Vinyl 1 : DIIV - Is the Is Are

DIIV

     I just recently got into collecting Vinyl and this American Rock Band started it all. DIIV (Dive) is an American Indie  Rock Band from Brooklyn New York City. I got to listen to their 2nd album first which is "Is the Is Are" released last February 5,2016, but will also definitely check out their debut album Oshin.  I got this vinyl online in a community of record and turntable enthusiasts they have a Facebook page called Vinyl Open Trade Manila.   



 

     Aside from the awesome artistic cover page it also contains a total of 17 awesome lyrical content and my favorite of all the songs is HEALTHY MOON , mixing soft metallic guitars and slow paced rhythm is really what I crave for. Give this band a shot and you will thank me for telling you so.

Bliss in the Eccentric

 

 

     Summer is always fun, you get to see the Blue sky, warm breeze and have your skin toasted under the Sun. Going to the beach during summer is not always an option, dipping in the lake or a river is also nice, camping in a preserved forest were you can do Bon fires and S'mores (oh gawd how I really love them S'mores) but for me and my friends, being locked out of the house on a scorching afternoon was to our surprise is also a good idea of a summer get away. 

 

     It just happened that we are on our way to my friend Debbie's house ( if you see the pictures below she is wearing a black and white stripped shirt with a Mickey mouse print on it). Unfortunately she doesn't have her keys to their house with her, and her parents are having their afternoon siesta , so we have to wait for them to wake up. Good thing they have tall tress and lots of plants  at their garden so it wasn't that hot outside, then  I thought of a doing a little photo op to kill time and this is what happened.

 

      

     I tried my best to take their photos as candid as it can be to make it look so chill and effortless , it is not my personality to think so much. I'm also glad that these two girls are always game for any gnarly poses.
