SELF-PROMOTE SELF-DEMOTE

SOOOOOOO...

I'm not gonna even waste the energy to type an apology for being a shit blogger. oh wait, I just did. So soz guys...

I, Tara Masterson Hally, am a shit blogger. *what's new?

buttttt, I've been really focusing on working on my music an updating all my pages so that they're no longer representations of me as a fourteen-year-old-garageband-loving teenager. Four years older, four years less cringey... I hope!

Anyways, I've recorded some more new stuff, and I'm trying to get this all up-and-running again. The photos are by my friend Andrew who does amazing photography, obvzzz.

So, faithful readers (who don't exist anymore because last time I updated was Christmas (ooops...)(can you do brackets within brackets?)(probs not)(ohwell)) if you do still exist, then well done to you for possessing inhuman patience and loyalty. Your prize is a link to my

Facebook music page

and my latest song. Please 'like' my page, I would really appreciate it! Also, keeps your eyes... or um, ears, peeled, because I'll be uploading a new song tomorrow hopefully!

YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE

Did yet another GoodWill haul before I leave, and can safely say I am satisfied (although will probably still go again before I head back to Europe). I swear that if I bought the exact same things I got today in any Dublin vintage stores it would be AT LEAST just over 70 euro, and considering that everything I got today cost a grand (not-so-grand) total of 19 dollars, I'm a pretty happy ladeeeeee. Purchases were as follows;

lace up ankle boots - three dollah y'all! Which means I won't feel guilty when I attack them with my freshly delivered order of studs...

black Levi's jeans - to be cut, durr.

blue Levi's mom shorts - to be cut, double durr.

Ralph Lauren Men's plaid shirt - just an oversized version of the one I got in the exact same GoodWill last year, basically what I wear when I'm not very enthused...

I realize how lame this picture looks now... but it was the only picture where I didn't have club feet or that the shoezzz weren't shrouded in a shadow of doom, so deal with it. Plus, OH EMMM GEEEE, look at my guitar, I'm so cool etc. etc. :)

This outfit is nothing special, my family and I just headed out for my sister's birthday, we went to see INCEPTION, which was pretty amazing, but it wasn't as crazy confusing as everyone was saying. Personally my fav. bit about it was how the fog-horn-y sounding music throughout the movie was actually Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien" slowed down a couple hundered times, something that I enjoy geeking out about, then again, I just enjoy geeking out in general...

And speaking of that check out this. It's Justin Bieber's "U smile" slowed down 800%, personally whenever a song uses text speak in it (e.g. Avril Lavigne's GOLDEN hit, "Sk8r Boi") I generally try to avoid it, but this 36-minute form of BIEBER FEVER is just like one big epic event getting all up in your ears, jus sayin, that shit just got real...

DREAMING OF ANOTHER GIRL WORLD

The new Mystery Jets album (Serotonin) is, ozzley, AMAZEBALLS. As cliched as it is, they really do just get better and better as they go on. Their new music video, is fittingly also AMAZEBALLS (I was bribed to write that word as many times as possible, swear).

And a song as sweet as this one necessitates an equal match for its music vid. Anyways, I'll stop fangirlin' now, and let the screenshots speak for themselves yo'

So basically the model is a B-A-B-E, but besides that, the video is actually really interesting, make of it what you will. I just loved the little details like playing suitcases as drums, and the Bonnie + Clyde-esque feeling when they're playing with their breakfast.

mmmmm nom nom.

I'll leave you with the video, just seemed like a kind thing to do, you know?
