  • Saturday Tunes, Valentines Day Edition

    Typically for Saturday tunes I share the next 10 random songs coming out of my iPod. But today is Valentines Day and its all about love and sappy stuff like that. With that in mind I am going to change things up a bit this week and share some favorites.

    Top 5 Most Listened to Songs

    1. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansgard & Marketa Irglova

    2. Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Chris Tomlin

    3. 1234 by Feist

    4. Basket Case by Green Day

    5. Stop & Stare by OneRepublic

    Top Ten Faves of the Moment

    1. Anyone Else But You by Michael Cera & Ellen Page (Moldy Peaches version is also my fav)

    2. God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash

    3. Good Riddance by Green Day

    4. I Will Not be Silent by David Crowder Band (Deliver Me, Foreverandever, and You Are My Joy are also Crowder favs)

    5. Rise by Eddie Vedder

    6. Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 (One, Beautiful Day, 40… tough to narrow it to a few U2 songs)

    7. Homecoming by Kanye West (Not sure why I like this so much, but this song rocks)

    8. Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynyrd

    9. Chanukah Song by Adam Sandler (I love Sandler songs!)

    10. Where Everybody Knows Your Name by Gary Portnoy (Yes, this is the Cheers theme song)

    OK, so I don’t have just 10 favorites. I could list 50 songs here and not cover all the best stuff. But this is a good start.

  • Saturday Tunes

    I am far from chilled out. This is the first day of my winter break. There’s plenty to do. Starting Christmas shopping would be a good start. In a couple of hours we are going to go look at a new place to rent. We’re just starting to think about this as our current place is too small. Kristen and I are going to sit down and hammer out ideas for Beyond the Zoo. (launching January 1st, ahhh!) I have a couple lingering work projects that I need to take care of. I really want to get some reading done. Yeah, lots of other things to do.

    Anyway, I’m taking a little timeout right now. Cleansing breath in. All that jazz. So here are the next 10 tunes flowing through my cranium. As always, this is a completely random shuffle. No cheating, my rating is included.
