Sarah "Hangs" With Robyn

               

I don't know much about Robyn (it looks like I need to, though), but I do know Sarah Jaffe. She's one of my favorite folk artists. I saw this on the home page of Billboard for Mashup Monday and had to watch it. Sarah talks about the way she perceived the dance/electronica song when she heard it, and I thought it was really cool. I love to discover what artists my favorite artists listen to.
Sarah's voice is just gorgeous- soft, and a little raspy. Robyn is obviously complete opposite. I believe it takes true talent to be able to remake a song into something completely your own, and that's what she does here. Love is universal, no matter how different two people may be.

It's definitely a Monday.

It's 1:15 am and I don't feel like doing anything productive. I don't even know why I'm up. But it's officially Monday... crap.
I teach a dance camp this week for an hour and a half every day, oh, joy. I'm actually kind of excited about it, because I love to teach dance and I can usually stand to work with children. Wish me luck.
I'm teaching a routine to the song Follow The Leader by Soca Boys, it'll be great for the little devils to waste some energy to. Haha...
I'm sitting in a friends room listening to Dane Cook while one friend is playing a video game and the other is passed out on the floor. I ate WAY too much food this evening... Typical night.
I've begun working on a Pandora radio station to represent my blog, it's coming along pretty well. It'll only get better in time, though.
It's now 2 am, and I've realized I've been locked out of my room, until my roommate, who doesn't even sleep in our room, comes back to the room at about 4:30 am. It's definitely a Monday. *sigh*.

Yet another Monday

I can't get over how perfect her voice is. This is probably one of my most favorite songs of all time.

Today is a Monday kind of day.

I feel like writing a new post, but honestly I don't have much to write about. I feel really BLAH today... There are so many thoughts buzzing around in my head. I think I need to get a few poems out. Maybe a song, I don't know. But my brain feels cluttered. It's strange, I feel lonely. I don't know how it's possible. I'm so busy, surrounded by people and lots to do. But I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe I just need a job and more work to do. Or it could be that I'm missing my brain. That's kinda how I feel.

I listened to Edge of Desire by John Mayer about six times today. The overall sound is kind of mirroring my mood lately. I also listened to Scar Tissue by RHCP, it's my favorite by them.
I'm also in the middle of compiling a Valentine's Day Playlist, stuff that's very easy to dance to.

Here's what I've downloaded so far today:


Amazed by Lonestar
I Need a Doctor by Dr. Dre ft. Eminem and Skylar Grey
Princess Ke$ha by Ke$ha (don't even bother, it's a stupid song.)
We In the Buildin' by Moufy
Party Til We Pass Out by Moufy
Lights (WIRED Dubstep Remix) by Ellie Goulding
Roll Up by Wiz Khalifa
Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Kiss From A Rose by Seal (idk why this wasn't in my library already)


I also just realized it's the last day of January... It's already been a month of 2011? WTF, already? This is creepy.
