..Stabby aka Sabrina aka Black Stabbath.

Stabby's been my partner in crime and music for a long time now.
We've always had very similar taste in music - our friendship was built on a shared love for Pearl Jam. But while I dabbled more in soul music, Stabby went on to personify Rock n' Roll - from the music she listens to, to her fashion, to her attitude.

'Saint John' by Cold War Kids is a song that ALWAYS makes me think of Sabrina, and one to which we always sing along very loudly. Cold War Kids is a great mix of rock and soul, just like our friendship. Rock n' Soul, baby!

Anyway, please check out Stabby's blog, 'In My Mind'. It's a feast for fashionistas.
But in the meantime, enjoy our very own footage of 'Saint John' (thanks for filming, Vicki! xx) from the Enmore Theatre in August this year.

..Sister Synesthesia.

There are so many great memories attached to this song... from swooning over Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell in high school, through to our own stirring rendition when we were together in Greece last year.
My sister features a lot in my life soundtrack, you'll notice, but I've chosen this song first because it evokes some of my more recent (very happy) memories with her.

"Far from you but closer than ever..."

Just one more reason to love Eddie Vedder :)
