Tag: 13 reasons why

A Wallow in Music

Hola everyone.

It’s Friday. Yeeeeey. I hope you’ve all had an amazing week and are now looking forward to the weekend. My week was pretty good, if I may say so. And something really cool happened – I “found” a new awesome band. I mean, I didn’t just discover it like a few days ago, but let me get back to the start and tell you the whole story.

.

So, if any of you guys have been on any social network the past few days, you may have noticed that there’s now a second season of 13 Reasons Why. It’s that Netflix series, that basically everyone seems to be completely obsessed with, although the reviews of the new season aren’t that good. Personally, I can’t critique it, as I haven’t seen it. And I know I’ve been obsessed with the first season just like everyone else, but in hindsight I kind of regret that and I have no desire or so to watch the next season. My friend Leni told me enough about it already that I know that I’m not going to be a social outcast if I haven’t fully watched it. Oh and if you’re asking yourself now who Leni is, she’s actually that friend I’m always talking about in my postings. She always texts me funny messages whenever she recognizes herself as that friend in my posts, so I guess the cat is out of the bag now. Leni, this is the internet. Internet, this is Leni.

.

So, now that we’ve dealt with that, let’s get back to the story I actually wanted to tell you. You’re probably thinking what the hell has that show got to do with the new band I’m falling in love with right now? Well, a lot. Seriously. If you’ve seen the show, you’ll probably know the actor Dylan Minnette, who plays Clay, the main character. At least that’s how I got to know this actor. And now imagine logging onto YouTube and having this guy’s face pop up on your feed. Of course you think it has to be related to the tv series, but no no no. It’s actually a video of a live performance by a band called Wallows, with Dylan as the lead singer. And of course you have to check it out, because who wouldn’t? And then you notice that this band is straight up amazing and the surprise is complete.

.

I mean, did you know that? Because I honestly had no idea that this guy was hiding such a massive musical talent. I’m actually shocked. But in a positive way, of course. So yeah guys, let me introduce you to this amazing Indie band, that I’ve been listening to nonstop the past few days – Wallows. And you know what’s the funniest part of this story? I already knew this band. That’s why I put the “found” at the beginning in quotation marks. But I had never really given them enough attention to fully acknowledge the awesomeness of their music, which I’m thankfully doing now. And thus, without further ado, here are my favorite tracks by this fantastic band. Please enjoy.

So yeah, here’s my special music treat of the week for you guys. I really hope that you do enjoy the songs by this supercool band. Also, it seems like they are still pretty much at the beginning of their career, just having released their debut EP, and I would be so happy to see them get more attention, as they truly deserve it. As always, please don’t hesitate to leave your comments and thoughts down below. Oh and I wish you all a great weekend and thanks for reading. x

13 Reasons Why

Hola everyone.

So I guess you probably already know what I’ll talking about today. Yes, it happened. After such a long time of fighting against it, Netflix has finally defeated me too. But I just had to give in. Do any of you guys own a twitter profile? Literally everything people were and still are talking about is this tv series “Thirteen Reasons Why”. And me being the movie and tv series fan I am, I just had to fall for it sooner or later.

.

So I downloaded it. I now have this free trial for one month – I won’t have it any longer I think, Amazon Prime and Sky should be enough – and it’s just the perfect amount of time for me to try out as much as I can. And right now, I’m kind of binge-watching 13 Reasons Why, of course. And I have to say, I really do like it. I haven’t read the book and usually I’m not into such teenage drama stuff, but this show really keeps me in front of the screen, wanting more and more.

.

I’m currently at episode 9 and craving to find out what Clay really did – no spoilers please. So far the show never happened to let me down or bore me, which is a really good sign. There’s just one critic point – the whole story. I mean, I know that the book and the show is about Hannah, but I sometimes think she really did take herself a little bit too important (please don’t kill me in the comments). I know why the other students sometimes say that she just wants attention. But on the other hand I’m so damn sorry for her and think “oh wow, it’s really important to be nice to people”. And I guess that’s what the book/show wants to tell us – just be kind to people. You never know what really goes on in their life so it’s always better to bring them happiness and not even more pain.

.

But I guess I’m already pretty late on this trend. If any of you have already seen it or read the book – what did you think? Oh and is the book better than the show? I’m really curious. And I’m really excited to watch the last 4 episodes, I can’t wait. Oh and guys, I really hope you enjoyed this short insight on what I’m enjoying tv-wise right now. And I hope you’re all doing well. And, as always, thanks for reading. x

Ps: What besides this one would you recommend me watching? Riverdale? Black Mirror? Please hit me up with some ideas guys. Thaaanks. x
