i sweat stars and bleed good ideas

today i'm on the hunt for music i haven't heard yet. not necessarily bands, just specific songs. 
suggestions are more than welcomed. 


on friday, in the doctor's office, i noticed a sign above the receptionist's desk which read, 
"NOTE: if you are grouchy, irritable, or just plain mean, there will be a TEN DOLLAR charge just for putting up with you."


i think someone needs to hang that sign everywhere, along with nice little collection jars.
at the end of each month, all the money from the grunchy jars will go towards me. 


why?


what do you mean "why?"
because i spoke up first, that's why.


never mind that though. 
my idea is a good one.
the grouchy, the irritable, and the just plain mean will get so poor they'll have no choice but to cheer up.


my song search is going well. i've found a few nice songs. 
song of choice, so far, is
"sticks and stones" by jonsi.
i'll put it in the music box on the sidebar so you can hear it.

please be patient. 
i am taking my time today.


also, i made a new button, and lost all of yours.
oops.
how about you just leave a comment if i ever had your button or you just want me to have your button, and i'll zip over and grab it and pop it right on my page?
that might be easier.

you're uber creative. that star handprint thing is genius and majestic. great job. i admire your creativity.

um songs....

"home" by edward sharpe and the megnetic zeros. anything by them actually. love their music. have you heard them?

"sweet disposition" by the temper trap. this song seriously always puts me in the best mood ever.

look up "the gills". they're some of my best friends ever and their music is like a happy drug. so good. "let me know", "don't stop the wheel" and "it's true" are a few of my favs. they're great and they have amazing personalities. love em.

there are a few. there's more where that came from :)

happy music finding! :)

LOVE your stars.

i have been having a strange and wonderful love affair with The Kin lately. i actually don't think i would be able to pick a favourite song, as they all are just so good.

and i always, always, always love explosions in the sky. their ability to make such powerful, emotion-filled music with no lyrics absolutely blows my mind.

:)

Looks like i have to donate $10 to the grouchy jar today.

Your sweat is beautiful, never though i would say that.

Songs songs.. Coca cola - little red. my mind is dead today so i cannot think further than that x
