When you date a Professor of Geography, you learn a lot of things. For instance, you learn that the band Journey was probably just a cover for serial killers. Captain Thoughtful (or should I say Professor Captain Thoughtful?) clued me on this one day when I was singing along (loudly) to “Don’t Stop Believing”. Me: [...]

I Believe I Am Owed Some Money

Last night, I went to see The Black Keys play live here in Austin. They killed it. But, more importantly, they owe me money. Why? Well, as many of you will remember, when I reviewed El Camino right here on this blog, I mentioned that my favorite track on the album was ‘Gold On The [...]
I May Be Overdoing It On The Musicals.

I love musicals. I really really love musicals. But the thought struck me that I may be overdoing it on the musicals when I realized that I structure my days around songs from musicals. In the morning, while I’m getting ready for work, I sing this- When I get to work, I’m always humming this- [...]

This week is SXSW in Austin and usually I try to avoid it at all costs because it means there will be lots of strangers in my city walking in the middle of the street, clogging up all my favorite restaurants, and taking all the best parking spots downtown, which turns me into a grouch extraordinaire. [...]

When I was a little girl, there were two things that I was excessively proud of. My super cool dance moves and that I could sing every word of Footloose. I remember beaming with pride every time Footloose came on the radio because I thought it was a really difficult song to remember the words [...]

Last night, I went to see The Civil Wars play live at the Paramount theater in Austin, which happens to be one of my favorite places, and once again it was STUNNING. Some of you may remember that I first saw The Civil Wars play last July in Austin and I was put under an [...]

I am in full-out holiday spirits right now. I am a present wrapping, cookie making, cookie eating, under the mistletoe kissing, cider drinking, holiday sweater wearing fiend right now. And these are my jams. Feliz Navidad I know some people get sick of this song but I can’t get enough of it! It makes me want to [...]
I Have A New Love In My Life…

I bet you think this post is about my boyfriend. Sike! It’s about the new Black Keys album El Camino. Ok. Everyone needs to open their iTunes and buy El Camino immediately. I love The Black Keys and this is another stellar album put out by them. They had me from track one, although my [...]

So, I’m at the Cut Copy show at ACL just minding my own music loving business when I notice a camera crew setting up and a small cluster of people around it. Being a curious cat that has so far escaped being killed, I checked it out. What I saw was a good looking man [...]
I Shouldn’t Be This Excited By A Movie About Muppets.

I’m just going to jump right in and hopefully not jump the shark. (Poor Fonzie, I thought that was an awesome trick). I am so STOKED for the new Muppets movie. Truly. I’ve always loved the Muppets and have seen all their adventures many a time, now my one of my favorite people, Jason Segel, [...]
