What’s one thing that made you happy today?
For me: Side-job extra cash for adventure funding. To unexpectedly good results, I started a new second job as a waitress last week. A) Friendly staff + basic pub menu=easy peasy training. B) Winning Red Sox games + good weather =friendly and generous customers. Factor in both parts of this equation and it’s clear why I’m not having a hard time getting used to this whole working two jobs again thing.
Peace,

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what I would put on my “bucket list” and even made up a list.
What things are on your bucket list?

If I were a color, I would forsuredly be coral. The picture of summer: a coral dress and some turquoise jewelry (turquoise is coral’s complementary color). It’s decided: I need me a dress like this for summer formalities: graduations, weddings, etc. Any ideas?

If you like: Nick Drake, Bon Iver, Ray Lamontagne, Brett Dennen
Then let me introduce: Alexi Murdoch
The forerunner of my weekend morning playlists, Alexi Murdoch may just have the most powerfully soothing voice around. London-born and Scottish and Greek bred, the singer/songwriter has been featured in The OC and Garden State and more recently on the folksy soundtrack of Away We Go. Yet despite his perfect English-accented voice and amazing songwriting, he manages to fly under the radar. Maybe popular culture already has enough adorable singer/songwriters? [John Mayer and company] Or maybe the beauty of his music is that it is best appreciated alone and un-fussed? Either way, this Brit will hopefully have a permanent place on many-a-mix of yours.
Starter Kit:
“Orange Sky”
“All My Days”
“Breathe”
If you like: Ben Folds, The Shins, Spoon, The New Pornographers
Then let me introduce: A.C. Newman
On releasing a solo album, Carl Newman, lead singer of the New Pornographers, explains, “People will say ‘Man, this sounds like the New Pornographers. And then I think if Jeff Tweedy put out a solo record, would people go ‘This is bull****. It sounds like Wilco.’ Well, duh, of course.” Just as I would never want a Toby Leaman solo project to not sound like Dr. Dog or a Zach Schwartz album to be completely un-Rogue Wave, A.C. Newman parallels the sound of The New Pornographers perfectly. Smart lyrics and the perfect musical hook continues to be his formula to success and the indie pop I love to love.
Starter Kit:
“Miracle Drug”
“Prophets”
“Take On Me” (a-ha cover)
“On The Table”
