Not one of my best weeks… Starting off with an 1.5 hour dentist appointment at 8AM on Monday. A very scary hospital stay for my 81 year old grandma which only leads us to realize that her mind is going and her body is growing weak, although she is still in denial and fighting us every step of the way. She is alright but they are still running some tests. It has just been a very long week to say the least and I have really not heard anything new on the music front. So tonight I have an oldie but a goodie… The always beautiful Emiliana Torrini. Enjoy this while I listen up for some new goodness to share.

Going to the Dentist tomorrow… It is going to be a very long day. I have no idea how long I will be at the Dentist, there is quite a bit of work that needs to be done. I have bad teeth, because I am very strict with my brushing and flossing habits so I can’t understand why I would have cavities… My dad had bad teeth too, my mom has bad teeth and gums so I guess I feel somewhat lucky? Need another ditty to start our week off right since my Monday is going to really be a test of will… Thao is back with a new album, which for me is not my favorite but still has a handful of some great tunes. Enjoy! Wish me luck tomorrow.

Headlight Cheer

Just got a little blue… Thinking about all the money I am going to be giving my dentist in the next few months, it is kind of nauseating. I certainly need something to cheer me up. Headlights do the trick with their third delightful shoe gaze indie pop album which is shaping up to be one of my favorite albums of theirs, and possibly for the year. Enjoy!

Where The Wild Things Are

I was a little hesitant to see this movie after hearing all the poor reviews… So I went in with an open mind and I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend it and I think every boy should see this movie and dare to imagine. The soundtrack was awesome, of course, as it was Karen O from the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs. I just love her and I do love me some Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs.

Where Are We Going?

I don’t know where I have been but I have certainly been away from my computer. It is hard updating sometimes, it takes awhile for me to decide on what to share… I heard this on Grey’s Anatomy and raced right over to the computer to check it out. Fabulous! Sébastien Schuller hails from France, he creates dark, mysterious and beautiful music. I am quite sure you will fall in love with him as I have.
More later, I promise, I have a lot to share this week but for now I must prepare for my 7:30AM dentist appointment… Yeah, that’s right I said 7:30AM. Wish me luck.

I have been going like the energizer bunny, so when Little Dragon shuffled on my ipod, it was perfection. I love it when my ipod acts as a moon ring, sometimes it fits my mood so wonderfully. Of course, then there are other times where it continues to shuffle the same songs over and over. Little Dragon is a 4 person band based out of Sweden, they create some unique electronic music that singer Yukimi Nagano infuses with so much soul, it is all fantastic.
Tonight, I am simply exhausted. Enjoy and good night.

I have been kind of distant from the internet, just doing other stuff I guess. The last couple of days I have also been a total nerd, I have been playing Wii Sports. I think we all go through little spurts, what we enjoy doing in our free time differs from time to time. Right now I am enjoying playing a little Wii Baseball and shuffling my music. What shuffled on? The Decemberists, their 2009 album, Hazards Of Love. For me, it was not as strong as The Crane Wife but still a complete piece of art. The songwriting is so well thought out and beautiful, they always manage to tell a story.
