When Mason walks into the room and says, “Hey, mom. Wanna hear something? I think you’ll like this song.” you just do it. When he pushes play on his iPod and starts Gotye’s song “Heart’s A Mess” and smiles at you, nodding, and seeking your approval for the song, you just like it. Instantly. You don’t [...]
It’s a wonderful thing to find new music and with the comments on my last music post I found that the more I search the more people share (and thank you! keep sharing!) what they’re listening to or what they think I might like. The easiest description of The Hot Club of San Francisco is [...]
Call me a fan of music. In fact, I insist. But don’t call me a fan of what most people consider pop music. If it’s all over the television and “celebrities” are overexposed then chances are I don’t have an interest. After watching Lady Gaga perform for the first time last night I was less [...]
You know a song is infecting your brain when you wake up singing it every day for a week. It doesn’t take much for Common to infect me because I crush HARD on this man. He still doesn’t know he’s my boyfriend. By the way, are you watching him on AMC’s “Hell on Wheels”? I [...]
I have a thing for East Coast hip hop. I won’t even lie about that. “Above the Clouds” was playing earlier this week and it surprised me how much I missed this song. Guru, one of the founding members, died far too soon from a heart attack in 2010. This is exactly the type of [...]
Dangit, if Elle Varner isn’t ADORABLE. It’s not just the hair, either, but MY GOD SHE HAS INCREDIBLE HAIR. Also, this video is a throwback to a time that mirrors my high school years (minus the incredible hair, I was still trying to make it feather like all the white girls, oy, the mistakes I [...]
This song got me through some rough months. Lots of change was happening in my life and this song seemed to keep coming up on my playlist and instead of fighting it or trying to figure out what the lyrics meant or how this was affecting my life I just went with it. Just go [...]
Is it me, or does this song sound eerily reminiscent of Prince back in the day? (It’s not just the Atari system shot in the video either.) (Okay, maybe it reminds me of Prince from the 80s and that’s where that comes from.) Everything she sings I end up liking, but this one is my [...]
This is one of those songs I can’t really explain why I like because it’s not normally what I’d be listening to on a regular basis, but it still makes me smile. Especially this line: “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier.” Interesting video, too.
I have Adele stuck in my head this morning. It’s all I can do to stop hearing it in my head. I’m not much up for writing again about the BofA fiasco going on (as it’s still ongoing and, as yet, unresolved) so I’m focusing on music. When Mason came home to visit early this [...]
