Music Obsession of the Moment: Crystal Castles

In Summary: They fucking rock!
Their calculated beats and rhythm rock my iPod daily, haha true true. If you like Justice, Daft Punk, any electronica check them out. They have a softer sound yet more vocals which I like better than just beats.

I discovered them when my friend lent me a bunch of her sisters mixes, I added them to my iTunes and immersed myself. I honestly don't know any of the names of the songs because it listed them as Track 1, Track 2, etc. It even took me a few months to realize the songs I liked were by Crystal Castles, I found out on Pandora. I still don't legitimately own any of the music, I did download some remixes, but the originals are fucking ridiculous, must listens.

Go to http://crystalcastles.com/ to download remixes at least, they're free :).
Courtship Dating is an awesome song :)

I am Anna, that is me, if you don't like it, GTFO. (I tried to rhyme, it didn't really work)

My name is Anna, obviously. I'm 16, I love fashion, music, snowboarding, lacrosse, music theater, talking, reading, lots of things that I will share.

I have a short attention span so when I say something is my obsession of the moment I really mean it, not really, but sorta. You'll figure it out.

When i grow up I want to be a fashion designer. This summer I applied to go to School of the Art Institute of Chicago pre college summer program, 3 week intensive fashion program. I sent in my portfolio online and my mailed application should arrive soon. I really hope to get in.

I like art, I take art at school, here is some of my art:
"Implode" 2010, palette knife, acrylic on canvas

I did that for my art class last semester and ended up actually really liking it. It's made using a palette knife which at first is really difficult. It's a little plastic or metal (if you like to spend money) flat knife or tiny spatula thingy. It's annoying and reduced me to finger painting a majority of the time. 

Anyway I submitted this in my portfolio, tell me what you think. 

Thats it for now, I'll post my random thoughts and obsessions of the moment when they come to me :P.
