Alright, you caught me. I’m not an avid football fan and I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials (and go to parties for the snacks). But, it’s no surprise that Chicago experiences its ups and downs with the Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler. And so – shameless plug – I was asked to contribute a … Continue reading

Song of the Day: “Mercury” – Moon Taxi
Hey! Me again. I’ve stumbled across another song that deserves your attention. Yes, you. Right there. The one procrastinating at your desk right now. Procrastinate for a few more minutes and allow me to introduce you to “Mercury” by Moon Taxi, an indie-progressive rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. I stumbled across these guys when I … Continue reading
Song of the Day: “Love Never Felt So Good” – Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake
Ah, Friday. You’re here! I’ve been anxiously awaiting your return since Sunday night. I welcome you with open arms and a song that will surely put a pep in your step. For those of you who know me, you know that I am a bit of a Michael Jackson junkie. For those of you who … Continue reading
#TBT Song of the Day: “More to Life” – Stacie Orrico
How’s this for out of left field? Picture yourself 10 years ago (you know, a decade), tending to your typical ‘your age today minus 10’ kind of day. At that point in time I was probably sitting in a minivan, getting dropped off at the movie theater by my parents to catch the latest teen … Continue reading
Song of the day: “I See Fire” – Ed Sheeran
Redhead rule of life: Never fail to celebrate the success of a fellow redhead. Celebrating: Ed Sheeran. This fellow redhead gained my affections when he performed at the Grammys with none other than Sir Elton John himself (talk about a stage full of my talented brethren). Ed Sheeran’s name came to mind the other day … Continue reading
“Behind These Hazel Eyes” – Kelly Clarkson #tbt
In true social media nerd enthusiast fashion, I’ve decided to participate in Throwback Thursday (or #tbt for all you savvy people out there) in the blogosphere. I present to you Kelly Clarkson’s Behind These Hazel Eyes. This song has been on my mind all week. Why, you ask? It’s simple. The weather forecast. It is presently mid-March … Continue reading
Song of the Day: “Come Home” – One Republic ft. Sara Bareilles
Based off of the sheer amount of love I’ve shown for One Republic and Sara Bareilles over the past few years (it’s a little excessive, I know), it should come as no surprise to you that one of my all-time favorite songs is a collaboration between the two. What should come as a surprise is … Continue reading
Downton Abbey’s theme song makes me weak at the knees
I’m very proud of my iPod’s ability to switch from Carrie Underwood to Linkin Park to Josh Groban to The Beach Boys to a choir piece to an embarrassingly high amount of Christmas music…all within a 6 song shuffle. Granted, it doesn’t help me in terms of being able to plug in and serve as … Continue reading
Songs of the day: “Come Over” and “Feel Like a Rockstar” (duet with Tim McGraw) by Kenny Chesney
To those who know me, my love and childlike impatience for the summer months can easily be categorized as old news. However, this year’s impatience is about five times as bad as it normally is. Why, you ask? The Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw “Brothers of the Sun” tour has a Chicago stop on July … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Stay” – Sara Bareilles
I truly and honestly believe Sara Bareilles can do no wrong. What I’m about to tell you is old news. She’s a great lyricist, plays the piano perfectly, has one of the best voices in the music industry today and, to top it off, a sense of humor. I realize that I give a … Continue reading
