Just when I think Taylor Swift can’t possibly get more adorable, she goes and does this. PLEASE, God, let Millie grow up to have the same sense of humor. It would make life real fun.

I. L. D.  Wildcats!



Love the drums, the whistles, the cheering…it makes me feel like I am right there at the East High basketball game.  Am I a loser if I LOVED High School Musical 3 and I am a 31 year old?  If you said yes, I say WHATEVS.  I own my dorkiness.  Yep.  I’m a wannabe theatre kid.

We took Mills to see it last Sunday, and it was her FIRST TIME to go to the movies.  It was a success.  I wanted to cry at all of the cuteness.  The way she kept getting folded up in her chair and the squeals of delight directly after will never fade from my memory.  I loved it when she got out of her seat and asked me to dance with her as Troy and Gabrielle were dancing.  Yeah, I’m pretty sure the people behind us didn’t think it was so cute, but I nearly teared up.  What a doll, she is…and, I think, a future theatre kid.

Go check out these if you are in need of an auditory fix.

Joshua Radin’s newest EP :: Unclear Sky
~all 4 songs rock the hizzie, but “Sky” is one that you will welcome to get stuck in your head…plus, he’s cute!


2007-2-23-joshua-radin.jpeg

Death Cab For Cutie’s newest album :: Narrow Stairs
~you can listen to the entire thing and rinse and repeat…love it!

Vampire Weekend’s self-titled album
~rinse. repeat. rinse. repeat. all. day. long.

MGMT’s first full album :: Oracular Spectacular
~not really meant for Mom or her friends, since there are *gasp* curse words and the like, but it will make you shake it fo’ sho’!

Have fun, and let me know what you are jammin’ to!

As I’m on my back with my trusty Nick & Nora sheep blankie (that I’ve had since my college days) curled under my chin, this little diddy circles round and round and round and round and round in my brain till I feel like I am going mental.

Anyone else get songs stuck in your head in the middle of the night or am I the only crazy one?

It has been around for a couple of years. However, I fell in love all over again when it graced my car speakers yesterday afternoon. Sunroof open, hair flying, singing at the top of my lungs while simultaneously head-bopping…good times.

It brought me back to a place I had forgotten about…23 years old. Live music junkie still trying to find herself. Careless, free, hippie chick who took the time to let the music pump through her veins till she had to jump up and down.

Rock it out, Kooks! (side note: ya might not want to let your boss/toddler/coworker/church lady see this video)


What song makes you feel alive? Holla back and let me know!

I was asked to document the evening as well as capture some key shots of Brice for his website, and couldn’t say no.

Live music and a really good cause…I am so thankful that I do what I do. Life is good.

I mean, maaaaaaaaaybe the focus should be more on the actual photos. I try to rock them out as best I can…believe me! However, given the fact that I’m not headed to Hollywood to be a soundtrack consultant, I will take this opportunity to make my own soundtrack to life and MILK IT!

Here is what I am currently listening to on my “Holla!” mix (a mix I refresh every 2 months or so)…

Paolo Nutini (my new fave, he’s like the new Jamie Cullum + Mat Kearney)
Tristan Prettyman (who is actually pretty)
Emerson Hart (cutie former lead singer of Tonic)
Bloc Party (who remind me of an all time fave, Young Love)
Will Hoge (all-American rocker from the Nashville scene)
Shiny Toy Guns (electronic, like a new sorta kinda version of Postal Service-ish-ness)
Matt Costa (so easy to listen to but not easy listening…more indie rock than that)
The Fratellis (similar to a new brand of The Strokes)
Kate Nash (if I was a musician…hey, a girl can dream)
Matt White (I’ve loved him for a while, and not just cuz he’s cute…he’s got soul)
Vanessa Carlton (a brilliant pianist and a helluva lyricist…she’s just now come into her own)
Bat for Lashes (a little weird, but we all need a dash of strangeness in our lives)

Here’s the deal: I’m not claiming that I “discovered” these peeps. In fact, I may not even beat out the most music-savvy friend in your clique. BUT—I have been complimented so much and have actually been asked to help other profesh types with their site’s music selection, so I just thought I would share what I was jamming out to.

Hope you likey!

Baby girl, I don’t got a huge ol’ house
I rent a room in a house
Listen baby girl, I ain’t got a motorboat
But I can float your boat

Just genius. Or something. Whatever it is, I LURVE it and it makes me run around like Richard Simmons.

Watch Yourself! http://juxtaposethis.com/2007/10/12/shake-ya-a-watch-yourself/ http://juxtaposethis.com/2007/10/12/shake-ya-a-watch-yourself/#comments Fri, 12 Oct 2007 21:35:53 +0000 Kate http://juxtaposethis.com/?p=42 Check out my new tunes up on the wedding website. Yeah, I know that my dad-gummed jukebox song label doesn’t work. Can’t figure out how to make the colors right so it will show up! Copyright infringements all over the place, I know. Shame on me!

I will, however, direct ya to Peter Bjorn and John, Joshua Radin, and an oldie but goodie—Pixies!

Have a super weekend…have 3 sessions this weekend that I will be blogging as soon as I can…hugs galore to you all!
