My newest music obsession

Hola everyone.

Yep, I love music. And I need it in my life. Like, what would life be without music? Totally boring for sure (duh). So I try to bring as much music as I can in my life. I’m especially in love with Indie music from bands like Twenty One Pilots, Two Door Cinema Club or The 1975.

.

And of course I’m also crazy about concerts and festivals. Last year I went to my first festival – Sziget festival in Budapest. And it totally took my breath away, I was starstruck. That’s probably the reason why I look out for music festivals every day, like a crazy detective looking for proofs for a case. And how could it be otherwise, I found it. I found the most perfect festival ever – Reading festival in the UK.

.

It has literally the best lineup I’ve ever seen, with 6 of my favorite bands and Fall Out Boy as a headliner. Just to mention, I’d do A LOT of things just to finally see them live. Besides that I also saw a band that I knew a little from my Spotify mix. I knew I liked their kind of music, but I only knew one single song so I thought why not give it a try. And I wasn’t let down. So, I present to all of you amazing people out there, my new music aka band obsession – The Wombats.

..

So far I’ve listened to about 25 songs and spent my last week listening to only their music and I’m speechless. To be honest, there’s literally not one song that doesn’t sound like heaven to my ears. Seriously. I didn’t even know that this was even possible. But apparently it was.

.

I couldn’t be happier to have found that amazing band, every song is a gift for me, really. Their songs are full of life and happiness and they just make me totally happy. And besides that, the lyrics are amazing. Oh and one song is dedicated to the year 1996 which happens to be my year of birth, so thanks guys, I appreciate it. I can really just recommend the band and their music, so if any of you have share the same love as me for Indie music and cool bands, then please go and give them a try, you won’t regret it, I swear. I’ll also leave a link to my favorite song of them down below, so you can go and check it out.

.

I would be really really happy to hear from some of you who either know the band or who have the same taste in music as me or who just want to talk. I’m here, always. Until then, have fun with The Wombats and thanks for reading. x

And the Oscar goes to…

Hola everyone.

First of all I need to say something… YES LEO, YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!

.

I bet pretty much all of you have noticed that Hollywood celebrated the annual Oscar Awards last week and therefore know that Leonardo DiCaprio FINALLY won his so well deserved Oscar as best actor for his role in The Revenant.

.

I can’t say how happy I am for him. And overall, the Oscars are always a highlight of the year for me. This year, I watched the whole “show”, which means I stayed up until 6 am (stupid time difference). Me and two friends made a group on WhatsApp and texted the whole night and pretty much kept each other awake. And of course we betted who will win every time – I won most of the time.

.

I think this year the show was special, because there were so many important topics and issues were raised. Chris Rock – the host of this years show – talked about racism and diversity, Lady Gaga made a tribute to all the people out there who were sexually assaulted and Leo talked about climate change in his speech. In my opinion it’s amazing that such important people in the film industry talk about those issues on a night like this instead off acting like everything is perfect. I really loved that.

.

Apart from that I liked how they all made fun of each other. For example, when they showed a clip of The Revenant, they filmed parts of the audience afterwards and there was literally someone in a bear costume sitting in the audience – in the movie Leo fights a bear and I think kills him. All the little jokes showed that actors are really just like everyone else. They joke around, make fun of each other and are able to laugh about themselves, which is great.

..

The highlights of the night were the two awards for the best actor and the best picture. As already mentioned, Leo FINALLY won. You could really feel how he was longing for that little golden guy and how everyone else wanted him to win. When he went up to the stage, everyone in the audience stood up and cheered for him like crazy. And it was so cute how Kate Winslet looked up at him when he held his speech. To be honest, why can’t they just date? Like, they are perfect for each other. Really.

.

The last award of the night was the one for the best picture. I really really wanted the movie Spotlight to win, although literally everyone else said that The Revenant would win that one too. And then the moment came and Spotlight won. God, was I happy. Especially because of the topic the movie is about – sexual abuse by the church. I have to say I’m not really religious. I mean, I believe that there is something out there, like fate or destiny or guardian angels or whatever, but I never trusted people telling me that a man died, then rose again rom the dead, parted the sea and made a blind guy see again. That’s just something that I can’t believe, even if I want. But I know that there a lot of people out there who believe in all of that. Who worship the church and just shut their eyes from any scandals like sexual abuse. That’s why I think it’s amazing that a movie which is about that kind of topic won. I really can’t wait to watch it in the cinema.

.

Overall, the Oscars were as amazing as always and although I was nearly dying of tiredness, it was totally worth it. I can really only recommend watching it if you can, it’s truly something special and a highlight for movie maniacs like me.

.

If any of you want to chat a little bit about the Oscars or just movies at all, I’m here and happy to talk to you. Oh, and I’ll leave a link of both movies at the end of the post, so you go and check them out. And as always, thanks for reading. x
