On the Road Again…and again…

May 27, 2010 by

I’m on the road a LOT…my parents, sister, and a lot of my best friends live far, far away from me and it seems like I’m ALWAYS on the road. Jams are very important on the road and these are a few I can’t seem to get enough of these days. They might be oldies, but they’re also goodies!

Rock on

March 25, 2010 by

I think it was seeing two of my favorite bands, Muse and Silversun Pickups that got me in the mood for this post.  I absolutely love going to concerts.  I have a great concert schedule lined up with Ben this summer and I really can’t wait.  As a tribute to all things that rock, check out these items.

  1. Guitar  Spatula
  2. Muse Carpenter Headphones – I saw these and thought they were for true music lovers.  This site has some really modern twists on the average earbud.
  3. Ipod Hoodie – are you kidding me?  Did someone read my mind and all things I HEART before they decided to design this.  Honestly, I see no real functional purpose for this, but love the hell out of  it.
  4. Recycled Vinyl Coasters –  too cute.  Also, this site where I found these is too neat.
  5. Ticket Diary – who keeps every.single.ticket.stub?  I do and I think this is the perfect place to store these babies and give them the attention they deserve.
  6. Owl Ipod Case – owls are everywhere now, but I swear AK was ahead of that trend.  This ones for you AK!
  7. Guitar Picture Frame – I think a pic of Ben and I at our fav concert would be perfect in this.  Plus, love the original look and feel.
  8. Music Necklace – simple and love the purple.

Year In Review: Music

December 30, 2009 by

I’m an avid iTunes-er (I just made up a word, oh yes I did).  So I thought I’d take a walk down memory lane from the year 2009 and share with you what I feel have been my-top-listened-to songs via the iPod.  Yes it will be heavily COUNTRY–cut me some slack..I live in Texas, I grew up with parents that listened to country, and I’m a sucker for a story telling song. I also like me some pop every now and then because like I’ve said in other posts, we like to dance around here.  Do we dance well? No.

  1. Lee Ann Womack, Solitary Thinkin’-I love a blues-y Lee Ann Womack and my son smiles when this song comes on.
  2. Lady Antebellum, Need You Now-This song just got stuck in my head when I heard it, that’s when I know I need to buy it.
  3. Kelly Clarkson, My Life Would Suck Without You-This one’s for you J.Wo!
  4. Miranda Lambert, The House that Built Me-LOVE her voice in this song, LOVE the story.  Miranda kills it on this one.
  5. Lady Gaga, Just Dance-This is thanks to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, can’t stop jamming.
  6. Willie Nelson, I’m Alive-I know Kenny Chesney has his own version of this but I think it changes meaning when Willie sings it.  Gotta love Willie Nelson.
  7. Kenny Chesney, Way Down Here-Sad and hopeful song, I’ve listened to it a million times.
  8. Dierks Bentley, Pray-I love me a slow Dierks Bentley song.  Really great song.
  9. Taylor Swift, Love Story-Man-o-man I wasn’t really a Taylor Swift fan and then I heard this about eleventy billion times and I started liking it and then next thing you know I bought the son of a gun.
  10. Miley Cyrus, Party in the U.S.A.-my son dances to this, alot.  So does his mama.  So does Der.
