What Do You Relax To?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBcwaWFlGkI Normally, I’m a rock n’ roll gal. Or pop. Peppy country music is a favorite too. But I also love classical music. And when I am especially stressed, I love the sound of rain. I love the music of a quiet piano or guitar mixed with it. I love the sound of the ocean…
Earworm of the day: Luka by Suzanne Vega
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ0L7O_khbsI have very mixed feelings about Suzanne Vega. When I was at university, for six months I lived next door to this very nice girl named JoAnn, who loved listening to music. Really loved it. Did I mention the walls were thin? Her favorite albums were Suzanne Vega’s Solitude Standing and Tracy Chapman’s Tracy Chapman….
Mix it Up!
Maggie first talked about Gangnam Style in her September blog. I am not sure who to give credit to for this mashup. David Haglund wrote about it on SLATE but YouTube says it is by FAROFF. Anyway somebody decided that this song would work perfectly with the 1984 Ghostbusters theme song by Ray Parker, Jr. Who…
Earworm of the day: Only Time by Enya
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGinwDu0L8This song is what I call an insidious earworm: It sticks to the back of your mind even after you’ve just heard the first few notes, and doesn’t leave you for days. I don’t even particularly like this song. I understand it’s emotionally charged with memories of 09/11 for many, and for that reason I…

Earworm of the day: Marathon Kiss by Marianne Faithfull
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoWcgP7SUD4For me, Marianne Faithfull is a true “mood” musician. Sometimes, I don’t listen to her for months, next I take an album of hers and listen to it non-stop.
Earworm of the Day:Gangnam Style
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX372ZwXOEM For those of you who don’t know, Gangnam Style by Psy is the Korean hit that is sweeping the globe. The dance is apparently the hottest thing going. So hot even Britney Spears wanted in on the action:
Earworms: The Kids Film Version
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7F5NUNCaow Long story short, I have kids and have spent many years going to children’s movies (and then watching the DVDs – repeatedly). These are not the kid movies my parents took me to. They are not just smarter and more clever – they have much better music. Or at least, they have music I…
Man, I cried, and died, laughing.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4NMoJcFd4 I know I’m one year late, but I just discovered this video this summer. Yes, I know it’s highly probable the original eHarmony video is a hoax, but it’s frickin’ hilarious anyway. After watching this several times (my colleagues this summer were really into it), some things came to mind: The actual cat footage…
