Tunes Tuesday...

I have to make a bit of a drive every day to and from town, I enjoy it because I get to be alone and listen to music. Two of my very favorite things.

I sometimes even have to giggle at the absurdity of my daily playlist - Lana Del Rey, Lonely Island, Trey Songz, Blake Shelton...the list only gets more ridiculous.

Here are two more songs that are in my rotation.

 

Huge glow stick? Want.

 

 

 

"I just want to feel some sunshine."

This is my winter anthem.

 

 

Speaking of winter...please go away - I'm cold. Even though it's in the upper 30s...ugh, I'm still freezing. My body turned in its notice, it said, "I'm not keeping you warm anymore, I'm tired. Figure smoething out on your own."

 

So courteous.



Tunes Tuesday

I think everyone is fully aware of my eclectic musical tastes. I listen to damn near anything. I discovered this song a few weeks ago through my Starbucks app - it was a free download. If you don't have the Starbucks app - get it, there's a new free song download every week. It's not always something I'm in love with but it gets new music in my earholes, and I always appreciate that.

Back to this song - it's lovely. The message is nice, I like the arrangement, I like it all. It's one of those songs that takes a stance on a popular subject but even if you're not into that kind of thing I think you could still appreciate the music. The video is also grand - I love a good story and this one plays out nicely.

So, enjoy. Or don't...it's up to you.

 

 

 

AND for a little something different...here's another song that I love - the video is not my favorite but I like the song. It's Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. They play banjos and I love it.

 

Guys will like it because there's dancing women and some of them have big bewbs. Girls will like it, because I don't know...maybe because of this guys fancy dance move?

(video below that tank top hot mess)

 

 Well...it's not letting load the picture of the guy in the tank top doing a dance...so just keep an eye out for it - you can't miss it...but in case you are worried about missing it, it's at 3:14 and it only lasts a few seconds but it will be the best few seconds of your day.

 

 

I Don't Ask For Much...Well...Not Very Much...

I have a feeling that the next election is just too long for you to wait to vote for something. I bet you are just itching to cast your vote for something. Amiright? Yep. You want to be heard. You want your opinion to matter.

Do you need me to tell you what your opinion is? Okay. It is this:

Thera is awesome and should win at everything including hot dog eating contests.

Also this: Cornerstone Festival New Band Showcase...yep.

Oh, and those contests where you have to keep your hands on the truck for 24 hours without taking them off, not even once to itch your nose.

Here they are.

But, they normally look like this...

So. Check out their music, you can find it on iTunes. Their website is: this is the link to the site, click it now please.

So, that's that. If you love them, vote, and vote every day. Thanks!

And just so you know, I don't get reimbursed or anything for letting you know about one of the most awesome bands ever.

Well, I get reimbursed with love...and leftover hot dogs.

Unforgettable

I ventured out into the day after Thanksgiving shopping mayhem with Morgan. I didn't arrive as early as he did, but still.

One of our very, wait, no, our VERY FIRST STOP was Forever 21. We walk in the doors and they had these huge 4 foot speakers blasting terrible songs. We are immediately berated into signing up for some giveaway and are told, "We have a drawing every hour...the next drawing is in..about an hour." Fantastic! Thanks Candy!

Just as we pass by one of the sets of speakers California Gurls comes on. This is where I pause to hang my head because little did I know exactly how much the rest of my day would be affected by this moment. So, it comes on and we groan in unison because, a. it's a terrible song, and 2. it's a terrible song, and c. it's an irritating song. Do you know it? Oh, you don't? Here, click on this handy link...no, it's not a link to the song...um, it's a link to a picture of cute little puppy blowing kisses to a baby chick. Yep. That's it.

We do some shopping, hop around the mall for a bit and then head out to other places. Finally I notice that I am singing that damn song. I typically only get as far as singing California Gurls and then I say, "Shut up!" and strangers take a step back because here's this crazy person talking to her self and yelling at herself to shut up. Morgan is doing the same thing. All day. We're singing this song and then yelling at ourselves. Finally we succumb. We just sing it along with dance moves. I was corrected on the boob juggle, but hey, I'm not perfect. "No, juggle them, not just bounce them. God. Get it together."

After awhile of giving in, I started to get irritated again, but I was too tired to care. I was literally beaten down by this song. Beaten into submission by a song. It may not be the first time and I'm sure it's not the last.

That night I was sitting at home, relaxing from the long day of shopping and abuse and finally, finally the tune was out of my head.

I see I have a text message. Know what it said? Do ya? Do you wanna know?

"Cal-i-fornia Gurls are undeniable."

Thanks Morgan.

In true spirit I responded, "Daisy dukes, bikini's on top." Then I passed out.

So Proud

I have been blessed with a musically inclined child. She loves music and needs to have it on all the time and not just on but, "Louder, please.", "louder", "Hey, Momma, I said louder, please".

I figured I should start keeping a list because when she's 16 she will never believe me when I tell her about how she used to sing "Sweet Home Alabama" nonstop for hours.

This list is just songs that I remember her specifically requesting, over, and over again. Quite the medley. I will add to it as I remember more or as she adds to the list.
