i'm a loser baby

i've totally let this blog go because i'm too busy updating THIS ONE. i hope someday to return...

new obsession

i recently discovered the great lake swimmers per a children's disc i posted about a few entries down. I LOVE THEM.
you can go HERE to check out their website and hear a few songs.
i recently made a pandora.com station based on their songs and they are just perfect. i am obsessed.

no turning back

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS.

CHECK IT OUT HERE.

i wanna hug these kids

and i'm not one for hugs. this is just beautiful.
btw, this is the "circle game" by joni mitchell. tori amos covered it too. great song.

finding time

so many people ask me how i find the time to blog amidst all of life's other necessities. i do it because i enjoy it. because it's important to me to keep record of my daughter's life (on my personal blog) and i do it here because "music is my motor." it's my passion. and just because i'm a mom doesn't mean i want to give that up. i think it's important to keep up with my passion, in hopes of passing it down to my daughter.
i remember the first time i heard "let it be" by the beatles, my life was never the same. i have many songs that have influenced my life in some way, but "let it be" REALLY REALLY changed it. before the beatles i had boyz II men on tape and not much else. i want luci to have songs like that too.
i blog because i want to always remember and appreciate my love for music. i hope you love the songs i write about here too.
THIS
is luci's favorite song right now. i don't think she's too young to play songs like this, in hopes that the message and song will somehow influence her life. to tell her, you can do anything girl. for now, it's cool to just dance. but later, maybe "i'll see you on the moon."
*i originally heard this song on a "for the kids" compilation. they are great! go HERE to check them out. there are three discs i believe.

cake

i just feel happy when i listen to cake. "mexico" is one of my fave songs by cake. great to sing a long to. go ahead, try it!

super cute

something has to be really cute for me to describe it as "super cute." sometimes that just sounds really ridiculous, but not in this instance. the below song, by the do, is simply cute. i love the simple beat and the vocals. the lead singer's voice reminds me of the lead singer of frente. remember that band? takes me back to the mid 90's cruising around in my friend casey's red grand prix before he came out. i didn't think he was gay then, but my god, what straight dude listens to frente? man, i love that dude! and i miss our daily cruises.



and for fun, bizarre love triangle by frente is below:
