Hey, it’s finally here: our very first blog! How exciting.

Many topics flooded my mind to write about, all of which were decent, but I don't know if you all want to read a blog where I rave about classic English literature... Maybe next time! I came to the conclusion that it should be music related. After all, we are a band, right?

As some of you know, we check our own Myspace and respond to all messages. It takes awhile, but it is very important to us that WE are the ones answering your questions, not someone who was hired to add people and doesn't really care about the band.

Hello there FASHION18 readers! So nice of you to stop by my blog page. My name is Alicia Warrington. I am originally from Saginaw, Michigan. I play drums in the Canadian pop/rock band Lillix. You can find our new single, “Sweet Temptation,” on the MuchMusic countdown.

I’m going to write about a question we seem to get every day of our lives: What’s it like being in an all-girl band?

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.)
