An Update

Just a tiny update on the life of Lyra.

I've been really busy lately (start of a new quarter and I'm taking way more classes, I'm sure the students out there feel it too), but I have a lot of big plans for the blog.

A few albums that recently came out that I've been meaning to get around to:

aaaaand something that may interest you SoCal readers here.


I've been getting a lot of emails commenting on the blog or asking me to listen to a band or artist.  I want to say: thank you!! It's great to hear from people, and I love hearing new music always.  So,  please keep emailing me and letting me know what you think!

The twitter has been working well too: thank you to all my followers and people shooting tweets to me.

In essence, I'm really glad with the way the blog has progressed, considering how recently I started it.  So I just want to say thanks to my readers.  You are all appreciated.

A Year in Review

Honestly, I am unimpressed.
BUT that's not to say there weren't some highlights! First time going to Coachella, Swedish House Mafia's final tour, and these albums definitely helped make it a great year, and one that won't be easily forgotten:

Gothic Tropic - Awesome Problems

9.

The ABIGAILS - Songs of Love and Despair

8.

Passion Pit - Gossamer

7. 

The Shins - Port of Morrow

6. 

Walk the Moon - Walk the Moon

5. 

Father John Misty - Fear Fun

4. 

Tame Impala - Lonerism

3. 

The XX - Coexist

2.

Minus the Bear - Infinity Overhead

1. 

Grimes - Visions

In One Year...

...and right out the other.

Happy New Year!

Sorry for the slight hiatus, been on vacation, but I promise more reviews are on their way (especially the obligatory "Best Albums of 2012")!

Got alotta new albums coming out pretty soon, like 13.0.0.0.0 (This Town Needs Guns) and Holy Fire (Foals), and a TON of old ones to listen to (spent way too much time at the record store this break...is that even possible?), plus concerts! Hopefully there'll be a concert review up within the next few days (if plans go well).

So get excited, take it easy, and stay classy.
