A Music Meme & Comforts At Home
I was tagged by plez to do the "List of 7 Songs" challenge. I don't have an ipod, so I'm going to pull some songs from a few different places. Also, I'm changing the rule from 7 songs to whatever I end up with, because I'm like that. Deal with it! : )
Why the picture of lavender for a song challenge? Music adds a feeling of comfort at home, in my car, or even sitting with my headphones on at work. Lavender smells wonderfully comforting, and this bouquet is sitting in the corner of my hallway. It is a small, but very cozy space in my apartment.
And now to the songs. If you click on the music label below, you can find some more music that I love and there will be some repeats.
"Forgotten Love" by Etro Anime.
"Waiting Line" by Zero 7.
"Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)" by Gotan Project.
"You'll Never Find (A Better Woman) by Teedra Moses.
"We Can Be New" by Amel Larrieux.
"Cloud 9" by Donnie
I found these songs listening to my radio station online. You can listen too if you click on the icon to the right that says "Music Listen." Another song that I was groovin' to today is called "Damn" by Nightmares on Wax and I've loved everything that I've heard by Fatboy Slim. I really like Corinne Bailey Rae. Her CD is in my car and one of my favorite songs is "I'd Like To."
Also in my car CD player is Putumayo's Brazilian Groove. I love their collections of World Music. My favorite song on this CD is "Maria Moita" by Rosalia de Souza. Eventually, I plan to buy her CD Garota Moderna. I love every song that I've heard from it. It's produced by Nicola Conte, who I've also become a big fan of.
So there you have it, some music that I love. And if you want to take this up too, then consider yourself tagged!

I admire your lavender. Everytime I try to keep fragrant dried herbs out, I either knock them over and they get crushed, or they collect more dust than is worth dealing with. So I'll just admire yours, and smell my bathtime bottled essential oils.
Your lavendar is lovely! It is dried right? And if it's not, how do you manage to keep it alive? I'm always looking for easy-care plants. I kill everything!
lisa francisco - She is amazing! Mainstream radio is focused on so few, that people like her have been overlooked. It's such a shame. I'm so glad I found her online!
suldog - What a wonderful image! I would have stayed hiding too! My mom grows lavender in her garden and keeps saying she will give me a cutting, but I've yet to see it. This will have to be the year!
protegeoflife - Welcome! And I'm glad you liked it!
amisha - Hey! Glad you liked the list and I hope you check some out. Lavender cocoa butter sounds like the best soap. You make everything don't you!! So talented!
sanjay - Thanks!
tsiporah - Her music is wonderful and she has a very cool style about her. I love her clothes!
jennifer - Glad to see you back! I'd comment more, but sometimes it's hard to leave comments there.
I checked out that food blog that you just posted about. It's really wonderful. I've never heard that song "Last Day." I'll have to find it. When I first heard the Gotan Project, it was like one of those life changing moments. I felt like this whole new type of music had been opened to me. It is just the best music to dance to, drive to, or just sit back and chill out to.
I remember driving to New York last summer and having the CD blasting while I was driving over a bridge past the city. It was hot. I had my windows down and the wind was blowing. Just perfect!
plez - Thanks for the challenge and have a great vacation! I hope you like the music too!
keshi - I hope you get to listen to some of them. I'm sure you'll like them!
angela in europe - Thanks!
ari - Me too! I feel like whatever I'm doing I'm in a cool video or something when I have them playing. LOL! : )
susan - You're welcome! Glad to see you're back and feeling betta! ; )
I'm still looking for the cupcakes. I'll have to do another post if I get one!
nance - Oh the lavender fudge must be incredible!!! I tried a Dagoba lavender dark chocolate bar and loved it. I think I took a picture of it for my last food meme. It was amazing!! The smell of lavender is truly intoxicating. Add chocolate, you could practically fall unconscious from joy!
jac - You always have some new tunes going on your blog. I think you'd really like some of these groups.
bipolarlawyercook - Wow, I haven't listened to WERS in years! I used to listen to it all the time when I was in college. They really have amazing music. I wonder if I can listen to them online...
This lavender is dried, but I'm hoping to get some fresh from my mom's garden.
nina - That's happened to me with posts too. I wonder if missing posts go to the same place as lost socks in the dryer?? : )
And yes, it is dried. Both the lavender and the vase were gifts from one of my best friends from college. She is such a sweetie!
