Yesterday was my birthday, and it was an alright day (I had to spend almost all of it in class), but it got better by the evening; a great dinner with lots of great friends. Overall, 32 feels a lot like 31 at this point, so I can’t complain. At some point, I’m sure I’ll [...]

sotd: Feist and the Constantines – Islands in the Stream
I was looking back through my 5SF songs (I know! I am going to TRY MY BEST and do one this week), and I was reminded of this AMAZING cover: Sometimes, perfection can be replicated, and in this case, it has been. Amazing. Speaking of which; where is Feist? I miss her! She’s amazing! I [...]
5SF: the first saturday edition, august 14
Well, so remember last week when I promised a 5SF for this week? And remember how it didn’t happen yesterday? Well, my bad. To make amends, I offer it up a day late, and as such, offer up the first five song Saturday that I believe I’ve done. All in all, a day late isn’t [...]
sotd: Sara Bareilles – King Of Anything
Sara Bareilles – King of Anything from Sam Garvey on Vimeo.
I posted several weeks ago about this fantastic new single from one of my most favorite singers in the world, the amazing Ms. Sara Bareilles, and I STILL cannot get enough of this fabulous song. I seriously cannot wait for the new album, and in [...]
5SF: july 9
The summer of nursing school is still going strong, but luckily, there are only one test and two finals remaining. We are in the home stretch, people!! This is my “friday off” (ha!), and I have a little downtime, and I wanted to bring you some fresh music since I tend to leave you for [...]
5SF: june 25
I bet you didn’t expect to see a 5SF today, did you?! I know, I know, I have been CRAZY busy with nursing school this summer, but for once, I actually have the “day off”, and I am bursting the seams with delight that I got the day to myself. I am also happy that [...]
sotd: Ray Lamontagne – Let It Be Me
Sometimes, there is a song that is just so perfect, just so wonderful, just so beautiful, that it literally gives you chills. This is one of those songs for me. I was talking with a friend about Ray Lamontagne the other day, and I was reminded of this song, which for me, is one of [...]
Silversun Pickups at the Tabernacle, ATL 6/19/10
I took a break from studying on Saturday, and James and I headed out to the Tabernacle to see the amazing Silversun Pickups, and what we got was nothing short of a damn fine concert. While I didn’t particularly care for the opening bands, Silversun Pickups completely wailed for the entire set, and were downright [...]
sotd: Lisa Loeb – Stay (I Missed You)
God I loved this song when it came out… then they played this shit out of it on the radio, and naturally, I got tired of it. However, last week, I was eating lunch with some friends after a particularly frustrating day-long lecture, and it started playing; and it was almost like a warm hug [...]
sotd: The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio
I really wanted to do a 5SF Friday yesterday, but things have been crazy since school started this semester. They weren’t joking about the whole accelerated thing. Things should slow down a bit after next week though, and I am definitely looking forward to that (hopefully) happening. With that being said, I just can’t wait [...]
5SF: may 28
Woo hoo! Guess who’s back!! This has been a crazy week for me (literally, 5 tests for school!), but I have made it intact through all of it, and I wanted to celebrate a nice weekend by kicking it off with some great music; especially since it’s been a couple of weeks since the last [...]
sotd: Silversun Pickups – The Royal We
If you followed my countdown of last years top 31 albums, you already know that the Silversun Pickups AMAZING sophomore album, Swoon, came in at number six, and is quite simply put, incredible. While I loved this song when the album was initially released (over a year ago!), a current single release has put it [...]
5SF: may 7
I have been enjoying a well deserved day of relaxation today, after passing my first of two finals for the semester yesterday. One down, one to go!! As always, a big part of relaxation for me is music, and I have some great songs for today’s five song Friday; and with that, let’s get right [...]
sotd: Hot Chip – I Feel Better
Let’s just go ahead and admit it; this video is BRILLIANT (albeit, a bit frightening). The first time I saw it, I was like, “This is NOT Hot Chip! WTF sign, you lie!?!”, and then, I was all, “oh. AWESOME”. So yeah, I can’t get enough Hot Chip right now, and this song, the video, [...]
sotd: Florence + The Machine – Dog Days Are Over
I owe my friend Deb an apology on this one. She was screaming about how amazing Florence + The Machine were practically all of last year (and even named Lungs as her album of the year), but for whatever reason, I wasn’t ever able to get into as much as she did. Well, that has [...]
