Monday Music: “1997″ Ana Tijoux
Thank you for your music suggestions! This one came on in the bar the other night when I was with Nichelle, who pointed out how awesome it was.
Monday Music: Local Natives “Breakers”
Gavin sent this to me, and I haven’t stopped listening to the whole album since.
Monday Music: “Swing Lo Magellan” Dirty Projectors
I listened to this once, then listened to it again immediately after.
Monday Music: “Thrift Shop” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
When Macklemore & Ryan Lewis came out with the song Same Love, about a dozen people sent it to me. It’s a beautiful song about marriage equality; I have a well-established reputation for being a feisty about people who love each other being allowed to get married… and I built a career on it. It’s worth the seven minute viewing, even though I never featured it here.
THIS song, however, is just ridiculous good fun, and is on my ever-rotating playlist of songs to dance around my apartment to.
Monday Music: “Express Yourself” Diplo feat. Nicky Da B
I am not responsible for what my hips do when Diplo asks me to express myself, ok?
{A heads up: the video is a little… raunchy. SFW, but a bit much.}
