I'm feeling pretty under the weather today, so I thought it'd be a nice change of pace to post a playlist I've been listening to lately. I'll be uploading new product to Honeybean and Hive + Honey today from the comfort of my own couch so stay tuned for fun new pretty things. Hopefully it's quick passing and I'm on my feet again soon! I'd rather be prancing around that field though! Enjoy! xo
What are you listening to lately?
PS; Thanks for all the sweet words about our anniversary! It was a lovely day, even if the rain wouldn't quit. ;)
This week's Music Monday came from a 9:30am text from Mike while he was on his way to work. I had never heard of Aron Wright before but he assured me it'd be enjoyable (and he was right!). I actually don't know anyone about Aron aside from the fact that he's a fellow Nashville resident and his music reminds me a little bit of Bon Iver mixed with Dallas Green (City and Colour). That was a quick assumption, of course, based on the first two songs I listened to. Probably not relevant after the entire playlist below Either way, I think you'll enjoy! The playlist was borrowed from Aron's website/blog/record label which you can check out HERE! xo
I thought for this week's Music Monday I'd share with y'all the first song I ever heard from my current favorite bands! A few of these songs are going to be repeats for you but I think you'll like the overall playlist anyway! Happy Monday friends! xo
PS; Are any of you still hardcore playing Pearl and the Beard on repeat following last week's Music Monday?! I know a few of you said you can't get enough! This makes my heart happy!
I had the pleasure of seeing one of my top 2 favorite bands on Thursday (I'll never deny my love for all things Loquat!) and it was such a treat! I first got into Pearl and the Beard in early 2010 I believe and they were my summer anthem for the entire time I lived in NYC and beyond. I simply can't get enough. I've gotten in the habit of picking up Nashville's free weekly circulation of Nashville Scene and I spotted that they would be playing 3rd and Lindsley in just 3 days. Boy oh boy you cannot fathom my insane excitement and the venue is simply downtown from our place so we were stoked. Mike is the only person I know who loves them like I do so we talked our friends Brian and Christina into tagging along. We walked in on the tail end of a country show (think Trace Adkins-style... leather clad fly girls). Uh yeah. After an incredibly long soundcheck with the local band PATB was up! They absolutely did.not.disappoint! Clapping, kazoos, and a whole variety of tunes later, we snagged the pink vinyl (their newest album, Killing The Darlings) and rushed home to relive it by playing it in it's entirety. BTW, I did indeed say pink vinyl (!!!).
Thursday we leave for Chicago and I know we'll be playing both this album and their prior God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson over and over and over. Hoping that Chicago will also bring a PATB addition but we'll have to see how our plans pan out! Until then, enjoy some ear and eye candy with these videos and the playlist below (it's their newest album!). Your ears will thank me! xo Part of me wants to move back to NYC just to be in the general vicinity of these fine folks!
What do you think? Your kinda music? What was your favorite song? xo
PS; I apologize for the copious amount of typos/grammatical errors! Apparently waiting until 1:30am to write a day's post isn't exactly the best idea! I think I fixed them all.. if not, you get the idea. (Thanks April!)
This week's Music Monday is fellow Nashvillian, Kate York! Kate's "radio station" on Last.FM is one of my absolute favorites so imagine my embarrassing ignorance when she came on stage with Rosi Golan last week at 3rd and Lindsley to sing. I had no idea she lived in Nashville! Such a happy surprise as this town is full of wonderful musicians. If you like my kind of music then you'll love Kate. For some reason listening to her music makes me think of sitting on the porch with some cider on a breezy Autumn day! Maybe because I'm desperately looking forward to that. Enjoy! xo
Sunday was a fun day! Mike and I got up, got dressed, and spent the entire day thrifting! So many beautiful dresses, handbags, etc. Most of it will be going into Honeybean but I couldn't help but find a few things for myself! We rushed home to meet Brian and Christina so we could grab some dinner and head to a show downtown. We opted for yummy Mexican food at Las Palmas (my favorite!) and then we went to 3rd and Lindsley. Jason Reeves was having his album release show and Rosi Golan was opening for him. I love Rosi's voice, music, everything. She played a ton of songs from her new album (which officially comes out on the 30th!). It was so good! She's absolutely adorable so that doesn't hurt! While yesterday was slightly overshadowed with my ridiculously long post about blogging woes, I opted to move the typical Music Monday to today! I don't want anything to distract from this glorious playlist. I'm a little biased because I love it and I put it together but I think you'll like it! I'm a sucker for singer/songwriter tunes, and even more so if it's fronted by a lady with a stellar voice. I can't carry a tune in a bucket so I'll leave that to the professionals.
Here's some Rosi Golan for you! (I think the first song is so perfect for the here and now!)
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Thinking everything is alright.
Moment that I wait, or I hesitates a moment that I waste
And I can see it all passing me by, I can see it all passing me
The streets, the bars, the restaurants. The foreign toung, the ambiance they gave.
A day, a week a month it seems I'm always runnin out of steam
And here are a few Jason Reeves songs in case you aren't familiar (his new album just came out last week!)
Next week I'll be sharing another Nashville resident that I think you'll all like!
Have you seen anyone live lately that you absolutely adored? Who are your favorite singer/songwriters?
PS; Thank you all so much for your wonderful response to yesterday's post. I was in tears reading everything. It's sad that it took me breaking down, crying to Mike and expressing how much I hated my blog/what it had become and that I actually allowed that to happen for me to wake up. I needed to "out" myself to serve as a wake up call. Couldn't do it without all of you <3
i have been listening to 'foster the people' for the past 2 days. on repeat. all day. at work. i am almost 99% sure that some of my co-workers that sit around me are getting very annoyed. but i love it. and that's what matters, right?!!?!
It's been a long long long time since I shared a Music Monday (and y'all keep asking for them!) and I know I've probably shared this exact playlist before but I go through these phases where I can't stop listening to an artist for days or weeks at a time... it's definitely A + J's turn once more! Thought it'd be nice to share one of my favorite group's music with anyone who may have joined us here in the past year or so. Everything they continue to come up with amazes me. Not to mention they're a totally gorgeous brother + sister duo! Here's some ear and eye candy for the start of your work week! xo
Today is a busy day for me, honeybees! Four freelance clients, boatloads of emails to respond to, sponsorship stuff to take care of and design, and lots of posts to format! Not that I'm complaining one bit! Living the dream and I couldn't be happier :D Gotta make time for some friends tonight, too, so off I go! I'm going to share with you one of the recent albums I can't get enough of! I've always been a Matt Nathanson fan but this album seriously tops everything he's ever done! I love love love it! What do you think?
What song/album/artist can't you get enough of lately?
It's been a while since I've been able to post a fun playlist for y'all! Grooveshark stopped working for me on Chrome and after about a month and a half I decided to try it on Firefox from the laptop and huzzah! It works! Here's a few tunes that I've been listening to religiously lately... Hopefully you'll find something new to love!
there are a few songs that i have been listening to now, on repeat, for weeks. at work, i could not make it through the day without my music. whether we're really busy at work, or really slow, i have to have my music playing in the background so that i can keep it together.
my current play-list includes some of the following:
last night, was one of the best nights of my life. for the simple fact that i sat at my computer and made probably the best play-list on groovesharkknown to all mankind. i was sitting there thinking, 'i am so tired of all these lame songs i listen to again and again and again at work. i need something new.'
so this is exactly what i did. i went to google. and typed in 'top 100 songs in the 80's'. and you KNOW it's gonna be good. check out the list here. including: Billy Idol, Men at Work, Bon Jovi, Def Leopard, Run DMC, Dexy's Midnight Runners, R.E.M., Styx, Prince, Journey and much much more.
i am sitting here at work, listening to songs that were popular before i was ever born. i love it. these songs are the best. and of course, i threw in some of my mom's favorite songs. just because they're good. ie. al jarreau. ;)
so whether you're in your car, singing along to the music on the radio. in an old stuffy office, listening to your pandora. or even in the shower, belting out half known lyrics to a song you heard once before.i hope that you all have a fun day and have some lovely music to listen to.
