Proclaim it Proclaimers!

Music Pick of the Day: I'm Gonna Be(500 miles)
Artist:  The Proclaimers

Are you kidding??  How can you not L-O-V-E this song?  I hope you haven't quite forgotten about this 90's beauty because it may be a timeless masterpiece to say the least.  My first thought is... what are those accents?  Irish? New Zealander? Scottish?  I'm gonns guess Irish... what about you?  I'm not trying to be punny, but those accents really accentuate the awesomeness of this tune.  And please tell me you watched the music video!  Are they twins?  Twins with the exact same eye glasses prescription?  When you see someone playing music with coke bottle Buddy Holly eye glasses, you can bet it's gonna be entertaining, but multiplying it by 2!  AND speaking of multiplying it by two, they do exude exemplary mathematic skills (and I expected no less).  500 miles + 500 more miles IS 1000 miles.  Lyrical genius?  I think yes.  Not to mention the mushy heart-warming aspect of having a man offer to walk 1000 miles to fall down for you... okay not necessarily these men.  I'll let you make that choice.  I have endless love for this song... and I'm not afraid to Proclaim it!

Oh Ting Tings...

Music Pick of the Day:  That's Not My Name
Artist: The Ting Tings

Boppin' Drums + Hoppin' Sound Machine + Kickin' Lyrics = Ear Bud Happiness

Have you ever been cruising in your El Camino and heard this song come on the radio?  Of course you have!... and if you haven't, your ears may be sad, and I want your car please.  Sad ear syndrome can only be cured with a heavy dose of this song.  It's like half the time I'm listening to this song I'm not even sure what she's saying, but I just don't care who knows it!  I'm too caught up in jumping around and shaking what my mother gave me.(?) Plus, making up your own lyrics is much more enjoyable when in a confused state, and a time honored tradition for me.  Not only is this song capable of enducing spontaneous aerobic activity, BUT it has been known to turn a frown upside down.  Oh Ting Tings... you're neat.

love,
Amanda... that's not my name!...........ok, maybe it is.
