Holiday Tunes

Y'all, I have a problem when it comes to holiday music. I can't control myself. I start playing it too early and I play it all the time. Seriously, if you get in my car at any point from November 1st through December 25th, there will be a Christmas CD in the player. It just puts a smile on my face and brightens my day, not to mention is eases tensions on the road! If you don't like Christmas music there's something wrong with you. Just kidding! But seriously, you should give it a try in your car if you're not a lover of all things holiday and musical. Those that know me well know that I tend to get angry (really angry) at bad drivers, but this time of year there's a little less of that with my jolly music going on. :)

So to help you expand your song base, or start it, here's my list in no particular order of some favorite Christmastime songs! Some I have favorite artists for and others I just love the song in general, hence the varying degree of artists.

1. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

2. Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone - Baby It's Cold Outside

3. The First Noel

4. O Come, All Ye Faithful

5. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

6. Amy Grant - Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

7. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

8. Oh Holy Night

9. Bing Crosby - White Christmas

10. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Obviously, I could go on and on and on. I decided to cap it off at ten. Ten is a nice, round number. If there's a song you love, feel free to leave it in the comments! I'm always looking to add to my Christmastime music, I mean you can really never get enough of it. All this music talk is making me want to listen to some, I think I'll have to crank up the Pandora in the office today! :)

Hope everyone is having a great day and a wonderful start to a fabulous month!

Music Monday!

Late, again. You wouldn't know I'm a super punctual person by these last few posts...

Emily Browning - Sweet Dreams

Roger Waters ft. Van Morrison & The Band - Comfortably Numb

Adele - Rumor Has It

Oldies and Newbies.

The last hour has been filled with a very random collection of music streaming from my laptop as I perused a few of my fav blogs. In case you haven't noticed from last week's Music Monday, I am loving Adele. Here are a couple of the tunes I've been singing along with today:

Adele - To Make You Feel My Love

Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love

Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man

The Monkees - Daydream Believer

What have your speakers been blasting lately?

Music Monday!

I know, I know a day late with the Music Monday post... But, it's better than nothing right? ;)

Adele - Someone Like You

Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory

Jake Owen - Barefoot Blue Jean Night

I've been on a HUGE Christina Perri and Adele binder lately, so I'm sure there will be plenty more from them next week. If you haven't checked out their tunes, you are definitely missing out!

Music Monday ... on a Tuesday?

If you're wondering why Music Monday is late, read the previous post, otherwise just deal with it. ;)

Duffy - stepping stone

Adele - set fire to the rain

Jason Walter - down

Again, if you have any music suggestions or just want to tell me who you're listening to at the moment feel free to leave it in the comments. I love finding new songs/bands! I do really enjoy music that may not be super popular at the moment (ie not from the Itunes top songs list) or something that may be a little older but just never received a lot of play. Basically whatever floats your boat!

Music Monday!

Today's Music Monday will feature two songs, unlike last week when I put up my entire playlist for the day. For future reference, most will contain just a few songs that I've recently discovered or just can't get enough of (today being the second option). Feel free to leave your favorites of the day in the comments! :)

Forever Young - Audra Mae

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Just Another Manic Monday.

Hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did :)

Friday afternoon the cable guy came to fix my HBO which has been acting up FOR WEEKS! He was super awesome and hooked me up with some other cable stuff, although HBO is still not working correctly, which caused me to miss True Blood last night. SAD! I talked to him first thing this morning and he will hopefully be out sometime today to try something else with it. In the meantime, I have been avoiding several people on Facebook and Twitter so as not to read any spoilers. Anyhoooooo, the rest of my weekend was spent watching a movie, delivering a mobile and burp cloths I sold to a shower, a little pool time, watching another movie, and then.... watching the most intense/jaw dropping/awesome/inspiring/ soccer game I have ever seen on Sunday morning. The U.S. Women's team played Brazil in an elimination match to get into the top 4 of the Women's World Cup. Let me just say, I have never yelled at my television that much in my life! The referees were HORRIBLE, but justice was served in the end as we overcame 2 detrimental bad calls and won the game in a shootout. I'm still excited about it, and just typing this is making me super pumped again- think I'll go for a run after lunch :)

Was your weekend as exciting as mine? Just wait, our next match is Wednesday morning at 10:30am against France. BRING IT!

I'm going to try something new on here, we'll see if I can keep it up.... Music Mondays. Today is going to be a "playlist" of what I've been listening to the last few days. I was especially into this list on Thursday and Friday of last week while I worked on the mobile and burp cloths for Saturday. Future Music Mondays will most likely feature one or two songs and/or artists.
