Picking Wedding Ceremony Songs
Mar 12, 2010 Events
Hardest. Thing. Ever. So I am recruiting help. Of course Edwin will be in there somewhere. I’m just trying to decide on the perfect song. And probably a Counting Crows song as well. Here is what I’ve definitely decided on so far….
I Will – The Beatles
Come Around – Rosi Golan
Today – Josh Radin
Gotta Have You – The Weepies
That’s it. I need help people!! Is there a good song for when the parents are being ushered down the aisle?? Can’t find the perfect one. Any ideas??

Top Artists that Made an Impact on Me in 2009
Jan 4, 2010 Artists
So you’ve probably noticed I haven’t written a post in a while. I’ve been a bad girl. I could give you a hundred excuses as to why, but really I just got lazy. So in going along with New Year’s resolutions, I vow to be “not so lazy” with my blog this year. 
Another New Year’s custom I’ve noticed is the task of labeling things the “Top of ____ in 2009.” But instead of saying what I think are the top artists of 2009, I want to list the top artists that made an impact on me in 2009. Whether they had an album released this past year or not, if somehow I discovered them this past year and they were meaningful to me, they are listed below…
1. Rosi Golan (of course) – Not only did her music make the biggest impact on me this year, but so did her stop at my house for a concert. It was one of my favorite experiences this past year. Besides getting engaged of course. 
2. The Weepies – I cannot tell you how much I love these 2 amazing people. My appreciation for music has grown so much just by listening to the beautiful sounds they make.
3. Taylor Swift – Ok, so every website has named her the #1 artist of the year and she was very close to mine as well. I admire her so much. Her talent is way beyond her years. I am afraid that she might be one of those super imaginative people who will still be writing teenage love songs when she’s 30. But let’s be honest, I’ll still be listening.
4. Lollapalooza- Ok this obviously is an event not an artist, but I’m including it anyways. Because it was hands down amazing as were the artists I got to see (White Lies, Manchester Orchestra, Ben Folds, Depeche Mode, Kings of Leon and #5 on this list) and I will be back for many years to come.
5. Bon Iver – Seriously? Could he be or sound any prettier? I think not.
6. Ingrid Michaelson – How have I missed her these past years? Not a fan of her radio hits, but love EVERYTHING else. Especially her new ablum that was released this year.
7. Katy Perry – What would last year have been with out her? I went to Vegas last year on a wedding and all they played out there was her song Waking up in Vegas. I am still not sick of it. That’s pretty impressive!
8. William Fitzsimmons – I like that although William is very much so an artist that thrives on his bad experiences, his beats have a twinge of hope in them. So I don’t listen to him only when I’m depressed.
9. Cobra Starship – I love the power this band has to make you get up and dance. Sometimes, there is nothing more important.
10. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – I started my new year last year with the discovery of this band. The excitement of finding a smaller unheard of band and sharing it with my friends is what lead me to start this blog.
Here’s to 2010 and being better at blogging!

Dirt Poor Robins
Jul 28, 2009 Artists
I’m going to keep this one short and sweet because you have to listen to believe. Have I told you before that I love husband and wife duos? Well, in case that’s a no let me just tell you: I love husband and wife duos! Words really can’t explain what amazing music happens, like The Weepies, and especially with the Dirt Poor Robins. I stumbled upon them by accident a couple weeks ago and can I just say, best accident ever. They haven’t produced a cd since The Cage was released in 2007 which saddens me. I’m sure life and all that entails has gotten in the way, but the music they bring to the table is so intricate and full of depth. I mean who doesn’t love a little whistling in a song? They just have an amazing way of making a song sound ominous and magical at the same time.
I dare you to love them and if you do let them know. I want more!
