A New Post Is Long Overdue!

I can't stop listening to the song Adele performed on the VMA's, "Someone Like You". She has such an AMAZING voice. Here's the live performance:

Another Cover

I'm loving this song right now. I should've added it to my previous post, but I thought it deserved it's own.

Leftover Cuties

After having a "Big C" marathon this weekend, I've fallen in love with the voice of Shirli McAllen, lead singer of Leftover Cuties.  Check out the media player below (which is also on the right hand side of their website), where you can listen to the full version of many of their songs!

Here is the theme song from "The Big C", which is what turned me on to the band in the first place:

I also discovered they do a version of one of my favorite songs of all time- You Are My Sunshine.  Check it out below:

Song of the Day

All I Need - Ahn Trio


This song is nothing short of beautiful. Read more about this sister trio and watch another video of two of their other songs, on TED.

I've Always Loved This Song

Not only did Laura and I both like this song because it was so pretty (and she is the one who originally turned me on to Yo La Tengo), but I feel that it is an appropriate-themed song for how I feel right now.  It's a beautiful song, give it a listen.

Yo La Tengo - Tears Are In Your Eyes

A Little Bit Stronger

While I can't relate to the break-up aspect of this song at this point in my life, I can definitely relate to parts of the chorus:

"I know my heart will never be the same,

but I'm telling myself I'll be okay,

even on my weakest days- I get a little bit stronger"

Making a Comeback

After a LONG vacation from blogging about the music world, I have decided to return.  I'll have to do a little exploring to find some new sites that will host songs and let me make playlists, but I'm up for the challenge.  The recent loss of my best friend has convinced me to look for comfort and pleasure in music, and that is what I plan to do.  Please bare with me as I re-orient myself to the world of blogging and music.
