Hey there! My name is Tasha Evin. I live in a small town called Cranbrook in British Columbia. I am a songwriter/guitarist/vocalist and I play in a band called Lillix.

I turned 21 in June and all of a sudden I feel that life just started getting really serious. I have to start making life decisions that determine my destiny, like who I will marry, what I am going to do with my career and where I will live. What do I really want in life?  I don’t have a straightforward answer to this question right now. It’s kind of like asking a 10-year-old what she wants for Christmas in five years... You don’t even know what you want that year, let alone in five years! It scares me.

Instead of blabbing on about something this time around, I thought I’d have a little fun. Even though I hate these things most of the time, and I never do them, I’m going to give it a chance. I’m going to tell you a little about myself, by one of those lil internet surveys that get passed around all the time:

Name: Lacey-Lee Marie Evin

Birthday: September, 27th, 1983

Birthplace: New Westminster, BC, Canada

Current Location: Writting an email in Spokane, Washington, USA

Eye Colour: Blue

Hair Colour: Red, Naturally Blonde though (bet some of you didn't know that, prolly did....)

Height: 5 foot, 1/2 an inch

Right or Left Handed: RIGHT

My Heritage: 1/2 Russian, 1/4 Welsch, 1/8 Swedish, 1/8 Italian

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.)
