hey babe, will we ever be at ease?

“We’re soulmates, friends and lovers and everything else that makes a happy marriage. Our hearts are attuned to each other, and we’re very close. I’ll get up every morning at five o’clock and make the coffee, then start pacing the floor, wanting her to get up. But I’ll let her sleep for a couple of more hours. If she smells the coffee, she’s up.”

Johnny Cash about June Carter

video killed the radio star

tunes i can't ignore in the form of the YouTube video!

i think i dig the video more than the music- pretty damn good song though. although, im not a big fan of over-the-top choruses. ahh but i love the tacky 60s theme!



my new favorite... la roux > crystal castles. is that fair to compare? i love the original of this song, but i wasnt able to embed the video.



shoegaze? yum.



the sexiest song in this post. passion pit. u may disagree.... but, whatever.



songs to fall in love to...



i was so calmed by this song.



channeling imogen heap? owell. still love it.

has this song been in a movie yet? it would totally make a moment. it seriously would.

music to fall asleep to...

michelle branch

Ive been listening to Michelle Branch all morning and found her YouTube channel. I love The Wreckers and how she went from acoustic pop to country....yes, I like country. I learned that she moved to Nashville and is married to her band's bassist (they have a baby girl named, Owen... ) Anyway, back when she came out with The Spirit Room- I was 15 or 16 and to be truly honest (without any sense of embarrassment), she was the reason why I learned to play guitar. Well, I had learned Pretty Woman years ago, but this time I was totally serious. I locked myself in my room during winter break and learned two of her songs (among others). Over the years, of course, I've been inclined to listen to different music and grew out of my "Michelle Branch" phase. I really do think that this neo-country style suits her really well. I can't wait til her new album comes out. After watching the video of her in the studio for this album, I'm wholly intrigued.

P.S. i love her new tattoo...she's gone Nashville and i think it's the cutest thing!

chanelling: the 1960s

in reference to my new header, i'm digging this century right now...

luella

not a huge fan of the makeup or hair but i'm in love with this collection. Luella just gets better each season. i die for the shapes, tones, prints and adorably arranged bows. not a huge fan of the last black dress. it could've been pretty as a coat with a more fitting shape in the midsection/hips.

i also have a crush on the pumps and their cute and curvy stem. gives the foot and legs perfect shape..
