And the Beat Goes On: CSNY

Not feeling very musically inspired, I haven't done a band post in ages. As luck would have it, I stumbled upon some old CSNY videos yesterday and my love of the folk rock supergroup was rekindled, along with my desire to listen to awesome music.
I was 15 years old when I first realized the brilliance of CSNY. It was their album Déjà Vu that sealed the deal for me. I can still remember falling instantly in love with the beautiful voices of Stephen Stills and Neil Young. Even now, they still make me go all mushy.

...And because they are my favorites from the band, here are two more videos: one of Stephen Stills in '67 when he and Neil were still in Buffalo Springfield and one of Neil going solo in '71...
...TGIF!

Wishing you a blissful weekend!

Yours,

And the Beat Goes On: Jimmy Eat World

There are a few bands that strongly remind me of my college experience (1999-2003)- Air, The Strokes, The White Stripes, Coldplay...and Jimmy Eat World.

So, remember how yesterday I mentioned picking up something I've wanted for a long time...well, meet Millicent, my new (vintage) bicycle!

This is the craigslist photo, so please ignore the fuzziness. I'm going to spend all day Saturday painting her a lovely hunter green- to match my wellies, of course. I'll have proper photos for you on Sunday.

Happy weekend!

XOXO

And the Beat Goes On: Mates of State

Ever since college, I've had a great affection for husband and wife duo, Mates of State.

Be sure to check out their older album, Our Constant Concern, it's my favorite.
Wow, can you believe it's Friday? Woohoo!

XOXO

And the Beat Goes On: Aimee Mann

I was a huge fan of Aimee when I was a little girl and she was still in the new wave band 'Til Tuesday. I rediscovered my love of her amazing talent during my college days, with the movie Magnolia.

What are your weekend plans? I plan on getting caught up on some projects and relaxing, relaxing, relaxing! ;)

Happy Friday!!

And the Beat Goes On: Travis

Don't you love those moments when you hear a song for the first time in years and your heart leaps with joy because you had forgotten how much you loved said song! Well that's what happened to me last week when I was watching The Office. This Travis song makes my heart sing. ;)

And finally an Etsy shop update tomorrow with new spring items!!

Isn't wonderful that it's Friday!! What are your weekend plans?

And the Beat Goes On: The Cure

It's been awhile since I've written a music post, but I thought it was time to share with you one of my favorites. The Cure is another band that I grew up listening to thanks to my parents and their love of 80's music. It's weird how, year after year, I never get sick of them.

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

And the Beat Goes On: Willy Mason

Cole and I first heard Willy Mason in Boston in 2006, when he opened for one of my fave singers, Sondre Lerche. We were immediately in awe of his talent. I love his deep, scratchy voice and folksy beats. Plus, he's from Martha's Vineyard and I always feel that anyone who grew up on an island must be cool. ;)

And the Beat Goes On: The Kills

Thanks so much for all the sweet comments about Wellie!

Happy Friday!

And the Beat Goes On: Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson

I've been a fan of Pete Yorn's for a little over five years now. When I heard that he was doing an album with Scarlett Johansson I was little hesitant. Thankfully, they seem quite perfect together.

Sorry for my lack of comments, I've been staying with my mom since my dad is in China on business. I'm going to get caught up on Saturday.

XOXO
