Stuck In My Head - Rilo Kiley on a Monday Edition

Last night I had a dream that I was babysitting a piglet and a 2 tiny baby dancing elephants that I carried around with me in my pocketbook. It was awesome.

And then I woke up with these songs in my head which have absolutely nothing to do with that.


Does He Love You? - Rilo Kiley 


Silver Lining - Rilo Kiley

I hate it when awesome bands breakup and don't make their music anymore. Jenny Lewis had better always keep making solo records, that is all I am saying!

20 years ago this was the #1 song is the USA for the first 3 weeks of 1995.
I loved this song.
Now just let it sink in that 20 year ago it was 1995.

1/8/15 - Songs I Forgot About - Jets to Brazil "All Things Good and Nice"

I have a very large digital music library.
I love it.
With my 160GB iPod I have been able to carry my music collection with over the years when I have lost countless other possessions and tokens from life. But my music is always with me. And when I listen to my music I tend to do a lot of shuffling so that I am able to get a sampling of all the kick ass music I have found over the years. In doing that I always find little gems that I forget exist. So now I am gonna start collecting them here. Because if I am gonna make my blog goal for the year I gotta post post post right?


Today's edition is this gritty ballad from the indie rock band Jets To Brazil - its got the flavor or a Beatles-esque melody being mixed up with an 80's power ballad.
