Couch Potatoes and Volcanos

     February, being the shortest month, I knew I had to take full advantage of my time. I spent the cold, snowy, buried days as a hermit, constantly applying for jobs and looking into studios on the West Coast. I watched the Superbowl from the White Mountains, the Olympics from my parents couch and also almost completed the entire Showtime series of Dexter. Needless to say, I'm ready for fresh air, the color green, a change of pace and a gym membership!

     Fingers crossed, March, I've got goals to meet!

     I also want to continue sharing my favorite songs and while I'm talking about television, I may as well confess... I'm also completely obsessed with American Idol again. I've only seen a handful of seasons and haven't watched since Meme passed away. The new judges (Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick JR) are what drew my attention this go-around. And I love being a part of such an exiting journey these talented kids are on as they shine, grow and live in the spotlight for a few months. I wish them all the best of luck but I've got to give a personal shot-out to New Hampshire native, Alex Preston. I'm thrilled Mount Vernon, New Hampshire is back in the papers in a positive light. Much love!

Here he is singing an abbreviated version of Damien Rice's song, Volcano during American Idol Rush Week to make the finals. Alex is currently in the top 11.

Haim




These girls know how to kick up the funk and reel in the catchy beats. After supporting big name artists on tour and releasing an EP in 2012, their first full-length album, "Days Are Gone" landed last September.



Haim consists of three sisters: Alana, Danielle and Este, Haim hailing from Los Angeles, California.


I first heard about the girls through the Shadowboxer's monthly cover series, when they covered Haim's "If I Could Change Your Mind" last November. To me, their music is nostalgic of the 80's yet sounds so current. I dig it… you should grab a shovel too.

Check out this one last video of Haim covering Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough."

I'm On Top Of The World, 'Ey!


Imagine Dragons - Top of the World

Alright, back to the music, been busy with the remodel at work lately.

Last month, when I was asked what my favorite song of 2013 was, I automatically spit out Imagine Dragons - Top of the World… then I realized it came out the year before. #fail

BUT, it was that question that actually what prompted me share my favorite songs in my blog all 2014 long instead of a "30 Day Challenge," cause I don't have that kind of discipline! 





This is simply the best song to get you focused and amped during yoga. Just sayin'.

PS. Happy Game Day y'all! #championships #niiiineeers #NEpats #seeyouattheSuperBowl,BrunoMars
