Well, it’s official. The first snow of the season has fallen and my wanderlust begins. Lust for where? Oh, you know. Anywhere that stays above freezing during the winter months. Anywhere I can take a stroll outside without a serious fear of my face freezing off. Or fingers. Or toes. Anywhere I can send a … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Barton Hollow” and “Poison and Wine” – The Civil Wars
Every once in awhile, I stumble across a group that makes me giddy. A smile creeps across my face and I am filled with the same amount of happiness as a child who is given free reign of a candy store. I can’t sit still, I’m smiling more than Buddy the Elf, I want to … Continue reading
Song of the day: “The Keeper” – Chris Cornell
One positive side to being incapable of going to bed before midnight is that I get to embrace late night talk shows in all their glory. I’ve seen Betty White beat Jimmy Fallon in beer pong, a comeback by Hanson and last night, I was introduced to Chris Cornell by the one and only Jay … Continue reading
Song of the day: “I Won’t Give Up” – Jason Mraz
Great news, music fans. A new Jason Mraz song is out! Seeing as his last album dropped in 2008, I think it’s safe to say we deserve this. But, did he deliver? In the beginning of I Won’t Give Up, Mraz toys with his middle and lower ranges, something not too many fans can be used … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Snow Globe” – Matt Wertz
It’s that time of year. The time when everyone angrily shoves each other out of the way to snag the last Tickle-Me-Elmo. The time when you have a plethora of holiday parties to attend and completely abandon your workout regime. The time…okay, I’m done being Scrooge now. While the stress of the holidays gets to … Continue reading
Song of the day: “All the Pretty Girls” – fun.
Let’s see what fun. has lined up for me, shall we? (Before anyone asks…yes, they spell it “fun.” Lowercase with a period.) Harmonies? Check. Strong guitar? Check. An ability to hit the high notes? Check again. And then, “All the Pretty Girls” was named song of the day. I was sold from the acapella intro. … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Tonight’s the Night” – Outasight
After a week of working and the onset of winter weather, picking a Friday appropriate song for today’s song of the day was beyond necessary. However, seeing as I hate all things techno (peace, love and instruments forever), finding a relevant song of the day that most people would deem “Friday worthy” was a bigger … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Rumour Has It/Someone Like You” – Glee Cast Version
Today’s song of the day was a pretty quick find. Since my life on Tuesdays at 7pm is dedicated to Glee, finding this song took absolutely no effort at all. I’d go so far as to say it fell into my lap. I didn’t have to dig, prod, click around or even touch my headphones. … Continue reading
Song of the day: “We Found Each Other in the Dark” – City and Colour
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
