Boomerang

Love this song and video from Lucy Schwartz's latest album, "Timekeeper". Most of the dogs featured in the video are rescue dogs!

Basia Bulat

Thanks to Q for introducing me to singer/songwriter, Basia Bulat. Her new album, Tall Tall Shadows, comes out September 30. Stream the album now here. And for Chicago folks, you can catch her live at Schubas on November 7th. 

p.s. I could spend all day watching these Tiny Desk Concerts!

Best of Jimmy Fallon

The latest Jimmy Fallon/Justin Timberlake collaboration had me revisiting some of my favorite past musical sketches. Never fails to make me laugh!

Neko Case

Looking forward to seeing Neko Case live this weekend at The Hideout Block Party!

p.s. I have a bit of a radio crush on Jian Ghomeshi. Check out his show, Q, on CBC Radio.

Goat Rodeo Sessions

Excited to see Goat Rodeo Sessions at Ravinia on Sunday!

Step

Currently dancing to this new single from Vampire Weekend.

The original Mr.Big

Every once in a while I catch this song on the radio and it evokes happy memories of watching mtv after school with my older brother. I adored Mr.Big and still own Lean into It on cassette. I'm so glad I looked up this music video...it made my day (the hair!). 

There Will Come a Time

New single from Noah and the Whale's upcoming album, 'Heart of Nowhere'. I like them a whole lot.

Troubled Times

All I Want for Christmas...

...is Jimmy Fallon and The Roots.

The Tallest Man on Earth

Love this.

Passion Pit

A little music for your Monday.

The Rip Tide

Dreamy music video by Beirut. I'm loving this band more and more.

One Lovely Day

I wasn't familiar with Citizen Cope but when I heard this song on the radio, I had to hear more of his music. Beautiful stuff.

p.s. someone commented on this video that, "He's the Joakim Noah of the guitar". Made me laugh.

Return of Fiona Apple

Via {npr music}

Excited to hear that Fiona Apple is coming out with a new album after 7 years! 

Dinner and a song

I made Ravioli with sauteed asparagus & walnuts last night... 

...while listening to Olafur Arnalds beautiful Living Room Songs.

Fun

I can't get this song out my head and I've been dancing around my apartment to it all weekend. Too bad their Chicago show is sold out.

Take Me Somewhere

This husband and wife duo bought a 30-foot sailboat and set out for a yearlong tour of the Eastern Seaboard. I think that is incredibly romantic and this song has me itching to take off somewhere on an adventure.

Deck the Halls

Christine and I filmed this little stop motion video to share with friends and family. Despite the fact that we had never made a stop motion video before and are both incredibly busy, we managed to pull it off. Enjoy!

Sonic Arboretum

Looking forward to checking out this new installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
