Now if I hadn't changed what computer my iPod connects to about 2 months ago..this list would have been just about 78% The Beatles. I think they only pop up once because I listen to them on shuffle alot so it has 301 songs to go through..and its hard to double up and play the same song 30 times when you have so much.


I just watched this..and had no idea it was for a movie..I think I'll find out what it is and watch it now..I love John Prine :)

That Means Alot

So I didn't have any ideas for today so I looked up events that happen on this day of Feb 20. Thus finding out today is Brian of BSB's birthday! I also want to add..I still think this is one of the coolest videos..as teenie bopper as it may be.

Backstreet Boys - Everybody - MyVideo

Also today was the offical recording date of The Beatles song That Means a Lot in 1965. I love it :) This song was originally intended to be for the awesome epic moive and soundtrack of Help! but The Beatles weren't to hot with how the song turned out so they didn't use it.

The song was thus then giving to this guy P.J Proby because Epstein needed a song for him(I guess he wasn't a good song writter?) Anyways its the 1st song in the video below..the others are other songs that The Beatles wrote that were given away to other artists.

Leaf Crushing Music.

So I love to walk..and go out of my way to step on dead crunchy leaves. These are some songs that I personally prefer to do this with :)

To begin the list..
1) Anything by The Shins (Of course)
2) It aint you by Howling Bells (this is just a personal choice may not be leaf crushing quality for everyone!)
3) Mr. Nice Guy or If you'll be Mine - Each Passing Day (and if you have never heard of him..check it out..amazing)
4) Maureen-Vetiver (I just LOVE this song!)
5) Each Coming Night- Iron & Wine

So thats my list...leave a comment with any suggestions or songs you think I should add :)


I wanted to post a video for If you'll be mine but I could only find a video that wouldn't let you so I did this one instead!

Here Comes The Sun

I thought I would start my blog by sharing my favorite song! So here it is, obviously, Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles.
