what happened to winter?

This is the mildest winter in my recent (and pretty much total) memory. We haven't had many storms, and when we do, we usually get rain instead of snow...at least down in the valley. But even still, there hasn't been as much snow as there usually is in the mountains and the temperatures are above average. Why can't we get in on the storms that dumped on the rest of the country back in December and the one that's supposed to hit the East coast tonight? That's our snow!!

I want it to snow and snow and snow all through January and February and then let spring in around my birthday. I don't care how cold it gets, as long as there is snow to go with it. I JUST WANT SOME SNOW!

My friend posted True Love on my Facebook page tonight and said I would love it. And she was right, I do love it! There's a lot of different elements to this song and it has a lot of depth. Also, her voice is beautiful (duh).

My BEST friend posted Heartbreak on my Facebook page last week because she knows I love Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and she loves the Freemasons. Put them together and WOW. It is one of my favorite Freemason songs (probably second to Here Comes the Rain Again).

The lyrics are what caught my attention in Hold On To Me. They're just so positive and seem to create a better outlook for me.

Yet another friend sent me Jungle Drum and said that it made him think of me when he heard it. It's a quirky song but it definitely gets stuck in my head. I listened to some of her other stuff and it's not bad, but too slow for what I was in the mood for that day.

Both versions of Another Chance are great. I really love the original but found the Kaskade remix to be a nice change.

the best chai tea

The Park Cafe has the BEST chai tea I have ever had. It is super delicious and I'm pretty sure they make it with cream, but I don't know if I really want to know that so I haven't asked. Start out with a full, steaming mug of chai and then when it gets towards the bottom, I get a refill of coffee and the chai gives it just enough sweetness. Mmmmmmm!

It's the Future!

We made it to the future. 2010 is here and soon we'll all be wearing silver jump suits and have flying cars. G___ has been saying it for years and now it's finally here!

Currently listening...

1. Deepest Blue - Deepest Blue
2. Above & Beyond - Air For Life (Airwave mix)
3. Plumb - In My Arms (Bimbo Jones remix)
4. Jonas Steur feat. Jennifer Rene - Fall to Pieces
5. Tiesto - Bright Morning Star
6. Markus Schulz - Perfect (Funabashi remix)
7. DJ Metzker Viktoria - Playgirl (Steve Monasse and Taylor Da Hun remix)
8. Chicane and Natasha Bedingfield - Bruised Water
9. Eric Prydz - Frankfurt
10. Kaskade - Be Still (Morgan Page remix)

Most of these songs I found on Pandora but a few of them were also introduced to me by friends. The Plumb song is one of those. My friend J___ played it for me a couple of months ago but lately I've been listening to it a LOT. It gets stuck in my head all the time. The lyrics are great, and her voice is phenomenal.

Perfect is my current favorite song. This remix is one that come on my Deadmau5 Station on Pandora one day and I love love love it. The original isn't bad, but this remix is better.

Playgirl and Bruised Water were given to me by G___. We started listening to Bruised Water in October and Playgirl just a couple of weeks ago. Both are worth checking out. There are several other mixes of Playgirl that are good but after listening to several, this is the one I like the best.

The Kaskade on this list has been around for a long time but I never cared much for the original. I like the lyrics but it's a little too poppy for me. One day I was looking up the lyrics to Be Still and the Morgan Page remix came up as one of the top results. I listened to it and like it WAAAAY better than the original.

Late again...oops! Here is November's list:

1. Zero 7 - Home
2. Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line
3. Zero 7 - Distractions
4. Sia - Lentil (Live)
5. M'Black - Heartbreak
6. Bird York - Wicked Little High
7. Bird York - In The Deep
8. Orbital - Beached
9. Orbital - Halcyon
10. Ferry Corsten - Fire

I'm going to Zero 7 next week so I've been listening to a lot of my favorite tracks. Simple Things is a fantastic album and all three of the songs listed are on it. I'm so excited for this show!!

Heartbreak is a song from a friend and I really like the vocals on this one. It's a catchy tune and I like it a lot.

Both of the Orbital tracks were given to me by a guy at work, along with several others, but these are the two I like the best (so far). He gave me a TON of music, including the Ferry as well and as soon as I sift through it all, I will most likely post more on next month's list.
