music monday: Mindy Gledhill

Prepare to be soothed by the vocal stylings of Mindy Gledhill....this is Anchor...


Isn't her voice absolutely lovely and relaxing?

Music Monday: Andy Samberg

Don't you love all the video parodies they do on Saturday Night Live?

If you are offended by "adult language", they might not be for you. Some of them are pretty hilarious though.. I'm especially sent into giggle-fest by the ones with Justin Timberlake. :) You should also check out Jack Sparrow featuring Andy as part of Turtleneck & Chain. SO FUNNY!

Throw if on The Ground performed by Andy Samberg is another fav.... enjoy!

Warning: The song has "adult language".

music monday: Glee

Hi, my name's Lauren and I'm a Gleek.

What? YOU ARE TOO?! I KNEW I was in good company!

One of my current Glee favs that I can't get out of my head is, Loser Like Me, which unlike most of the songs sang on the show, is an original track.

Enjoy!

PS. If you aren't a Glee fan yet, head over to Netflix and watch a few episodes... I bet you'll be a convert!

Dare You to Move by Switchfoot
This song always gives me the chills... the video doesn't help I can promise you!

And these lines always hit home for me:

"The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be"

enjoy.

music monday | juno

okay well granted juno isn't the band per se, but it is in fact one of my favorite movies. the soundtrack is fantastic, def. worth checking out if you haven't heard it before.

enjoy!

music monday | lisa mitchell

Hellooooo Monday!

And welcome back to another edition of  'Music Monday'!

I adore quirky and offbeat artists.... and when i was turned onto Lisa Mitchell, it was love at first note.

Picking just one song to share is nearly impossible, since she has oodles of catchy sweet tunes.... and not to mention quirky and fun videos!

Be sure to also check out:

* Lisa's cover of the dire straits song, Romeo & Juliet (i've been known to listen to this on a loop for hours on end)

* Coin Laundry (so much fun!)

* This older (circa 2008) rendition of neopolitan dreams (how cute are they?!) - the regular video is SOOO cool (think polaroids clothespinned her sweater!), but for some reason is no longer viewable on youtube.

enjoy!

music monday | kate nash

I love, love, LOVE this Kate Nash song called Merry Happy. You just can NOT listen to this song and feel mopey at the same time... it's impossible!

This is NOT the official video, nor is the lady in the video Kate Nash, but this video cover makes me giggle, plus the sound quality is perfecto. :)

OH, and please do me a favor and speak in her accent ALL day today... I promise to do the same! :P




enjoy!

PS. Thank you for all your amazing applications to our CT call! We are now officially starting to sort through them and will hopefully get that all sorted out this week and have decisions posted around the 6th-ish. :)

music monday... er friday | frou frou

I somehow managed to forget to post music monday on... well.... Monday... so here we go, a few days late...

The lead singer, Imogen Heap, used to be part of this duo, but is now solo. Be sure to check out her song Speeding Cars as well, it's fab and that link is sans the weird video :P



 

enjoy!

 

music monday | augustana

This week's music pick is Sweet and Low by Augustana. This is one of those songs I think you'll fall in love with or at least get stuck in your head for a good day or so! :) I fell in love with this band back when I first heard their song Boston, another one that can quickly get caught in your head. I don't think you'll mind having that beautiful voice sticking around with you though. :)

Here's the official video.... I am always drawn in by lead singer, Dan Layus's intense look of anguish during the video... I love when artists can really get across the mood of a song.

Yadda, yadda.... enjoy......

music monday | adele

if you don't already know adele, i highly recommend you drop what you're doing and killing some time listening to her (especially Rolling in the Deep).

this song in particular really moves me.... i tear up pretty much every time i hear it...

i hope you enjoy...

music monday | guster

Sorry, there isn't a good video to go along with this song, but I  *heart* it to bits. Guster is such a fun band, I've seen them live and they are fab! This track is from the album Lost and Gone Forever.




Enjoy!
