If have a minute (or, like, an hour) check out The Voice.
I'm watching it right now, and I am IN LOVE.
I don't even like talent competition shows!
(I swear, they are not paying me to say this)
Man, the people who put this show together knew what they were doing. It's so suspenseful and crazy, and when the artists get to choose between the judges I can't stop jumping up and down!
It's so intense.
So check it out.
And if you're at work, wearing headphones, and being subtle?
Try watching it on igoogle. It's a much smaller screen, and you can make the rest of the page look business-like.
I live my life with a soundtrack. In the car, in my home, at work (you know, back when I had work). I am a music junky.
If you looked at my iPod, you'd find a semi-eclectic mix of Hip Hop, Country, Classic Rock, Show tunes, and a whole lot from the late 90's, and early 2000's (What? I was in highschool. That music defined my generation). In fact, my iPod probably looks a lot like yours.
The only thing I steer clear from is Classical music.
Ugh. I hate Classical music.
Growing up, we didn't listen to the radio. My parents surrounded us with The Beach Boys, Chicago, Neil Diamond, and a whole lot of Classical orchestra music.
I can handle the first three, but I think I overdosed on the Classical stuff. It just makes me angry.
Whenever I blog, I do it with background music. And I think you can tell when you read it. For example, when I wrote this fairytale post, I was listening to Pandora's Classical Christmas station. And it is a lot more refined than my usual writing.
And when I wrote this graphically violent one? A combination of Alanis Morissette, Pink, and Avril Lavigne. Of course.
Today, I hopped on iTunes and decided to download my favorite hits of 2010.
And then I thought, "Why not them with you guys?"
You're welcome.
My favorite hits of 2010:
American Honey, by Lady Antebellum
Hey Soul Sister by Train
(I have a pandora station based on Train. I love them that much.)
Chantel and Amber knew to run when they heard this. I took the lyrics as instructions, and liked to incorporate them into my dance moves.
As Chantel mentioned in this post, my favorite babysitter introduced me to The Labyrinth at an early age.
It was creepy and weird and strangely seductive.
Everything a 6 year old could want in a movie.
(Fun fact: this movie came out in 1986, 1 year after I was born. But I didn't see it until 5 years later. Because my parents hate art.)
