Music Monday, Vol 5

I know I just did a Death Cab for Cutie song a few weeks ago, but as I was painting our hallway this weekend and it was raining cats and dogs outside, they were playing in the background and helped me to move my little project along.

And in honor of Record Store Day this past weekend, I actually found a video of the song playing on vinyl.  Enjoy!

Music Monday, Vol 4

Only because the hubs played this song approximately 20 times yesterday afternoon, and because it's pretty catchy.

Music Monday, Vol 3

Occasionally I'll do Music Monday, I think this is the third time I've done it, but maybe not.  Either way I should do it more often.

Anyways, I saw a tweet about a live version of a new Death Cab for Cutie song and I happily bounced over to the website that was supposed to have it.  And it wasn't working.  So, I put a frowny face on, tried looking elsewhere and eventually gave up because I couldn't find it.  But yesterday I saw another tweet, and this link was working, and this song has been on repeat ever since.  It's soooo good.

The album comes out May 31...it's going to be a long wait but I'm positive that it will be worth it.  Just push play and thank me later. :-)

And now, some photos of my favorite boys.  Besides Mumford & Sons these are the only people I seriously fan girl over.

Currents & Music Monday Volume 3

Okay, I realize that we're only a little over a week into the new year, but I'm updating on some of my resolutions.

Reading more.
I would say that I'm off on a pretty good start with this one.  I've read the last three books from the Twilight Saga.  And I loved them.  Last night I started Dracula.  I have a bunch of other books on my list to read and I've been given some good recommendations, too.  I set a goal to read 40 books this year, and I'm thinking it won't be too hard to do that.

Exercise/eating healthy.
I was kinda not so into P90 last week.  I think I only did it 3 times.  I know, that's bad.  So this morning I got up before Belly Boo was awake and did my workout and the ab ripper and I'm going to make myself do it every day this week.  Eating healthier isn't so hard.  I've been drinking at least 64 oz of water a day, cut back on the carbs and have been eating more protein filled foods and more veggies.  It's time to buckle down.

Finding a job.
Applications are in, some follow up phone calls have been made, but no bites yet.  I'll just keep bugging, maybe something will pop up.

And now, Music Monday!  It's been a while since I last did this, but I've found some new music that I've been listening to a lot.  Here's a song that I'm totally in love with.  I heard it here, and I've been listening non-stop.  Also, if you don't follow NPR's 'All Songs Considered' podcast, you should.

Music Monday, Vol 2

Yesterday on the drive home from BCo to our humble little home, The Hubs put on Coconut Records.  I had heard some of it before from one of his friends, but it seriously made the best driving music ever.  So here's a little info about 'um.

It's Jason Schwartzman's solo project and it is awesome.  I love his voice.  He worked with a bunch of people, including my favorite, Miss Zooey Deschanel, Kristen Dunst and some people from Incubus.  Seriously, the songs are so upbeat and catchy that I can't pick a favorite from the album.

But I think that "West Coast" is my favorite.  Also check out "Nighttiming" and "It's Not You It's Me."

Music Monday, Vol 1

So in an attempt to start blogging more, I'm going to try picking fun things that I like to blog about.  And since I've seen a few Music Monday posts and I love music, I'm going to give this a try.


I've only got one song this week, but it's been on repeat on my iTunes and it's all I've been listening to.
