"I think I've learned more in the last two years than I have in my whole life," says Lillix's Tasha-Ray Evin. It was all of these life lessons and experiences that inspired the songs on the band's long-awaited sophomore album, Inside The Hollow (in stores now).
Now, Tasha-Ray, along with her bandmates Lacey-Lee Evin, Louise Burns and Alicia Warrington want to share their thoughts with their fans through an exclusive FASHION18 blog.

Play List List Play Play List Play

Posted on November 16, 2006

So this week I decided it is time to show you all a little taste of what I have been listening to. I know it can be hard to find new music sometimes, especially in your late teens/early twenties when you have NO idea what you like, but here is a little sample of the songs that have made life just a little better. And, as 2006 has showed us, your taste in music pretty much decides if your cool or not. Am I cool? Please say I scored some cool points with this playlist. *sarcasm*

1. Forever Indebted- Shout out out out out (amazing band from Edmonton I think? Maybe, maybe not. Makes you want to dance your face off)
2. Only Shallow- My Bloody Valentine (just a sample of this beautiful, beautiful record)
3. On Some Far Away Beach- Brian Eno (if you don't know Eno's earlier music, here is your chance to get into it. Its tops)
4. Junior Kickstart- the GO! Team (amazing sample)
5. So Long Marianne - Leonard Cohen (I'm Canadian, of course I have to include Mr. Cohen)
6. The Cure- I'm a Cult Hero (this is a b-side from Seventeen Seconds, the lyrics are GENIUS! and somewhat ironic)
7. The Smiths- William, it was Really Nothing (do I need to say anything? if you don't know the Smiths, get on it!)
8. Heavy Lifting- Ambulance LTD (which leads me to the next group...)
9. Candy Says - the Velvet Underground (one of the bands that restored my faith in music. is that melodramatic enough? i hope so)
10. Glass Danse- The Faint (not my favorite Faint song but still one of the best ones to get a new fan hooked)
11. Out on the Weekend- Neil Young (obviously)
12. Walkin' After Midnight- Patsy Cline (the voice! the song! yes!)
13. Hold on Hold On- Neko Case (one of my favs from this year)
14. I wanna Be Adored- the Stone Roses (yes, yes, critically acclaimed, blah blah blah)
15. Oh, you Pretty Things- David Bowe (my all time favorite song EVER)
16. Funtime- Iggy Pop (hey baby we like your pants)
17. Gold Soundz - Pavement (not everyone loves pavement, but when you do, its magic)
18. Alone Again Or- LOVE (I also love the Damned's cover, Calexico does a great one too, but this is the original and should be recognized, yo)
19. Tainted Love- Nothern Soul feat. Gloria Jones (no not the Soft Cell or Manson cover. the original! its very nice!)
20. Morrissey- Everyday is Like Sunday (this song captured my mood perfectly one summer.... Nothing beats the feeling you get when a song sings your exact mood or feeling)
21. Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton- Crowd Surf Off a Cliff (i hate to end on an odd number but I can't make a playlist without an Emily Haines song. this album is perfect.)

I like and have heard of some of the bands you listed Louise and I am going to look up some of the ones I haven't...alot of the music that you like, I like as well like the Faint, I particularly like Desperate Guys and Take Me To The Hospital. I can tell you that I have discovered alot of great bands and music because of you Louise.

Cool play list Louise, but you're forgetting one singer who's awesome. Bif Naked!!! Come on, you guys are canadian, you'd think you'd have Bif Naked on your play list, not too mention you're a rock band lol. I think Bif roxs. Finally, a musician who isn't a Britney Spears copy cat. By the way, please don't any of you girls go after Fed-Ex, and i am not talking about the mail company. If any of you do, I think a lot of your fans would be very disapointed in your taste lol. First sign your b/f is K-Fed is if he doesn't have a job and smokes pot all day and is a moocher. No one needs a guy like that. We all have standards. don't forget to check out Bif Naked. She's awesome and Canadian. Support Canadian Musicians! We need more of them out there! Peace!
