My Friday Night Playlist #2

So I’m stuck at home on a Friday night, working. Trust me, this was not what I had in mind when the week started. I was supposed to go out. Paint the town red. Y’know, party hard. Riiiight. I don’t party. Still, the original plan to meet the buddy for dinner and a little NYC meeting was always gonna be far more fun that what I’m currently entrapped in.

Because I need a soundtrack for everything, I’ve put together a mellow playlist for this highly unexciting Friday night for me to chill out to.

Her Morning Elegance, by Oren Lavie
Bitter Heart, by Zee Avi
Lost In My Mind, by The Head and the Heart
Is It Done, by J Mascis
The Grand Optimist, by City and Colour
Mykonos, by Fleet Foxes

Back to work then. *yawns*

Musical eargasms

My favourite singing competition is baaaaack!

(Previous posts about The Sing-Off are here and here.)

Let’s talk about this performance for a minute. I don’t usually like female groups so I didn’t expect much from Delilah, and even groaned when I found out they were performing Grenade (like the song, but it’s overplayed). But this performance is crazy, crazy, AMAZING:

Right? I totally got the chills too.

This one came along next. Rap + A Cappella = SICK.

The last performance was so fun and put a silly, silly smile on my face.

I love that Sara Bareilles has taken over Nicole Scherzinger. She’s so much better, mostly because GIRL KNOWS HER SHIT.

The talent on The Sing-Off is undeniable. So why aren’t there more people watching this show?

You can listen to the rest of the performances here.

Oh, Ovaries!

I don’t know if I’ll ever get married, but if I do, I really hope my future husband and I can have kids, and have memories like these:

Seriously, OVARIES EXPLODING.
