers.

2. Find A hot boyfriend that smokes and that will take me all over the world.
3. Own the whole entire Neil Barrett S12 and Matthew Miller F11 collections and wear them every day.
4. Get the A tattoo I've always wanted on my leg.
5. Go to Iceland and walk on Glaciers (if they have not melted by then).

Make my DrEaMs come True

ME ME ME ME ME MEMEMEMEMEME
I hope and dream all day every day, if you follow cgk you prob know that already. My summer hopes and dreams are different though, they are the most exciting and special for me. At the moment i've got at least a thousand HOPEZ AND DREAMZ but lets just focus on a random YET important five.

1. LIVE THE BEACH LIFESTYLE, TRAVEL TO THE BEACH, SWIM IN THE WATER, BRING THE HEAT AND ATTITUDE OF THE BEACH TO THIS STUPID GROSS AND RAINY CITY, AND FINALLY!... HAVE A MIND THAT IS CLEAR AS OCEAN WATERS!
2. BUY WATER GUNS! SHOOT CYCLISTS WITH WATER GUNS, THROW WATER BALLOONS AT THEIR WHEELS. I HOPE THIS WILL ENCOURAGE A NEW KIND OF FUN, SOMETHING MORE REAL!
3. BE AS BEAUTIFUL, AS COLORFUL, AS CAREFREE, AND AS JOYFUL AS ZEENAT AMAN!
4. MEET A HOT BRAZILIAN DREAM LOVER WHO'S BOTH LAID BACK AND PRODUCTIVE. HE WILL BUILD ME TREEHOUSES, MAKE ME DINNER, MIX CAIPIRINHAS, MAKE ME FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS, WATCH MOVIES WITH ME, LISTEN TO SWEET SICK MUSIC FOR HRS NOT MOVING, AND BE A GENTLEMAN!!!
5. HAVE A BABY IGUANA SIDEKICK
I love the summer, it brings out the best in everyone. The End.

Four Visions: B-Sides & Forgotten Poems

Last year I was introduced to Daniel Abary of Four Visions and Youth Castles(new shoe-gaze project) by my beautiful and wonderful then roommate and now BFF, glittervomit. Dan writes and records all sorts of cute folky songs, most are based off of really sweet poems he writes about girls he likes/liked. Once we were fb chatting about bright eyes or his music or something and he whipped out this really dramatic line and it was awesome"i just write songs so she could know i love her." I DIED. I then told him i would save it and use it for something and now i am!

I've downloaded most of the albums and thats not jsut cos hes cute and a friend, its because the music is way nice and dreamy! he has such a lovely/sad voice and i'm a moody girl. I listen to it and pretend i have a boyfriend/meaningful relationship or soemthing! you should totally listen to the "sea of twirls" song, i played it all the way home today!

"B-Sides & Forgotten Poems" is a collection of songs that didn't make it into the release I put out in October 2010 called "Poems." This release also contains a lot of older material I wrote in the past. Older songs like "Sea Of Twirls" were written and recorded when I was still in high school. "Spirit Fuck" is an example of improv on a friends garage band program whilst being 'sorta-drunk.' And "Graveyard Photos" is a terrible 'think-piece-poem-filler' i recorded on cassette (haha).

I always enjoy it when my favorite artists release b-sides and even demos to their listeners, so I thought it'd be rad to do just that.

You can tell there was a lot of experimentation in the past with my sound. I cringe and laugh at some of the vocals in these recordings.

As of now I'm taking a long break from writing acoustic/folk-esque stuff and working on a new project called Youth Castles. This kind of music bums me out.

released 08 February 2011 - All songs written and recorded by Daniel Abary. Violin is played by Claude Barnes in "I've Been Sleeping." Harmonica is played by Mike Ungano in "Spirit Fuck."
