tuesday tunes - on thursday!

ok, so i'm still having posting issues causing my latest installment of Tuesday Tunes to show up now on Thursday.

it's probably my favorite thing i do all week since i love music and i love making a little playlist of new and old stuff that i can obsessively listen to for the next couple of days ;)

so as always, enjoy!



1. We Are Young - fun.
2. The Bay - Metronomy
3. Midnight City - M83
4. Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men

tuesday tunes - lady power

it's a girls day over here for this installment of tuesday tunes.



1. Cruel - St. Vincent
2. Shake It Out - Florence + the Machine
3. Crystalline - Bjork
4. Video Games - Lana Del Ray
5. Slow Like Honey - Fiona Apple

i was lucky enough to see St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) again in concert last week here in Philly and she was amazing as always. i must also confess to a total love of Bjork. it's been going on for years and annoying most the people in my life (i know she is not everyone's cup of tea). then this Video Games song by new artist Lana Del Ray has been haunting me all week. i caught it on the radio and then it turned up on Gossip Girl last night (yes, i still watch that show and yes, i still love it).

enjoy enjoy enjoy! and as always, please share any and all music you are currently listening too ;)

hurricane hello & tuesday tunes (karaoke edition!)

oh hello there! sorry for my absence and total fail at finishing up the August Break strong. SAD FACE.

so this big ole storm rolled into town over the weekend and it mostly just meant that i got to stay in my apartment alone with my cat wondering if i really should have made Bryan take the AC unit out of the window before he went to work... luckily no one in south philly was crushed by a storm blown AC unit and i still got to keep cool while being all domestic and baking a quiche and crocheting. over all the storm damage was minimal in my parts and i only had to go cable-less for a day or so (thank goodness for Netflix and all the illegal streaming on the interwebs that finally caught me up on this season of True Blood ;) sadly most of the roads that get me to work though are still under water so i got an extra day off this week and it took me roughly a million years to get to work this morning... c'est la vie.


anyways, i thought i would celebrate tuesday tunes with some of my most favorite karaoke songs. i can in no way carry a tune (and neither can my other half) but that does not stop us from getting up and singing. so enjoy these lovely mostly 80s tunes and give them a spin next time you find yourself in chinatown or koreatown after a few beers ;)

enjoy ;)

tuesday tunes - muppet edition

so i mentioned before on here my slight excitement that there is a new Muppet movie in the works. and NOW there is music to go with it! Listen below to hear classic Muppet tunes reimagined by some of my favorite modern artists like Andrew Bird, Sondre Lerche and My Morning Jacket.

thanks NPR!

(also i just about died when NPR radio was sponsored by PBR this morning... target audience much?)

Fitz and the Tantrums - Don't Gotta Work It Out

tuesday tunes - nostalgia

was feeling a little nostalgic this week for some good upbeat oldies. now clearly these aren't tunes from when i was young yesterday, but they are songs that my parent would play while i was growing up that i used to just love (big chill soundtrack anyone?)

so let's get the personal dance party started...

1. The Beach Boys - Kokomo
2. Cat Stevens - Here Comes My Baby
3. Three Dog Night - Joy to the World
4. The Rascals - Good Lovin'
5. Grateful Dead - Box of Rain

enjoy ;)

thursday tunes ;)

so i've been a little behind with posting as i adjust to life after vacation and getting back into the swing of things (like giving lab meeting yesterday, ugh always a stressful process)

but i'm back today with some more upbeat summery tunes.

1. The Wombats - 1996
2. Neko Case & Nick Cave - She's Not There (cover)
3. Jon Fratelli - Santo Domingo
4. Jukebox the Ghost - Schizophrenia
5. Young the Giant - My Body

as always, i love music suggestions! has anyone seen any good shows this summer? i recently saw Kurt Vile in philly and even though the venue was roughly 150 degrees, it was a pretty solid show. nothing big on the horizon, Neko Case and My Morning Jacket are playing a show and i'm trying to decide if it's super cruel to go the day before Bryan's bday when he has to work a night shift...

tuesday tunes - summer's here

1. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People
2. The Reeling - Passion Pit
