It’s official. So You Think You Can Dance season has officially started again, and my search for new music will take off running. I’m a huge proponent of multitasking, and I love what this show does for me – I am able to engage with dance from my couch all while being exposed to a … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Simple Math” – Manchester Orchestra
It’s a great day. 90 degrees in Chicago and finally warm enough to push my sweaters aside and tap into my “summer clothes.” With summer clothes comes the summer mind set and overall excitement about what the season brings. Pool days, bike rides, summer in the city, beaches, drinks, anything and everything outside, country music … 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: “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 of the day: “Do it in the AM” – Frankmusik ft. Far East Movement
Another new release discovered via Twitter. Look at me, broadening my musical horizons with the use of social media. #crazy Has Do it in the AM officially become my new favorite song and/or anthem? Am I furiously searching the internet for posters of Frankmusik and Far East Movement to plaster all over my walls? No, but … 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
