We're all so strange, it's all so strange | 1/28 playlist

Song of the week: "One Four Six" by Eagles In Drag, one of my favorite local bands of the moment, mainly because it's all members of local bands that I love already. Definitely give them a listen, they have a five song EP that came out last year and the whole EP sort of reminds me of Gerard Way's Hesitant Alien, but not. If that makes sense.

I always feel like my DJ playlists sum up my moods for the week, because half of these songs I added into my iTunes library over the past few days, so it's kind of funny how it all works out that way. Check out what I played below, listen to it on Spotify here, or do both if that's what you're into.

• "Somebody New" - Joywave
• "Got To My Head" - Waters
• "God Keeps Me Alive" - Gospel Claws
• "Shake It Out" - Florence + The Machine
• "Single Station" - The Vinylheads
• "Pumpin Blood" - NONONO
• "Sex On The Regular" - Miniature Tigers
• "Flashed Junk Mind" - Milky Chance
• "Come As You Are" - Nirvana
• "Next In Line" - WALK THE MOON
• "Take What You Can Carry" - The Maine
• "Video Girl" - FKA twigs
• "I Wanna Get Better" - Bleachers
• "Kings And Queens" - MisterWives

Super excited to start promo'ing the station and Future Sunsets again. Speaking of Future Sunsets, they released a cover of the newest All Time Low single, "Something's Gotta Give," featuring Dave Days. Watch it below and keep an eye out for an iTunes!

So so so much is happening downtown because of the Super Bowl. They transformed CityScape and it's surrounding areas into a mini-campus for tourists to meet NFL alumni, go to free concerts, all stuff like that. They even built a rock wall like the Grand Canyon. Like...what? I'm just not about everything being so congested; I haven't even ventured down to the Super Bowl Central because I know how insane it is.

I'm seeing WALK THE MOON and my local loves The Technicolors on Friday though, going to the NFL Honors red carpet event on Saturday and then seeing Jimmy Fallon's monologue rehearsal on Sunday. It's going to be brutal, but so fun, even though I don't care about sports...at all.

Until next time,
Deanna

I'm back!

This week's song of the week is none other than Fall Out Boy's "Favorite Record" off of their newest record that came out yesterday. Check out my review of it here.

After settling into a brand new school and work schedule, I managed to also fit in my weekly DJ shift. I was so happy to finally be back in the studio and I missed all of my friends who I made from working at The Blaze and I've gotten to see all of them since school started back up again, which made me really happy.

With my DJ shifts starting up again, my weekly playlists have also started back up again. Listen to today's on Spotify and check out what songs I played below:

• "High" - Young Rising Sons
• "Sleepwalking" - The Chain Gang of 1974
• "Love & Drugs" - The Maine
• "Over & Over" - Smallpools
• "La La Love" - Neon Tiger
• "Honey" - The Hush Sound
• "Runaway" - Katastro
• "Sweet Time" - The Technicolors
• "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division
• "Waves" - Magic Man
• "Talk to Talk" - This Century
• "How It’s Going To Be" - Gerard Way
• "Guns for Hands" - twenty one pilots
• "Mansard Roof" - Vampire Weekend
• "Budapest" - George Ezra

I'm so excited for this semester and just this year in general, I have a feeling it's going to be a good one. I'm cutting back on concerts this year, but I'm making the ones I go to count. First up is ASU's Devilpalooza but after that it's (hopefully) the Good Guys & A Girl Tour that (hopefully) I get to take photos of Paradise Fears, followed by the Pot of Gold & Viva Phoenix Music Festivals over spring break.

And always, a video of the week. I'm seeing Jimmy Fallon's monologue rehearsal before his show here at the Super Bowl and my Fall Out Boy dudes (who I'm lucky enough to see twice this year!) performed last night on The Tonight Show. Check it out:

I think that's it for this week. But until next time!
