I haven’t been 100% honest with you, and I need to come clean. No, it isn’t you. It’s me. You’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve been…selfish. Stop, don’t say that I haven’t. Just let me get this off my chest, okay? In starting this blog, my initial goal was to educate anyone who came across it … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Trouble” – Ray LaMontagne
While I’m not a die hard Ray LaMontagne fan, I’ve yet to hear a song of his that I don’t like. Dancing to Trouble last night during my jazz class only proved that theory even more, and might have upped my “fan-dom” a bit. As I’ve mentioned before, a solid, emotional vocal weakens my knees. … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Hollywood Tonight” – Michael Jackson
The only good thing to come out of Haley Reinhart’s painful rendition of the late Michael Jackson’s Earth Song on American Idol was that it inspired me to listen to Michael Jackson at work. This isn’t entirely outrageous behavior for me as my sister and I are borderline obsessed with the King of Pop, but it … Continue reading
Song of the day: “The Lonely” – Christina Perri
New song obsession alert. Christina Perri, I don’t know what you went through, or if you’ve even experienced anything that warrants this type of raw, emotional response…but if you have, thank you for sharing it with everyone in the form of a song. If not, you deserve not only an award for the musicality of … Continue reading
Song (video) of the day: “Judas” – Lady Gaga
Okay, it had to happen. The video for Judas premiered today so I had to post it. What kind of little monster would I be if I overlooked it?! Worry not; my claws are up. Despite my Gaga fan-dom, the video for Judas stumps me a bit. Opening up with a motorcycle gang reminiscent of … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Miss Nothing” – The Pretty Reckless
Flipping through People last night, I came across a list of recent album releases. My eyes were drawn to The Pretty Reckless because of the Gossip Girl reference. Do I watch that show? No. Am I ok with that? More than you’ll ever know. I wrote myself a quick note, telling myself to check it … Continue reading
Song of the day: “See the Sun” – The Kooks
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. Hayley Williams came on the radio, long after a whiny chorus of “overplayed” could be heard each time the song began. It was my … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Walk” – Foo Fighters
Shoutout to Rolling Stone for tweeting the video of this performance. Usually, I’m nervous about posting a live recording, but I had to double check a couple of times to make sure the recording truly was live. It’s always refreshing to find a group that genuinely create live music, without the assistance of autotune or … Continue reading
Featured Artist: Afterlife Parade
Hailing from Nashville, Tenn., Afterlife Parade was born with one concept in mind: death. Singer/songwriter Quinn Erwin realized that all too often, the event of death is drenched in sadness rather than a celebratory event of the life of the deceased. This initial thought led to Afterlife Parade’s first part of a two-part concept, “Death.” The … Continue reading
