Chips and Chats

Elsa Cat is shooting a :30 :60 :90 spot for our company today, and as the Nosey Nellie I am, I wanted to go over and check it out. Before doing so, it was lunchtime and I asked Neavesy if she wanted to hit up Chuy's.
"Sure, I guess. I've never been."
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?!?!?!
How is this possible? A Texas native who had not been to Chuy's?
I.
Was.
Floored.

Off we went. Chips were had. Jalapeno ranch was dipped. Tacos devoured. (No alcoholic beverages were consumed.)
Here is the range of topics we discussed in the space of an hour:

Oscars: nominations, movies, best pictures, what we need to see (Selma, American Soldier, Theory of Everything), most won awards and Disney
EGOTS
Whoppi Goldberg
Audrey Hepburn
Lewis CK
Black Jeopardy
Everything is Awesome
Lego movie not being made of legos

The conversation had a great cadence which continued on to the shoot where we met up with Elsa Cat and talked for two hours. I'm loving my team.

(I texted KelBel and PinTrish a photo of the chips and dips, just to rub it in their faces. They weren't too amused.)

Music Monday - Things You Think You've Heard Before

"Tightrope" by Janelle Monae




"1904" by The Tallest Man On Earth




"Your Silent Face" by Fujiya & Miyagi

Music Monday - A Story in Three Acts

Act One: A Winter Waltz


Act Two: A Jam Session


Act Three: Finale

Music Monday - Finger Eleven, Glass Animals, Belle and Sebastian, Gary Clark Jr, The Jam

If you’re feeling a little lovesick or perhaps a little melancholy and want to wallow in that space, here’s a song that I heard for the first time this morning that fits that bill.

They are Canadian, eh?

Alternatively, if you’re feeling amorous, I must make the recommendation to listen to this:

The video isn’t what I expected; but how can you pass up lyrics like “Mind my wicked words and tipsy topsy slurs”?

The new Belle and Sebastian album will be out in January. The first single “The Party Line” is already playing on KXT.

Another week with a great dance moves video!

Now let’s say you just threw an AMAZING party and wanted to keep that happy vibe going?

This would be the beat to get the folks on the dance floor. I really want to blare this song at max volume but I don’t think Elsa Cat or Neavesy would appreciate it.

And finally, cause I like to end on another happy song…

When will new wave / mod start making it’s comeback? Or maybe it’s already here? *Cross fingers*

Music Monday - Modjo "Lady"

It has been 14 years since I've listened to this song.
At the time, I was hanging out in Amsterdam making reckless decisions and enjoying being young.
It's a wonder I made it back in one piece.



While waiting in a bar to meet up with folks before the Mavs game, it came on the speakers and I Shazaam'd it so that I wouldn't forget.
Fantastic dance tune to start off your week.
Enjoy!

Music Monday - "North Side Gal" by JD McPherson

Aloe Blacc with "Ticking Bomb"

Its a little macabre for a Monday morning, though I do like the song for a certain type of mood. Especially if you're angry and need to let off some steam.


Reuben And The Dark with "Can't See The Light"

While the music is more upbeat, it's also a strikingly sad message. "Love is not a pretty word".


"From Eden" by Hozier

Well, I am now THREE for THREE on messages that are Debbie Downers. What was going on with me and my recent Shazams?


FOUND IT!
"North Side Gal" by JD McPherson

Now THAT'S the song to start off the week!


And one more, because it's super dope.
"Busy Earnin'" by Jungle

Those dance moves are crazy good - I want to learn the routine!

Music Monday - "Neckbrace" by Ratatat

Hello and happy Monday.

The birds are both Hitchcock-ian terrors and mesmerizing at the same time.

Music Monday - "Vagaries of Fashion" by Fujiya & Miyagi

Music Monday - "I Like It" by TEAM

I heard this song about 11 days ago on KXT; within moments I decided than not only did I like the song, but I LOVED it.


It reminds me a little of Vampire Weekend, but not exactly. They hail from here in Dallas, Texas. Go check them out!
