christmas vinyl.

just a little glimpse of what i have been listening to while preparing for christmas.

barbra streisand / a christmas album
- babs sure does a mean version of jingle bells on crack.

tchaikovsky / the nutcracker suite
- now i want to wrap all my presents in pink tulle.

george winston / december
- damn, george. you can really tickle the ivory.

on repeat.

speaking of my love, mark... did you see this article?

i love a man in a good gray suit.

summer playlist.

some tunes for summer: perfect for sitting on the back porch sipping arnold palmers or road trippin' back up north.

mash ups.

oh youtube, how i can waste hours upon hours perusing you. one of my favorite things on youtube to watch/listen to are mash ups.

first there was r. kelly + broken social scene = i'm a flirt 7/4 shoreline

(please ignore the scandalous video, i mean it still is r. kelly...)

then there was the police + snow patrol = every car you chase

but my all time favorite is this one:

radiohead + dave brubeck = five step

how can this not be amazing?!

cannot stop.

i cannot stop listening to this song! passion pit: sleepyhead

listening to...

Came across this incredible YouTube clip yesterday. I think I watched it three times in a row. This guy is amazing. It makes me want to check out his other music!
