Day 385 - Blondie - Maria

DAY 385
Blondie - "Maria"
From "No Exit"




Man I have been busy... lots of spring cleaning, which is partly to blame for my lack of song choices as of late.

Glenn and I were cleaning up the back yard the other day and were discussing what an awesome song "Maria" by Blondie is. I love Deborah Harry's powerful and sultry vocals on this track. It is very fun to dance to and is just a cool semi punky recording.

It is nice to see some artists whose vocals may change over time but still sound fantatstic!

Check out the song and video on this YouTube clip.

Day 384 - Ingrid Michaelson - The Hat

DAY 384
Ingrid Michaelson - "The Hat"
From "Girls & Boys"




I was enjoying this song tonight as I drove to a friends house and thought it would be a great one to pick this evening.

I had the great pleasure of seeing Ingrid in person on March 2nd and she was fantastic. Her vocals were as spot on as on the CD, but her personality and sense of humor nearly overshadowed her raging musical talent.

I adore her... and am so jealous... hahaha... not really. I just really admire her. I mean she kept our attention every moment. The portion of the show where she was playing piano and began questioning if the people above/beside the stage could see down her butt crack... it was just hilarious how candid and inviting she was. She made me a fan for life...

This song, "The Hat" is very creative and fun. Smart lyrics, (an Ingrid trait for sure), a fun arrangement, and it has some nice surprise change ups that are just invigorating!

I really like this YouTube clip of her performing the song live as it show cases a little bit of her on stage persona. :) Enjoy!

Day 383 - Dreamhouse - Stay

DAY 383
Dreamhouse - "Stay"
From "Dreamhouse"




I have been a lil under the weather this past week so I have missed a lot of days on my list here... gotta get back into it... still a lil woozy but I will survive.. :P

I was going to pick this song the last time I attempted to update my list but with feeling so sick the last little bit I have not been inspired to sit upright a lot... :P I heard this song on the radio when it was new... this is just a very fun rendition of the song "Stay" originally by Maurice Williams And The Zodiacs.

It has a fun reggae beat and is just a blast to dance to! I am such a sucker for reggae... :) Any remake is usually cool by me if done in a reggae vibe. :P

Check out the song on this YouTube link... fun stuff.

Day 382 - The Muppets featuring Kermit the Frog - Rainbow Connection

DAY 382
The Muppets featuring Kermit the Frog - "Rainbow Connection"
From "The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem, and More!"




So as a kid I was always a big fan of The Muppet Show. We grew up together. :) And this is one of my all time favorite songs ever performed on the show. "Rainbow Connection" is classic.

It is so beautiful in it's simplicity. And I am in love with Kermit the Frog. :P (Glenn reminds me a lot of Kermit in a lot of ways... coincidence? I think not.) :P

Check out the song and movie clip on YouTube. It is so great!
