Spring!!

Even though today is a bit colder than it's been all week it's clear to me that Spring is officially here! I've gone running every day on my lunch break and I found this little fella in my front yard yesterday morning which also means I need to do some yard work if I'm going to keep taking pictures of Spring. 

In celebration of spring I'd like to share with you some songs that for reasons I cannot explain nor understand remind me of Spring.

Friday Five

In honor of the Christmas season that I have so prematurely brought upon this blog I've decided to give you the list of my 5 current (they change) holiday songs that aren't from movies in no particular order.

1. Santa's Beard by The Beach Boys

2. I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas by Gayla Peevy

3. Peace on earth/the little drummer boy by Bing Crosby & David Bowie

4. Santa Claus is coming to town by Bruce Springsteen

5. The 12 pains of Christmas

Oh Alright...another five. I just couldn't cut it down below 10.

1. Little St. Nick by The Beach Boys

2. Christmas In Killarny by Dennis Day

3. Christmas Eve in my home town by Kate Smith

4. The Merry Christmas Polka by Freddy Martin

5. Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby

So what about you? Any of these your favorites?

It's OK, I'm with the band.

You get NO fun graphics today, instead you get a prize!

I feel like I've been waiting forever to write this entry! Unfortunately, my internet at home has been down and I've been working some super insane hours so even though I want to gush all over the place I just don't have it in me, I'm just hella punchy. But take my word for it, under any other circumstances I'd be losing my mind with coherent excitement right now.

So, the good news?

My super awesome, incredibly wonderful and talented as all hell friend, Dan, has just released his 1st solo album! I've been listening to the songs for months because I'm all sorts of V.I.P and even though there isn't tons of electric guitars & incoherent screaming I really dig it, hence I think that you will too.

And what makes this even better? It's FREE! So if you don't like it, no big deal, all he wants is your soul. Wait, I mean your name & email address so he knows you're human, or so he can make a voodoo doll of everyone who has the album, either way, what do you care?

So head on over thisaway for details and if you happen to be a fan you might want to check out his band Nightlite Mary because they are also awesome.
