This album by She & Him is a wonderful walk through oldies themes put together by none other than M. Ward & Zooey Deschanel. While reading interviews it seems that these two people have a mutual love of old music, jazz standards & 50’s pop songs. Highlights include “Sentimental Heart”, “Change is Hard” and “Black [...]
My week started with a huge let down. Catfish Haven cancelled their show at the Nectar Lounge. It was devistating. Christopher dealt with my slightly whiny self like a champ.
It turns out their van broke down and they canceled their west coast tour last minute. It’s funny, I’ve been there, but I’m still having a [...]
There are so many songs I’ve left out of the “Important Songs of 2008″ list due to my “one per week” commitment. So, here are eleven songs that have made my jaw drop within the past few weeks. I’ve included links to myspace pages. Please enjoy.

It has got to be wrong to love a bad show SO much…
A little known fact, I was sad when I drove up to the EUE/Screen Gems studio and was told there were no tours due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
This little piggy was born just in time for Valentine’s Day. Read more about him here.
Mr. Frank Sinatra is keeping me company this evening while I look at photos of little heart spotted piggies. “Guess I’ll hang my tears out to dry…”
Last night Chris and I watched almost all of the Grammy Award’s. [...]
Is it strange that I continue to have dreams in which random people surprise me by pulling out guns, pointing at me, pulling trigger and always missing?
Events like the Superbowl really do tie us all together don’t they.
I have a backwards relationship with holidays. They are never really yours. No matter what holiday or major event comes up, the rest of the world (near or far) is also having some wonderful or horrible holiday experience. Whether it is [...]
