Daily Song: Feist on Sesame Street

I saw Feist last Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl. She is one sweet rocker lady. Here she is on Sesame Street.

daily video: the girl effect

women. what does it take for us to be strong? society tells us we're weak and that we need men. but mostly, we need ourselves. we need to have a voice, to discover our own strength, and to take courage with action that we can only do ourselves.

this video here is a little bit self righteous and smells of the bay area (love you guys). but i like the end part. It says:

"Invest in a girl and she will do the rest."

how true! all the ladies need are people who will invest in them and let them do the rest.

Here is a great post on investing in your self.
And I'm reading this. J.K. Rowling speaks at Harvard about the fear of failure and actually failing. Need that one.

Daily Song: Shelter

For our souls.  Because sometimes we need a beautiful voice to remind us that we have shelter wherever we are at.

Daily Song: A Waltz for a Night

I've been thinking about the movie "Before Sunset." I'm not sure if watching it will make me wail or feel happily diverted. But what a lovely movie. One of my top favorites. Enjoy the song at the end by Julie Delpy.

Daily Song: Esperanza Spalding

Wow, two in one day. breaking rules. She is wild and fierce and lovely. Enjoy.

Daily Song: If Only

I love this song.
especially the chorus: If only you could see me now....bap bap wah wah

Daily Song: Bittersweet

This is just funny. Lol. I like the ghetto home video/brady bunch feel and the fact that John Mayer and Kanye sing together. It's a good song or as D. says, "classic Kanye." But the combination of a nice J.M. and K.W. collaboration, some spot on lyrics on how couples feel, and absurd lines (I'll never hit a girl, but I'll shake the shit out of you) makes this a pretty top pick.

Watch the guy's face when he sings "And she say, muhf**ka, yo mama's a bitch." It is hilarious.

Daily Song: Stronger Woman

holy crap i found my theme song in the form of jewel and country music.

the part where she sings "the kind of woman i'd want my daughter to be, ohhh" makes me twinge. it's so twangy and too country and unbecoming but everything else is AWESOME! Ladies, this song is for you!
