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
Song of the day: “The Chain” – Fleetwood Mac
Two songs come to mind immediately when I hear the name Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way and Landslide. Without fail, one of these songs will begin playing in my head upon hearing Fleetwood Mac. Clearly, the group has a much more extensive repertoire than those two songs, but those have been seared into my … Continue reading
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
Song of the day: “All Over Me” – Josh Turner
Alright, cold weather. I’ve had it up to here with you. You’ve overstayed your welcome (as you do every year) and, quite frankly, I’m sick of it. It is time for you to pack up your flurries and overly powerful wind gusts and hit the road. Goodbye; see you never (I wish). Bring on the … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Yeah Yeah Yeah” – New Politics
Time to shake the Monday blues. I’ve finally accepted that no matter how many times I wish it, I will not end up back in my bed until later tonight and the work week has officially begun. Moving on…. I meant to post this on Saturday but somehow, I failed to touch a computer. That’s … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Written in the Stars” – Tinie Tempah ft. Eric Turner
After watching countless country music videos last night, I woke up bound and determined to find a new country song to fall in love with. My dreams were full of whiskey, beer, being left by someone I love, losing my dog, and cursing out my broken down pick-up, all with an American flag waving in the … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Rebellion (Lies)” – The Arcade Fire
I’m suuuch a sell-out. Arcade Fire wins a Grammy and thennn I do a post about them. Hipsters are cursing my name as they kick a rock down a poorly paved street with their worn-down Converse sneakers. Okay. Over it. Can we all agree on that? This song did not come to me as an … Continue reading
