Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, lovies.

Song of the Day

This song, right here. This is the song I can't stop listening to today. It just kind of fits...

Black and Gold

I can NOT get enough of this song right now. It makes me swoon more than a little.

Adele

I am tooooooootally in love with Adele's new album, 21. Her voice is haunting and stunning. It doesn't hurt that a lot of the songs really hit home right now

Haven't heard it yet? What are you waiting for?! Hop to it! You can watch her record release performance online!

Blue Christmas

This song makes me want to cry. Or hit someone. Maybe both.

Either way, it's not such a great feeling. I feel like this year has been full of so much loss, and I'm looking forward to a new year full of adventures.

I Hope This Gets To You

This by far wins for cutest thing of the day.

After his girlfriend moved across the country for grad school, William C. May enlisted the help of his friends in The Daylights to make this video for her as proof that they could stay close during a long distance relationship. There's a catch: instead of sending her the video directly, he decided to let it get to her organically through friends.

Every girl wishes for this kind of gesture from a guy. Frankly, it makes me wish for a time about a year and a half ago when things were soooo much different.

Home

This song is the cure for all that ails me right now.

Feist!

I can NOT stop watching videos of Feist singing live. I've always loved her voice (how could you not?!), but these videos of a show she performed in Paris a few years ago are making me swoon.

Watch a few. You can thank me later.

Glee!

Please, tell me I am not the only one that cried big sloppy tears when Kurt sang this song for his dad? I lovelovelove this song, and man o man, it broke my heart.

History of Rap

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's been an exhausting week, but can we just take a quick second to discuss the brilliance of this?

Love it. Lovelovelove.

White Knuckles

What do I love? Puppies.
(My puppy thinks my socks are toys designed specifically for his enjoyment.)

What else do I love? Ok Go.

(LOVE the goose.)

Now, let's put them together!

High Violet

I'm a little late to the party here, but I can't stop listening to the latest album by The National: High Violet. It is deeeelightful.



I wasn't sure if the latest album would be able to live up to my love for their 2007 release, Boxer. This one is just different. The two have completely different tones, and I love them both. Check it out, and report back. Although, you should know that if you don't like it, I will judge you.

Another One Bites the Dust

Today I can't stop listening to Queen. Maybe because Freddie Mercury was a badass? Possibly.

Music Philosophy

I'm completely in love with the Music Philosophy project coming out of England. Designer Mico Toledo takes philosophical music quotes from the likes of Sondre Lerche, The Beatles, and U2, combines them with inventive typography, and presto! You have something stunning. A new one is posted weekly.

Glee!

I loooooooooooooooooooooove Glee. This weeks Lady Gaga tribute was pretty superb. How can you not love this show?

Toronto Island Concert

The Toronto Island Concert this summer sounds incredible. How amazing would it be to take a trip to Toronto and get to see this show? How could you go wrong with Broken Social Scene (I have a long standing crush on Kevin Drew...), Pavement, and Band of Horses? And! It's on an island!

Toronto is such a fun city. *sigh*

Feeling Good

I'm loving everything about this song AND Michael Bublé right now.

This is officially my new getting ready music.

John, Paul, George, and Ringo

For a few months now, I have been nursing a SERIOUS Beatles craving, in case you couldn't tell.

Right now I'm loving the awesome pictures on their last.fm site.

I thought this picture was rather telling.


Seriously, how can you not love them???


p.s., I think my blogging break is over :)

Love Rhino

I heard this song while walking around the Gap the other day, and I CAN NOT stop listening to it:

"Love Rhino" by Sunny Levine



Thanks for summing things up so nicely, Sunny Levine. lovelovelove.



(sorry for the crappy non video. youtube was less tan helpful.)

Razzle Dazzle Frazzle

I've been feeling excessively frustrated (and slightly frantic) today and yesterday. Listening to Ingrid Michaelson sing my favorite Elvis song seems help.
