This post contains 2 Songs of the Day and awesomeness… Okay, it at least contains 2 Songs of the Day. I didn’t get to post yesterday’s song of the day like I had planned/hoped. I ended up cutting my Friday night short to sit in the ER with friends to make sure another friend’s fall on some stairs was nothing serious. As we sat and … Continue reading 1 Blog, 2 Songs
I have a guilty pleasure I am not ashamed to admit. I’m a fan of Pitbull. I wouldn’t know him if he sat down next me, but I like his music. It’s not going to change the world or inspire someone to move mountains, but it’s a nice fun distraction. I can dance to it or pretend I can dance to it. Sometimes, I just … Continue reading 01.12.12 – Song of the Day: “Shake Senora” by Pitbull
Okay…so it’s 12 days late. Which I think is so apropos! 12…2012..oh never mind, I’m a nerd anyway. In random order and without a lot of reasoning, because I could go on for days.

“If you could rewind your time, would you change your life today?” I love this band and own every album. This is also one of my favorite songs by them. I try to live my life with no regrets. Sure there are those d’oh moments when I have felt like a complete and utter idiot but even in those, I learned a lesson. There are … Continue reading 01.10.12 – Song of the Day: “Rewind” by Stereophonics
This song popped up on Pandora while I was listening to the Jimmy Buffett Channel and it completely changed my mood from crummy to good. This is one of my favorite Buffett covers and one of my favorite songs. I even have the southern cross tattooed on my arm…an ode to my love of astronomy and the spirit of the sky. It’s a permanent reminder … Continue reading 01.09.12 – Song of the Day: “Southern Cross”
In keeping with the dreamer theme of the day, this post and this song is dedicated to the dreamers. “Keep on moving, if you gotta go, Just as long as you stay with the flow.

I woke up with this song in my head. It was perfect accompaniment on my morning walk with my dog, Nick. The only thing missing was an ocean view. I discovered Xavier Rudd last April when honeyhoney opened for him at Neighborhood Theatre. This was another artist of, listened to and bought every album available. This song is just a reminder to me to take … Continue reading 01.06.12 – Song of the Day: “Fresh Green Freedom” by Xavier Rudd
For some reason, today, I felt like I should I start posting a song a day. A song that inspires me or motivates me. A song that gets me through the day or that I just like. When I heard this song today, I thought it was appropriate for what I was feeling at the exact moment it was on. It just amplified my feelings … Continue reading 01.05.12 – Song of the Day: “A New Beginning” by 26
