Ten Minutes Late

Today has been a hectic day. I woke up did homework, went to work and then killed the rest of my homework in two hours. Including a short answer essay- Pretty impresive if I do say so myself. The song that is playing in my head right now is:



I think this song is a good representation of my owning my homework. 

I found this interesting video while searching for Pat Benatars version Nicki Bluhm & The Gamblers cover of Hit Me With Your Best Shot.

Enjoy!

Rethinking Today's Song


       So today at work I was called a dyke, which made me laugh, because if you know me that isn't an insult. I am comfortable with my sexuality, it is only those who are uncomfortable who feel the need to be derogatory about it. It only makes you look ignorant to use such terminology, which she was.  Regardless, it made me want to post Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, but I have been on a Macklemore kick lately, and I posted it earlier this week. I thought I might find something else to share with you.


Passion Pit- Sleepyhead

        I ran into Passion Pit on a T.V. program that featured up and coming artists. I fell in love with this song. If you play it loud enough the beats will hit your chest. I have seen them four times live. The first time being very close to the experience in the video and I danced my pants off! That is why I picked this version.

Enjoy!!

Joan Takes Me Back


In middle school, I will not lie I spent A LOT of time playing Donkey Kong on SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System for all you youngin's) in my parents basement. I also listened to albums while I played and Joan Osbourne's Relish was one of my all time favorites.

I bring to you one of my favorites by Joan Osbourne 


The song was written by Bob Dylan.

        My favorite lyrics in the song are: 
"There's smoke on the water, been there since June. Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon."

Enjoy, AND you get to watch a slide show of this persons watercolor work, SCORE!

"Never Wanted Your Love"

            Today hasn't had any spectacular eye opening musical experience. Song of the Day comes from She and Him, a band I am super stoked to see live for the first time this up coming summer. They have a new album out May 7th and this is the first single off said album.



Here is another awesome video of theirs off the Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward- Stars Fell On Alabama from Hellogiggles Videochat Karaoke. M.Ward is a pretty amazing guitar player.

Air Drumming at a Red Light

So today I was suggested two songs and videos,

             First was from a friend, Jeff. We talked about our guilty pleasure songs. Mine was from high school. Jessica Simpsons "I Wanna Love Your Forever" . I am not proud but I totally belted that one out when I was home alone. His was Devo's "Beautiful World". It is defiantly as Jeff said, it starts off nice and gets dark fast. The masked guy freaked me out a little.

          Second was from my friend Jesse. We were discussing my "Coming to Macklemore" and he suggested I watch "And We Danced". Let me just say this video rocked my world. I think it is a must that I learn the synchronized dance sequence, Stat! Fantastic Bowie references.

        All that aside, my Song of the Day is



          It has been a long day, and I got out of class and I needed something to get me pumped to do homework. Which I am OBVIOUSLY working on. HAHA! There might have been some car dancing, and a fantastic air drumming at a red light ensued. Enjoy.

Song of the Day

According to my FiancĂ© I am a little late to the Macklemore bus. At least I found it in the end though I suppose. I am posting not just one song but his NPR's Tiny Desk Concert: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton. I feel like the presence he brought to such a tiny arena was so enormous it is worth sharing. I also enjoy his message on Equality for Same Sex Marriage, and the passion he brings to the topic.

This video features- "Same Love"
                              "Thrift Shop"
                              "Can't Hold Us feat. Ray Dalton"
