I wanted the Songs of My Life for 2020 to be a little different than gifted gems from the Universe which are still happening. I have chosen 3 songs as well. I’ll do so at the beginning of each month to kind of set the intention of the month. Why 3?

June. Winter in Australia. Summer in the US. Opposites. I think this comparison is a perfect summary for my life in June. Hot and Cold. Good days and bad days. Everything and nothing. You can watch/listen below or click HERE “Submission” by Sex Pistols Not a bad way to start June.

I had the extreme pleasure seeing this dynamic duo from Durham, NC live last week and I must say I was completely blown away by their performance. If I’m being completely honest, they easily landed in the top 5 performances I have seen live. It’s very magical to watch two people not only connect with each other but with a sold out audience too. When you watch SYLVAN … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Play It Right (Wye Oak Remix)” by Sylvan Esso
