That’s The Way

This is my favorite Led Zepplin song. I needed to listen to this song today… It relaxes me, reminds me to take a moment and just breathe. Sometimes I need to be reminded.

It Takes Your Mind
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 3 Comments
Sometimes I use my commute to unwind. Tonight I did just that. I knew the traffic on the freeway was beyond anything I was willing to take on after this very long day so I took to the coast. A beautiful drive, but it takes me a good 45 min to make it home and I don’t care. It gives me time to listen to music and let my mind wander. I look out to the sky and ocean (while at stoplights only of course). I work a lot on myself during this time, there are a lot of self-realizations, life changes and attitude adjustments during this 45 min in the car. It is just me, the music and the beautiful scenery of the Southern California Coast. Perfection.

Fly Me To The Moon
Filed Under Music Mix Up | Leave a Comment
I have never shared any Frank Sinatra on this blog… Terrible. I also realized I do not listen to him as much as I would like. His music makes me feel good inside. I was in a incredible funk today, just felt ever so blue. I would have hid in bed all day if I would have allowed myself to. Life is hard sometimes, this whole living thing that we have to do on a regular day basis gets quite old. ladyx.ch. But Sinatra’s music inspires me and makes me want to live. So tonight, the one and only blue eyes to cheer me up and hopefully start your week off with a smile.

Trembling Hands

This brought a huge smile to my face after a very long day. Explosions In The Sky has released a new song off their forth coming album, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. The album is set to be released in April and this single has me super excited for the release. So happy to hear new music and see that they are touring. You must catch them live, they put on an unbelievable show.

Currently crushing on this song right now. The Boxer Rebellion has released a new album, The Cold Still and I have certainly taken notice.
The mp3 appears a bit different, I am testing out SoundCloud.

The Decemberists @ The Wiltern

I finally got to see The Decemberists live… but before I go on can I just say how completely smitten I am with Mr.Colin Meloy. I think he is the bees knees. He is a quirky, geeky, guitar-playing cutie. The show was absolutely amazing, completely enjoyable. They did a wonderful mix of old and new songs, which pleased me quite a bit. I definitely had a new appreciation for the new album, The King Is Dead.

Of Monsters & Men

Oh you will love Of Monsters & Men, an Icelandic band that is something brilliant. Who doesn’t like catchy acoustic folk that flows so effortlessly? I am keeping a close eye on them and I am impatiently waiting their debut album, set to be released this year.

Wings Wouldn’t Help You

Haunting, gorgeous and one of my most played tracks.

Up with your turret
Aren’t we just terrified?
Shale, screen your worry from what you won’t ever findDon’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you…down
Down’s sitting round, folds in the gownSea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing nodeWings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you…down
Down fills the ground, gravity’s proudYou barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become a mortal home?Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let you talk me
Won’t let you talk me…down
Will pull it taut, nothing let out

The Beginning Of Mad Men
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 11 Comments
So I finally started watching the television series Mad Men… Unbelievable. Amazing. Fantastic. And I am only 2 episodes in, I can only imagine how much better it is going to get. Honestly, I am annoyed that it took me this long to start watching. I highly recommend giving it a chance… I think you will fall in love.
The selected track, the opening song for Mad Men of course.
