Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina- Stereo Love

I am so glad this song woke me up this morning! Perhaps overplayed on the radio, but an amazing "get your ass up and dance" beat nonetheless.

My brother and I recently spent hours downloading and listening to remixes of this song trying to find the perfect fit for a mixed cd we were making a cousin of ours. It reminded me of my childhood days of sitting beside him, listening to the radio, waiting for the dj to drop the perfect remix to tape for his "mixed jams". What would Chris Sheppard say about this tune? Dance Mix 2010 anyone?

Enjoy the weekend!

Dan Mangan- Robots

Today's song, not suprisingly, is another Dan Mangan masterpiece. The show was absolutely amazing, and this song in particular really, REALLY touched me last night. During concerts, I feel a deeper connection to the musician and literally FEEL where they may have been coming from in writing their song...was Dan once a robot? What did he face in following his artistic dream?

We got to sing along to this one and add our own musicality to the mix. One of my favourite parts about audience sing-alongs is listening to those urban strangers around you- some struggling to reach notes, others expertly adding to the melody. All of us coming from our own spaces in the city to unite in this song- quite magical.

A gentle (or not so gentle) reminder to see where we are being robotic in life- and to not waste our waking hours. And those robots wasting waking hours- they need love too. :)

Dan Mangan

I am going to see this artist live in concert tonight. In preparation I have been listening to his music on repeat all week. Easy to do while battling a changing of the seasons cold. This morning this beautiful song lulled me awake. I suggest you grab a hot tea, your journal, and let Dan Mangan's beautiful voice stir your soul.
