I first heard The Kooks while watching 17 Again. Their song, Naive, along with my future husband, was featured during the credits of the movie and I noticed it immediately. Yes, a song convinced me to stop daydreaming about the love of my life and wake up my other senses. Somehow, I had forgotten about … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Do Ya Like” – Childish Gambino ft. Adele
I have a weakness. Songs that combine different genres (such as rap with an Adele sample) are a bit addicting to me. Last summer, I got excited any time B.O.B’s Airplanes ft.

Song of the day: “Smells Like Teen Spirit” – Nirvana
Not many words are needed to intro this one. Since today is the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, I found it appropriate to feature his work as the song of the day. Plus, I never mind listening to one of my favorite songs on repeat, either. Wanting to be someone else is a waste … Continue reading
