Desk Dancing

Pandora is very good to me on those days where I just can't seem to sit still at my desk and focus on...well...work. Here is a helpful Carol King-themed playlist for those desk doldrums. (It helps if you throw your hands up in the air and do a few loosely bouncing dance moves...)

Where you Lead I Will Follow (Carole King feat. Louise Goffin live)
Dancing in the Moonlight (King Harvest)
Beautiful (Carole King)
Both Sides, Now (Joni Mitchell)
Moondance (Van Morrison)
Wild World (Cat Stevens)


"You gotta get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart then people gonna treat you better..."(Beautiful, Carole King)

Sometimes, I truly believe that a song is there for you when you need it most.

Tomorrow is Friday. 'Nough Said.

"Always Forever"

Have you ever heard "Jukebox the Ghost?" Neither have I. Until now.

Sharing a bit of my sissy's obsession, which I have now adopted. Feel free to get up and dance...

Jukebox the Ghost "I Love You Always Forever" (Donna Lewis Cover)

wedding video: Ellen DeGeneres

Okay. I have no idea why it took me so long to come across this video, but 2 years later I finally found it. What I love most about it is the music in the background- it's Joshua Radin's "Today" and it makes me all goose-bumpy every time I hear it. His beautiful voice, plus the image of this gorgeous couple makes me want to get married right now. I'm very seriously considering, at least, stealing Ellen's wedding song for myself...

A slightly cloudy day here in Baltimore. This song makes it a bit more romantic...

Music for the Mondays

A case of the Mondays calls for something soothing and quiet...

and relax.

It's been a rough past few days, but last night was finally my chance to relax and veg out! Salman and I plopped down on the couch and watched "Date Night" which was hilariously adorable!

Today it's back to the grindstone. But first, a little tune to keep you skipping through the day...I found this on Naturally Nina (another blog I'm in love with) and couldn't help re-posting it. Again, some french music to make your day a little classier.

Francoise Hardy. gorgeous.

I love these photographs of Francoise Hardy. She is just as lovely as her music.

...to all of those out there who are having a particularly long night ahead of them...take a break and relax.

To have both a profound voice and profound style , all while maintaining a composed image is worth noticing. Corrine Bailey Rae has all of these...I couldn't have much more of a woman crush on her.

En Francais, S'il Vous Plait

Just cute.

Happy Friday, all.
