“FALLING IN LOVE AT A COFFEE SHOP” FROM THE ‘A DIAMOND IS FOREVER’ CAMPAIGN AVAILABLE NOW ON COFFEE SHOP EP VIA RCA RECORDS

 

 

Listeners who have been charmed by Landon Pigg’s gorgeous, wistful “Falling In Love At a Coffee Shop”–a track that’s exploded since being featured in a late-2007 “A Diamond Is Forever” campaign (it’s been downloaded more than 122,000 times on iTunes and streamed more than 321,000 times on MySpace)–might be surprised to learn that the singer-songwriter’s first-ever song featured lyrics about the far less sensitive topics of Nintendo 64s and deodorant. The 24-year-old Nashville native has refined his songwriting technique over the years, but his offbeat aesthetic hasn’t been lost in translation.

 

 Nashville native Pigg, 24, started penning his own songs in high school, inspired by “crushes that were devastating,” and before long he was turning out two EPs (the Magritte-inspired This Is a Pigg and Connect Sets) and working on his first full-length for RCA, 2006’s LP.

 

Pigg cryptically explains that the dozen tracks on LP are “songs that I wrote for my friends that they didn’t know I wrote for them.” Opener “Can’t Let Go,” an aching look at a fizzled relationship, recalls Coldplay with its soaring vocals and powerfully strummed guitars. Pigg shows off why his limber tenor has been compared to Thom Yorke’s on the somber “Sailed On,” a track that soundtracked an intense moment on Grey’s Anatomy: “I got to usher somebody on into the afterlife,” Pigg explains.

 

“Coffee Shop” has finally been released on disc on Pigg’s EP, Coffee Shop, a batch of reworked songs and a new track with what Pigg describes as “cinematic vibes.” After touring behind LP for two years and finding new meaning in its songs, Pigg decided to jump back into the studio to strip some of his favorite tunes to their core, focusing on lyrics and melody.

 

The intimate EP will help fans get a better look into the mind of Pigg and his whimsical ways. Take, for instance, his record collection, which is entirely dependent on the requirements of his Honda (it only plays cassettes). “I kind of depend on chance a little bit. A lot of my music has been thrift store finds, whether it’s the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack or the Smiths,” he says, thumbing through a pile of tapes. “I’m a big fan of chance, going where the wind blows me and finding myself. The situations that I can’t predict are more fun than the ones I could predict.”

Great bronzer if you don’t mind spots!

clinique_self_sun1.jpg

I just tried the Clinique Self-Sun Bronzer and I was not that impressed. I prepped my skin with a body scrub and then applied the lotion carefully making sure I rubbed it in well and used an even amount. The first day the bronzer looked good and I liked that it didn’t smell like self tanner. My problem was the second day the bronze color had faded and I had streaks and spots on my arms and legs.  Overall I think you can get a much better self tanning bronzer from the drugstore.

Touch of Bronze Moisturizing Body Lotion by Clinique!

Safe is the new sexy, so find a sunless way to give your skin a natural-looking bronze radiance. This daily body moisturizer with a touch of self-tanner provides an allover, faux glow. Just smooth on this mistake-proof formula to gradually build or maintain even colour. Skin feels soft, looks luminous.

Mystic Tan - at home?

mystic_tan.jpg

Have you ever done Mystic Tan before?  I have, and I actually really liked it - but it is SOOOO freakin expensive, I couldn’t really justify going back.

I’m someone who doesn’t maintain my tan throughout the year, and it’s really depressing.  I feel so much better about myself when I’ve had a little bit of sun. 

Erin and I went on a walk last weekend, and it was GORGEOUS outside.  It was like 70 degrees, and the sun was shining bright and hot.  At the end of the walk, I realized I hadn’t put sunblock on, and my face and neck were totally burned. Ever since, I find myself thinking I look better - with that little bit of color on my face.  What is it that makes us think we look better tan?

Well, Mystic Tan has released a line of products that you can use yourself at home, without having to go spend the $30 in the Mystic Tan stores.

Remember life before the spray tan? Neither can we. If you haven’t thanked your lucky stars for Mystic Tan, creators of the world’s first automated sunless tanning booth in 1998, then you’re about to: The pre-Red Carpet choice among Hollywood’s elite, Mystic Tan is now available for home use with their groundbreaking Mystic Tan Perfect Tan System. Designed to be totally goof-proof, (read: a smooth, streak-free, natural-looking tan every time), this ingenious system uses patented technology to deliver a glow that’s as gorgeous as the one you’d get at your local spa. Now, you can sport one of the 20 million sunless tans Mystic Tan delivers per year—no appointment required.

Face Bronzing Shimmer Cream
What it is:
A vitamin-enriched bronzing shimmer cream.

What it does:
Mystic Tan Shimmer Face highlights your tan with the perfect finishing touch, treating your skin to a subtle blend of gold, silver, and bronze pigments in a luxurious, vitamin-enriched, moisturizing cream base—leaving your skin with a radiant, luminescent finish.
