Medicine for Mondays: Small Faces


I know I usually post upbeat, rockin' tunes from some of my fave ladies on a Monday morning, but I love the Small Faces and was happy to come across this live footage from 1966. This song is my total jam.

Flashback Friday: Slow Children



I was just pleasantly reminded how much I adore Slow Children. One of my favorite weekly radio shows on WEVL played Spring In Fialta this morning during my commute and I nearly ran off the road in gleeful celebration (read: me dancing like a dork behind the steering wheel). Happy Friday!

Tuesday Tunes: Yuck


Here's the latest little gem from UK band Yuck. I know, I've posted some of their stuff before. But their songs are feeling like summer to me right now and I'm fully embracing it. This particular video may be considered NSFW for some, but I just think it's art. I know it when I see it.

Medicine for Mondays: Little Eva


C'mon, baby! I'm trying to get loco-motivated this Monday morning. Ugh. How about you?

Flashback Friday: Bauhaus



Give me just a little rain and some black clouds overhead and I go right to what I like to call my "Winter place." There were big fat raindrops falling as I headed in to work this morning - I immediately turned the ol' iPod to Bauhaus. This first one's a classic, of course. And I adore their very punk cover of T. Rex's Telegram Sam. I told you I was (not-so-secretly) Goth.

How, exactly, does one approach Iggy Pop to do backing vocals?

Flashback Friday: Pretenders



The Pretenders' first LP was one of the first albums I ever owned. I think these songs may well be engrained in my DNA by now. That whole record still makes me so happy. And Chrissie Hynde will forever be on my top ten list of girl crushes. She. Is. Awesome.
