Tuesday Tunes ~ Thursday Edition ~ Long Hard Times To Come

We took our girls to their first Detroit Tigers game on Labor Day weekend.  They, and we, had a blast. 

Every batter has their own theme song that is played as they come on deck, and every time Andy Dirks was up his song jumped out at me.  So I went home and googled it, and of course, I found it.

"Long Hard Times to Come" is also the theme song to the FX series Justified, and since I couldn't find an official video this Justified-version will have to do.  I love it.  Great song.

Tuesday Tunes ~ Thursday Follow Up

And here is the full video for Katy Perry's Roar.

Tuesday Tunes ~ Roar

She is teasing us folks.  The whole video is still not released and my very cool children have me addicted to the song.  OK, breathe, I mean roar, I mean be patient... I've got the eye of the tiger...

Tuesday Tunes ~ Blurred Lines (What Rhymes with Hug Me?)

I don't love this song as much as I did a month ago, but it still makes me wanna move.  The video, on the other hand, is something I just decided to investigate.  It cracks me up, and I just can't believe that this is Jason Seaver's son.  #Thicke

 

Tuesday Tunes ~ Made For Love

At my day job.  Yes, as an un-cool Mom who recently entered the land of ages that start with four, I have a day job.

At my day job, I have connections to some music and this song and I are connected.  I would also love to be connected to John Legend, but I don't see that happening.

"Made to Love" can be heard in a super suave commercial for the Chevy Impala.  Or you can hear it in Mr. Legend's very interesting, official music video below.  Sometimes, listening is enough.

Tuesday Tunes ~ Some Nights- Glee Style

I am a Gleek.  I admit it.  I didn't watch from the beginning, but over Christmas break of the second season I got caught up and I haven't missed one since.  The Thanksgiving episode featured a New Directions cover of Some Nights by Fun. and it was awesome.  Below you can see if for yourself.  And today you can buy the new soundtrack for Season 4- Glee: The Music - Season 4 Vol 1 which also includes their version of Gangnam Style.  Yes, you heard me.  Gangnam Style.  Yeah, we used to be cool.

Tuesday Tunes ~ Little Lion Man

During a month of sharing what we're thankful for I want to state that I am thankful for Spotify.

Spotify has allowed me to listen to music in it's entirety without buying it, and it gives me a chance to hear some tracks I wouldn't normally get to hear.  It also give me a chance to pile up on whatever I'm in the mood for at any given time.

In the last year I have fallen head over heels for Mumford & Sons, and today's Tuesday Tunes (on Wednesday, no less) is one of my favorites.  From the harmony to the variety of instrument sounds blending together I get goose bumps every time I hear it.  I think you will too.

 

Tuesday Tunes ~ Creepy Crawlies

OK, so this isn't my kid's band.  But she did have a concert tonight and she did play this song.  And the timing is perfect.  Enjoy.

Tuesday Tunes ~ Harmony

Harmony - /ˈhärmənē/
Noun:

1. The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions with a pleasing effect.
2. The study or composition of musical harmony.

What is is about Harmony?  A good harmony- live or recorded- can give me goose bumps.  So, when I stumble on a song featuring pleasing chord progressions I usually play it.  A lot.  And loud.  My kids must pay attention because Ryann just asked to download this song to her iPod.  She had heard it on one of my Spotify playlists.  Lucky for her I had already purchased the track, and all she had to do was log on to the cloud and download it to her own device. Happy kid.  Happy Mama.

Ready or Not aka Tuesday Tunes

Ready or Not.

I've got one in middle school now, (post and a giveaway about that later this week) and another who makes me download songs like this to her iPod before bedtime.  **Shakin' my head**

 

Tuesday Tunes

So, I got a new car which is a super cool post in and of itself.  But as a sidebar it has satellite radio and on the 80's channel the other day I heard this song.  My 80's self LOVED this song.  What a nice surprise.

Tuesday Tunes

We just returned from our annual Drummond Island vacation complete with a day "pontooning" on Potagannissing Bay on Lake Huron.  We cook out on the raft near a beach on Harbor Island, we pull the kids on tubes, and we enjoy a laid back day in the sun.  All 22 of us.


And while our pontoon didn't have a roof to jump off of (next year maybe?) we did have coolers and coozies :)  Enjoy this video from Little Big Town which summarizes our day quite nice.
