A Let's Try Something New Music Monday

Most of you know my love/hate relationship w/Playlist.com, & well the hate part finally won out. I love the simplicity of playlist.com, but I hate not being able to find some of the songs I wanted.

I may try out a few different sites, I'm not sure yet, but this week I'm using Groove Shark. It's definitely different & I'm not sure I like it yet.

I think it'd be kinda nice to have a new, cute playlist to go w/my new site. Stay tuned cuz it's coming soon!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!



*Grrrr I hate when songs aren't what they're supposed to be! Took me forever to get them how I wanted it & I didn't listen first! Sorry about that! I'm aware that Blue Monday is from New Order! I didn't mean for that one to be on this list!

Peace & Love

Shake Your Booty Music Monday

Ok, Kia from Bodhi Bear basically challenged me to do a Music Monday that will get you going while working out.

As you all know, I'm trying to be the next Mamavation Mom. This means my tushy better get moving. Ok, while I'm on the computer, I'm obviously sitting on my ass, but trust me when I say I'm moving while listening through my list & writing this up.

Part of my problem is I am always on the computer & have every reason in the world not to get up...I can do pretty much everything while at my computer! I hope this gets me going! (I think I can. I think I can. I think I can...)

I hope this helps get you moving & gets you through your Monday!

Goals for today:

• drink at least 64 oz of water
• get moving in one way or another for at least an hr
• NO SODA!!!!
  

Peace & Love

I Do Love My Music Mondays

I love how music can soothe your soul...even if you didn't realize that you needed it. I so love how music can be like a great movie that you feel. You feel the upbeat action, humor. You feel the heartbreak. You feel the calm, resolve. It's like a perfect ending. It brings such peace & contentment. (Is is me, or is Pink able to do all of this on her own??)

I picked only women for this week's Music Monday. I don't have a reason really, I just felt like it
Yes, I had to put in a song called Song for Eric for 2 reasons. (If you don't know why, you need to visit me more often, but I'm feeling nice enough to explain.) 1. Hubby's name is Eric. 2. My love for Tori! (duh!)

I hope you enjoy it. I hope it helps break you into your Monday, so it's not quite so harsh!

When you are done listening to here, I suggest (nice word for command!) you check out The Greer 5's Music Monday! Brittany always has some great selections!

Peace & Love

My Last Music Monday of 2009

Good morning & happy Monday to everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful Xmas or three day weekend for you non-Xmasers. I did, but I will go over mine in a separate post...you know, to make it look like I'm doing stuff.

I've got here, my last Music Monday for the year, for the decade! I hope you like it. For those of you without the kiddos around, turn it up! For those of you who have them right next to you or you're unlucky (or lucky) enough to be working:HEADPHONES! As usual, most of it's fine for wherever you are or whomever might be listening, but there's always one or two...

Have a great day!

Peace & Love

A Holiday Music Monday

Welcome to the Christmas Countdown...

Here are my holiday music picks on this, the week of "get me that!". I know I'm late for Hanukkah, terrible non-practicing Jew that I am, but made sure there were at least a couple Hanukkah songs included (Adam Sandler counts!)

I couldn't do quite as long a list as usual cuz I don't love holiday music, not nearly as much as I love other music, & I'm not feeling the holiday cheer.

I'm not down. per se, just not feeling the happy, bubbly, & oft religious music.

Don't get me wrong, I do love some of them, not necessarily for their words, but for their feel. Carol of the Bells, Little Drummer Boy, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; the melodies & harmonies...I just close my eyes & listen.

I hope y'all are having a happy holiday season. Remember the whole "Peace on earth & Goodwill towards men (& women)". In my opinion, that means: Even if you're an asshole, knock it off...at least until after the new year. Then you can make a resolution to not be an asshole, & that gives everyone an extra week without your shit. Thank you.

After you're done listening here, go check out Brittany's, from The Greer 5, choices! (Her's are a little more traditional.)

Peace & Love

Post-Holiday Music Monday

I'm in a cranky, bloated, fat, bitchy mood, so I doubt this is the right time to do this, but in the mood I'm in, it won't get done if I don't do it now. I just don't care right now.

I'm happy my most favoritest eating holiday is done & my birfday celebrating over with. I've eaten practically whatever I want & now feel like I could fill 2 seats (who knows, I just might).

This playlist took me less time because I do not feel like organizing them into something that flows nicely. I usually put in so much work on them for the 5 of you who actually listen to them, but I don't have it in me today. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate each of you, I'm just frustrated & cranky. You may get that feel when you listen. Most of these were added 2 weeks ago, can you tell which I added today? I'll give you a gold star if you get them all right.

I hope my crankiness didn't add to yours (Monday after a holiday? I'm sure you're feeling some.)

Happy Monday.

Peace & Love

An Almost Anything Goes Music Monday

Happy Monday all!

I think I finally have my playlist done (I have 4 playlists in progress, so I should be good for a couple weeks.), woo hoo! I put so much time & effort into these & I'm soo damn picky that it's almost a relief when I finish!

I was going to do show tunes for this week's Music Monday & then figured: Ya know my birfday is next week, so I'm going do the show tunes for my birfday, since I will probably enjoy them more than anyone else! Then I started going through other peoples playlists & hearing songs I've never heard before & ones that I haven't heard in years! I had so many songs going that I had to start another list and this list is still longer than usual!

It becomes hard to do these every week because I don't want to always put the same songs in a list~especially when I love soo many! I want people to start participating & letting me know some of the songs they like. I can do a Listeners' Choice playlist. Otherwise, y'all are stuck w/mine. Just to make you play with me, I may start putting crazy stuff in, & only crazy stuff! (Not really, I listen to my playlists over & over again.)

Peace & Love

I Am A Music Pain

This Music Monday might be different. If it seems like it's coming from different people, that's because it is. In my head, I know exactly what I'm lookin' for. If I can't put it into words, though, I can't search. Arrrrggghhhh!!!!!

Luckily there are people that kinda get me, that can help me pull the thoughts out of my head. Unfortunately, after dealing w/me for a bit, they gave up on me. Yes, I am picky when it comes to my Music Mondays. They had great songs, but not what I was looking for for this play list, so I took a couple songs from each & continued on my music journey. Some are from other play lists, but they fit perfectly into this one.

So over 5 hrs(& a headache) later, here is my music for the new week. I hope you enjoy it!

Now let's see if I can pull my ass up from this couch. I think I'm stuck!

Peace, Love & Happy Monday

A Music Monday Ride...Like Six Flags, but Different

This Music Monday is gonna be a little different, a little weird, a little loud, a lotta me.

Most people may not like this playlist, but for the most part, this is for me. It shows my emotions & my personality (& my sense of humor). If you do not like dirty songs, or foul language, don't listen to this. Some of these songs just crack me the hell up. Like everyone else, though, I'm not always up. I live on an emotional roller coaster.

Music makes a big difference to my mood & therefore my life. It helps to soothe me, makes me happy, lets me be silly, makes me cry, lets me yell in rage while in traffic (thank you Dope!), & then soothes me again.

Welcome to my roller coaster.

I hope you have a wonderful Monday.

Peace & Love.

A Halloweeny Music Monday

Honestly, I forgot Halloween was on Saturday, so next weeks Music Monday is done. Then I had an "Oh Shit!" moment & so I finally finished this at 10:30 at night. I got most of these here. I think they're fun & spooky & sexy. I don't know, they're something. Enjoy!

I hope you all have a great Monday!

Peace & Love.

It's That Time Again!

It's Happy Music Monday Day! I have another round of covers for you! I love most of these, & again, some of them just make me chuckle. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Peace & Love

Happy Music Monday Day!

I am so thankful it's time to work on Music Monday again! Paparazzi WOULD NOT leave my head! It was so bad, that before bed on Friday, I had to pull up the ol' youtube & listen/watch Glee's Halo/Walking on Sunshine & It's My Life/Confessions, which worked, but unfortunately, they are now stuck in my head. I'm listening to my Music Monday to review & see how the songs I picked go together, cuz yes, I did put some interesting things (at least to me) in there.

Happy Monday to all! I hope you enjoy this group of songs as much as I do!

Peace & Love

Music Monday Covers (You Know I Loves Them!)

Ok, I just spent the last 2 hours going through songs for y'all (It's hard because I only put songs I like on here!). While tons of songs pop into my head at any random moment, it's hard to call them to me on command (Getting old sucks!). I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I HATE research! Ok, so I did start to have some fun with this. This reminded me of songs I had forgotten & some of them just made me giggle. I hope you all enjoy & it helps you to have a happy Monday.

I know there are a ton I've left out, but give me a break here, I gave you a couple more than usual! (Oh, & I have more for another time.)


Peace & Love

Music Monday is Back!

A little pick-me-up to get y'all going, I made this one a little heavier. I hope you enjoy!

Have a Happy Monday!

Peace & Love

Yet Another Music Monday

Happy Monday, peoples! Here is another Music Monday. More songs that keep me going. Again, if there is anything that you think I should try listening to, let me know!

I hope you all have a great day!

Music Monday Has Returned

Ok, I forgot to finish my list yesterday, so this is what you get. Let me know if you see a theme. Let me know if you think I missed anything, so I can add!

Mondays are hard, so I hope this helps you just a little bit! I hope everyone has a great day!

Peace & Love
