LOWLANDS

GUYZ! I HAVE HAD THE BEST WEEKEND OF THIS YEAR! LOWLANDS! OMG IT WAS PERFECT! JUST PERFECT!
We had to wait 2 hours for a freaking bus, 4 hours for the lowlands-bracelets (which are fucking ugly btw) and it rained a lot on our first day, but the next three days made up for that.
I can't really explain why i feel so good @ Lowlands, it just makes me feel at home. The music, the atmosphere, the people, just everything is good!
My favourites this weekend were: Crystal Castles, Fleet Foxes, Skrillex, Omar Souleyman and Emalkay.

So.. Crystal Castles. Sat there an hour before they began, but hey! At least we stood in the middle, at the fence, which is completely at the front. They started 15 minutes too late and ended 5 minutes too early, but their show is so great! Creepy, intimidating, dark. Perfect. I even touched Alice Glass' hand!

Then Fleet Foxes. Again, sat there an hour before they begain and again stood at the fence. They were very modest. When they came on stage, everyone clapped and they couldn't believe the reaction of the people was so good. I don't know why this is, because their music is beautiful. And live is even better! Goosebumps throughout the whole show.

Skrillex. YES OH MY GOD! This is what you can hear in one of his songs and this explains my thoughts about the show completely. That was the biggest party i had ever seen, fucking hell. Everyone was covered in sweat from head to toe. My shirt was wet, just soaking wet. I love Skrillex, he brings so much energy on stage and people pick it up and go crazy.

Omar Souleyman. I went there as a joke, but it turned out to be amazing! He is from Syria and gets to play on a lot of weddings and parties there. When i saw he was coming to Lowlands, i thought: WHAT THE HELL? Then i listened to the music and thought: why not check it out just for fun? Well it was fun, a lot of fun! The whole x-ray was loaded and everyone had a blast!

And last but not least, Emalkay. One of my favourite dubstep producers and the last artist to play in the x-ray. I thought this was going to be amazing and i was right! I love his music and it was so good live.

The Drug In Me Is You

You guys know how much i love Ronnie Radke, right? Well, his new band Falling In Reverse released their debut Album! It's called The Drug In Me Is You.
I L-O-V-E the album! It's energetic, has great guitar-riffs and ofcourse Ronnie's voice is making me a typical fangirl again *squeels*.

One of my favourite songs of the album:

This is called I'm Not A Vampire. I love the guitar in this song, it's energetic. I want to get off my lazy ass and jump around the room. The lyrics is funny, 'Hi my name is Ronnie I'm an addict. *HI RONNIE!* Daddy should have never raised me on Black Sabbath.'

Ronnie is back! I hope he never goes back to prison and keeps on doing what he's doing, cuz he's so talented. Making music is just what he does and he should never stop.

The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie

I have returned from my vacation in Terschelling and Croatia! I had a blast, really. It was so great! Had the most fun with my friends in Terschelling and I had great weather and met nice people in Croatia together with my family and my best friend's family :)
But, back to business. While I was away, Red Hot Chili Peppers released a new single, called The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie. This is from their coming album, I'm With You, to be released on august 30th. 


I like the single. When I first listened to it, I thought: hmmm, this is... i don't know. But I listened to it more and started to like it better each time. Now i really like it. It's old RHCP style, with a new twist. Can't wait to hear the new album AND see them live!!!
