The time has come to mix up a very strong shot of the musical flavors I enjoyed during 2012.
Please to enjoy.

It has finally happened – that magical time has arrived.
By “magical time” I naturally mean the solid month of hard boozing that I excuse for “keeping warm” and “saving on heat.” The time when I bite my nails down to the cliffs of hideous despair due to the stresses of shopping for people who will tell me “oh, it’s great” no matter what I hand them. The time of year where I buy a tree and put lights on it so my childhood Bronx Princess accent can come out and remark that “this is definitely the best tree evah.”
Yes, it’s here. So I raise a glass and say FUCK YEAH CHRISTMAS IS HERE LETS SPEND SOME DOUGH WE DONT HAVE AND WEAR SWEATERS WHILE DRINKING BOURBON WE CANT AFFORD. KISSES!
Nacho Friday is here again, and the Spooktacular marathon has ended! My free time is mine once more!
Driving to work this morning my ears stumbled upon this incredible smile fairy of a song, and I have to share it with as many people as possible.
Please enjoy, Hymn to Friday by Oscar Brown Jr.
Happy Halloween! I hope you have a very scary, super spooky, ultra terrifying night of ghouls, goblins and freeloading kids dressed up like Target-brand superheros!
Today is the Long Beach Funk Fest downtown, and I can’t wait to get my groove on in the blistering sunshine. I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend filled with smiles, hugs, cold drinks and hot…bedroom times. Yea, I went there. Sunshine does that to me.
The dog days of summer are quickly approaching. While I have the awesomeness of Bob Costas talking Olympics at me on the horizon (just one more day!), I am sad to think that the afternoons filled with sunshine and lemonade are fading away.
Some of the most precious moments can happen at work. Just now, while researching for an upcoming presentation on Social Media and ROI, my co-worker and I tripped a song fantastic. We were listening to KCRW’s streaming audio, live from Austin…
Rockstar: Hey, talking to national builders and shit? Allow me to get all mushy for a sec.
Me: Ok
Rockstar: Because I’m majorly hungover, and just got done being very Irish for a night and Alex Chilton died, but I’m proud of you! You’re doing cool things, and it’s gonna keep going for you.
Me: Awww. Rockstar, I know your drunk right now, but that means a lot to me. Also, this remix of “Home” is making me wanna cry. This version is amazing. I like the other one too, but this is AWESOME.
Rockstar: Yeah, this is really good! I wonder who did this. NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WERE REMIXES
Me: OH MY LORD. I want this in my ear space for all timez. If I ever get married this is my song. I’m super cereal too.
Rockstar: It would be a perfect wedding song – it’s a very timeless song.
Me: Fuck it’s so good
Rockstar: I’ll tell you a secret. When he says “jade, there’s something I never told you about that night…” and talks about how he was falling in love with her…when she reacts
I believe that they didn’t rehears it
AND FURTHERMORE
that he really never did tell her that until just then!
…but I’m stupid
me: I just got goosebumps. Im serious. I love her voice.
I wish I was her.
Fuck
I hate myself
I wanna live in this song
Rockstar: Did you google it?! We need it!
Me: I’m looking, I’m looking!
I’ve been waiting to buy Nellie McKay‘s fourth album, Normal as Blueberry Pie – A Tribute to Doris Day for months now. Thanks to some very generous iTunes holiday gifts it is finally playing on loop in my domicile. Here’s a taste for you:
There, I said it.
Get the whole album please – it is so wonderful.
Thanks so much to awesome lady extreme, @MarissaARoss from Tangents & The Times, for sharing this with me today. You, you wine-soaked-vixen, are a true National Treasure.
