I miss Chicago!

Pop Music selection of the week

Between The Lines: Sara Bareil...

Hittting that Thursday deadline has been a challenge the past few months, but whatever. Here's my selection of the week and instead of one song, I'm recommending the entire album.

I'm a big fan of Sara Bareilles and I had the opportunity to see here live at the Fillmore in San Francisco, on my birthday -- July 12. During the concert she said that she was recording a DVD, but what I didn't know was that the show would be mastered into this live album too - bonus! It's like another little keepsake along with my Fillmore poster :)

Attending a concert is like no other musical experience (for me anyways). Still this recording stands strong with my memories of that night. A lot of her banter with the audience was cut, but I think you will still get a sense of her humor, and maybe some insecurities as well. She's pretty funny when rambling about the history of one of her songs.

Highlights: her rendition of "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay", "Vegas", "Love on the Rocks", and of course "Love Song".

Oh, and this is the first time I've used the LaLa widget. Let me know what your experience is like.

Enjoy!

8 is lucky, right?

Your Spiritual Number is Eight

You bring inspiration and success into people's lives. You understand how the world works, and you have a knack for money. Right now, your life is all about goals and progress. This is nothing new though - you're always moving forward. You have a lot of perspective in life. You are able to remove your emotions and see the big picture. You usually bet right in life. You have are intuitive and win often.

What's Your Spiritual Number?

Debussy's Clair de Lune

I swiped this from Garry's posterous blog. Thanks again Garry!

Today is just one of those days. This Monday, is busy, crazy, unpredictable and this song really helps calms me. The visuals are quite hypnotic too. I think I might watch this every time I get agitated or frustrated. Hooray for the little things in life.

Pop Music Thursdays - Holiday edition

I've skipped the last couple of Thursdays because, well, life kinda got in the way. But I'm back and it's December. That means it's Holiday season. I'm trying really hard to get into the spirit of the month, even though I've been grumpy and "ba-hum-bug" this past week. So here we go.

Music of the season that makes me happy and totally perks me up come from the album "A Christmas Gift For You". This album is a classic and I hope you enjoy some of the tunes I selected.
