My Ramblings
Take 5: Songs that take me back. . .
As I've mentioned before, I love music. I love listening to it, I love playing it, I love being taken over by a melody, a chord, or lyrics. There are a few songs, however, that remind me of very specific things - a time, a location, a feeling....
I know it’s been awhile. . . .
I've had a busy few weeks - my birthday was in there too - which has kept me from being able to write. I have not been happy about this, but did jot down some ideas to write about during the craziness so will be getting back into the swing of things soon. ...
Jammy’s Jam of the Day – July 3, 2011
I was tipped off to the 23 This Year: The Sub Pop Amazon Sampler (which is FREE on Amazon! - go get it now!) by a friend, and came across this song while shopping at Target. Yes, I often to music while grocery shopping, which sometimes leads me to strutting...
Help me decide!
I like snarky/witty/random tshirts and I'd like to get a new one for my birthday. However, there are just too many great options out there and I can't decide. So, I'm looking for some help to spend a bit of my money by crowdscourcing the decision. Here are...
Take 5: Albums everyone should own

Why I am not boycotting the Basilica Block Party
First let's start with some facts: 1. I am a Catholic and a DFLer. 2. I like live music. 3. I am very much opposed to this amendment (edit: I am referring to the constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Minnesota), and will work to see it...
Jammy’s Jam of the Day – June 18, 2011
Lily Allen "Take What You Take" I'm going to let the lyrics speak for themsevles on this one. Say what you say, Do what you do Feel what you feel, As long as it's real. I said take what you take And give what you give Just be what you want, Just as long as it's real....
My Top 5 Songs of the Moment
Hi Everybody! I'm Emily, and as Melissa said, I'm going to post a few things on here every once in awhile. I thought I'd start out with a Top 5. As a lot of you know, M has been expanding her musical horizons for the last couple of months, and I've...
