Kiss With a Fist!

Hello !
Another month, another mix! February is the month of "love" so most of you already have your mixes but this month was Kiss with a Fist! This is my take on love songs. I hope you enjoy. January also ended up being a wonderful concert month thanks to the wonderful Sasha! She introduced me to Guster an old but new to me band from Boston. Also she gave me the opportunity to see the amazing Carlos Santana. There are not enough words to properly describe how amazing, entertaining , and awe inspiring seeing Santana preform was. When you are in the presence of the real thing you just know it.

I hope you enjoy.. till next time keep your ears open !

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Hello friends!

It's been a long time since I've "written" something to go along with the mix. SO  to finish up this year of amazing adventures, times spent with friends, and just way too many concerts (like that's possible) I have one last mix for 2014

As cliche as it may sounds,  I see my life as a movie, a string of moments . And you know what movies have ? badass soundtracks(hopefully?!) After  an amazing talk with the lovely Apryll about those songs, artists, albumns that made you love music, I have chosen to be brave and share my favorite songs, the ones that encompass what I love about music. In my attempt to express some of the highlights of the conversation I have put together a few (yeah 4 discs) songs that meet one very important criteria.. I can NEVER seem to skip these songs when they come on.  They tether me to a moment, a memory, a person,a place, a version of who I was, am, and want to be. Or just make me laugh!  Now this list in no way includes all the songs I wanted it to The minute I hit burn I had another list of songs I wished I had put on the mix... at some point I just had to stop!! But I know from converastions with beautiful creative people like Kamila that this is  my outlet into the world and it is always evolving and more will follow..  I just want to say thank you so very much  to all of you who read my rambles and listen to my cd's, gone to concerts with me and  shared music with me!

I would love to hear what you think?? what you like? what you don't? What you want to hear in 2015???
PS I messed up.. Knights in White Satin made it on the mix twice.. it's a good song.. just listen to it twice?

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!


Well, that's just what I did. July was a slow music month , but I more than made up for it in August!!
Once again I found myself in Colorado for a show. The amazing Botanical Gardens to see Sara Bareilles with Jess, Nate, Apryll, and Rhi!! You cannot escape the beauty of  nature sitting  in the middle of a field as the back drop for your stage . Sara Bareilles is the real thing. She was absolutely stunning! Her voice was on point, her humor endearing,  with talent that could not be denied.I truly appreciate when an artist is so good at their craft that they are better than their recordings. Sara is the thing I am always looking for in music. Words, music, and soul. This is the kind of artist I will always fall in love with over and over again. I was blessed to experience her along with beautiful people!  Also  she did an INSANE cover of Sia's Chandelier .



 


Botanical Gardens 8/2/14

Spoiled, that is what the next weekend of August was for me.  My beautiful friends came out in honor of my birthday for wonderful Irish Pub Food and a beach side concert.  Thank you to Jess, Casey, Suzanne, Rhi, Karla, Jessie, Raina & Patrick for sitting in the sand with me for Counting Crows and Toad the Wet Sprocket!!  I was teleported back to high school, I wanted to scream RAIN KING at the top of my lungs!!!  The Counting Crows were all that my 17 year old self could have hoped for. IT was a brilliant mix of old and new memories. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday! Again thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who made it out for the night!

Mandalay Bay Beach 8/10/14

Visiting another pool venue Karla and I got to see Fall Out Boy and the New Politics at the Cosmopolitan . New Politics worked the crowd, hands down it has been ages since I have seen an opener rile up a crowd into a frenzy. The wild mixture of music and B Boy dance moves( insert swooning from Karla!!! see you do it too, I'm not the only one who does that at concerts!) grabbed the audience and refused to be denied! If you have not looked into them DO IT!  The show was what I was hoping would be a sort of redemption for Fall Out Boy. I have always enjoyed  them on the radio or on CD, however I have had seen lack-luster live performances that made me believe they were just one of those well produced bands with mind bending lyrics. I will say I was proven wrong. Yes I said it. I WAS WRONG!!  FOB rocked my socks off.. well if I had any socks on to start with. . They slammed out each hit at a relentless pace that left me a bit dizzy ! They in fact were amazeballs live

New Politics and Fall Out Boy Cosmopolitan pool 8/15/14

I do have one more show in the wonderful month of August( Ed Sheeran) , however since I received overwhelming amount of Itunes money this year I managed to put out two cd's in less than a month.  Recently you should have all gotten your "acoustic" mix requested by the wonderful Jessica George!! Like I said in my brief blog last week it was a challenge and adventure to pick out these songs.  I encourage you to toss out ideas at me for mixes. I get a little bored so sometimes I need you to give me an idea to  get in the grove with.

PS. I wrote this under the influence of lots of cold medication. Sorry !

So what you all have been waiting for... your the 80's mix.
