As much as we might like to base our view of love off of the countless chick flicks that we’ve all seen, finding love isn’t always as simple (or perfect) as Hollywood leads us to believe. Finding someone may not happen during the height of your happiness, while wearing your best outfit, surrounded by your … Continue reading

Song of the day: “It Will Rain” – Bruno Mars
I’ve had the title of this song written on a post-it stuck to my desk for about a month now. Without fail, it seemed to get covered up by pieces of paper, magazines, more post-its and whatever else weasels its way onto the gray green surface of my desk. Today, it was uncovered again and … Continue reading
A digital spin on the music I crave
The signs are everywhere. You know that looming project you attack head on for a few weeks, and suddenly you just…fall off the face of the Earth? Progress stops, and the guilt begins almost immediately. That’s exactly what has happened here. My last song of the day was in August. I’ve been motivated. I’ve had … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Fix You” – Javier Colon
I have a problem, and I’m ready to admit it. When I don’t completely “get” a musicians fame, I make it clear. (Sorry to all members of the Dave Matthews cult…no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you explain the experience, no matter how many sax solos you try to talk about, … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Your Hand in Mine” – Explosions in the Sky
Just a short time ago, tragedy struck when the stage set for Sugarland collapsed in Indiana, killing five people. Today, a stage set for the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium has also collapsed, with four dead thus far. Initially, I wanted to feature a Smith Westerns song after I was told they were due to take … Continue reading
Song of the Day: “Not Over You” – Gavin DeGraw
The recently attacked Gavin DeGraw has been through a lot lately. Getting jumped in New York City resulted in the cancellation of some of his shows so he could properly recover. Luckily, I know just what he needs: a song of the day feature. Sure, I’ve heard this a time or two, and may have listened … Continue reading
Lollapalooza 2011 Recap
Better late than never, right? This past weekend marked a moment in history. I, a song hoarder/concert lover/music blogger, finally experienced my first Lollapalooza. I know, I’m on the fast track to fame. First, this post. Next, a music publicist position followed by a million dollar book deal. Slight exaggeration. All joking aside, being able … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Time Bomb” – All Time Low
Look out, kids, history is about to be made. I rarely feature a pop-punk song on Haute Thought because, well, I thought I graduated from that style of music the second I was handed my high school diploma and stopped my love affair with Laguna Beach (may it rest in peace). Then, today happened. In … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” – Jake Owen
Well well well, now that it’s July I see the weather has finally shaped up and started acting like it. (I know, welcome to Chicago.) While summer comes packed with multiple things, particularly for a winter-hater such as myself, one of the best things about summer is country music. Sure, you can listen to it … Continue reading
Song of the day: “I Want You (Hold on to Love)” – Cee Lo Green
The classic and oldschool R&B vibe Cee Lo Green’s voice is drenched in throughout I Want You (Hold on to Love) can be described in one word: sexy. From the simple runs, scoops and genuine lyrics, Cee Lo finds a way to channel R&B greats and reproduce it in a current way. This was also … Continue reading
