Tunetastic Thursday - J. Roddy Walston and the Business "Take It As It Comes"

Today is a glorious day, for several reasons conflicting reasons. Conflicting, you may ask? Glorious yet conflicting? Does that even make sense?

Of course it does. Especially if you're me.

Why so glorious? For one, it's snowing. And I LOVE snow. The white stuff just makes my heart pitter patter. And two, the hubbs is taking me to see Wild Cub! Snow and travel does not bode well for me. But I'm good because I have the hubbs as my chauffeur. 

I mentioned them in a previous Tunetastic post. WEQX, my favorite radio station ever, played them and I became hooked pretty quick. Seriously, this radio station brings attention to great new bands. Like today's band, J. Roddy Walston and the Business. And eff me, if that isn't just the coolest name ever. To top it off, you have to respect someone who says, "I don't play keyboards - I play piano." on why he brings a 300lb piano on tour. There's no real video for it, and I try to link to the band's page rather than other performances or tv hosts, so I hope you like it. 


What's been on your playlist this week? Anything I should check out?

Tunetastic Thursday - The Head and the Heart "Shake"


I can already tell that this year is going to be terrific for music. And I hope to see so many bands live this year. Including today's band, The Head and the Heart. I have been a fan since their early days with songs like "Lost in My Mind", "Rivers and Roads", and "Cats and Dogs".

Now that their new album, Let's Be Still, is out, I hope they get a lot more attention. It's definitely well deserved. So for your listening pleasure...


What do you think? Does someone make you shake?

Did you miss me?


That may be a little creepy. But if you don't know where it's from, I feel like we can't be friends. Not until you watch all three seasons of Sherlock from the BBC. Then you'll get it. And you'll be hooked to quite possibly the best television series, ever. And then you'll be a Cumberlady too. 

I realize I'm a few days late, but Happy February! As with the beginning of each month, there's a printable. I have it up on my mantel for simple yet romantic decor. What do you think?


Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? I've heard some couples say that they celebrate another day. An old boss said that he let's his wife pick any other day of the year and she can call it whatever she wants, just not Valentine's Day. Whatever you call it, are you doing something lovely in the near, distant, future? I've already got Ryan's present (one point for me for preparedness), I just have to pick up a blank card from a local artist. I'm pretty sure he still hasn't even realized it's less than two weeks away (one point for him on procrastination?). 


Naturally this month's printable is holiday inspired. As made up as that holiday may be, it gives me something to look forward to. Because right now, in New York, the weather is abysmal and it looks like the world just gave up. So ugly. And depressing. I either need snow or spring. How about you? How's the weather where you live? I hope it's prettier than what's going on around here. Can I go back to the Caribbean yet?
