I've got favorite purses


Two new cd's
Kate Nash - Made of Bricks
Sia - Some People Have Real Problems

So far they are both full of feeling, I have no regrets.
The Sia album was an impulse buy and a very good one. I have loved her for like a year and half or something so I knew it couldn't be horrible.
I have wanted the Kate Nash cd ever since the first time I heard Merry Happy (which was a very long time ago). When I first bought it I was worried with the lack of lyrics in "Play" and the somewhat hilarious lyrics of "Dickhead". I wasn't even sure if she was being serious or trying to funny or maybe both.
Now I don't care because the cd as a whole is great.
I am looking forward to being thoroughly addicted.

songs to listen to:

Kate Nash, Mouthwash
Sia, Playground

What Can I Say?

Do any of you have secret songs?
Or I guess secrets.
I have a lot of secrets, but I have some secret songs too.
You know like a song that always reminds you of something but nobody else knows.
One of my secret songs is What Can I Say by Brandi Carlile.
I have mentioned that song in this blog before.
I don't know, I have discovered that I like having secrets. From EVERYONE. Not like a secret only the closest people to you know, or even some random person knows...I'm talking about secrets only YOU know.
I guess it's kind of like that post secret thing but not as drastic or I guess it could be.
Anyway, I want to listen to this song forever because it is both good and reminds me of my secret.

Bigger Than My Body Gives Me Credit For


I have very recently started back into the cycle of listening to John Mayer. (recent meaning today).
I sometimes question if he is really my favorite artist....then I listen to his music and wonder why I ever had any doubts.
He is really great. I have so many favorites (songs). Also I like how he has a sense of humor. I know that you shouldn't get caught up in celebrities and how you think you know what their personality is like, but from what I can tell he HAS to have something more than the others.
I guess I will never really know so for now I will just listen.

some songs I am really into right now.

1. Come Back to Bed
2. Home Life
3. Split Screen Sadness
4. Slow Dancing in A Burning Room (from the Village Sessions)
5. Something's Missing

....and so many more

I have a theory

that if you act like you know everything about music, or act like a music snob.......people will eventually listen to you. I promise to try my hardest NOT to become one of those people who just talk for the sake of being listened to. I really care about music and I want to be as honest as possible in my opinions or others opinions and also truths.

p.s. The KT Tunstall song I love turns out to be one of the biggest christmas songs in the UK and I had no clue. It's just another bit of knowledge that makes me realize how little knowledge I have.
The BBC also censored the beloved song for using the term "faggot".
the BBC never sensors anything, so to start here baffles me.
It seems as if political correctness will someday take over the world.

Sleigh Ride


christmas is knocking at all of our doors.
the crisp wind is hitting our faces reminding us of the warm fireplaces waiting patiently for us in our homes.
The familiar sounds giving us that fuzzy feeling.
All of these things are part of the tradition, but every once in awhile we come across something new.
I have recently discovered KT Tunstall's Christmas cd.
There are many traditional songs but there is one song that is original and I know I will be listening to it every year to come.
It is named "Fairytale Of New York".
I am in love with it.
