Music is my imaginary friend

It’s time for yet another mixtape! To my surprise, I was actually asked when I would be posting a new one which was super flattering. Again, nothing fancy. There was no specific theme in mind until I started compiling the songs together and realized it was going more in the mellow direction so I threw in a few what I like to call “dance dance” songs to liven it up a bit so you all don’t think I’m in a depressive funk or anything. I like to think of it as slowly building up and then closing out quietly. According to the hubs, this is the best way to compile a mixtape so let me know if he spoke the truth!

Music is My Imaginary Friend

[Mix Fun Fact:] I honestly think Third Eye Blind is the most underestimated band ever. If you’ve only heard Semi-Charmed Kind of Life, please download their other albums. Their lyrics are so powerful, but people just view them as a poppy one hit wonder band.

Truly the best news in my music universe this week has been No Doubt’s tour date announcement.

Hands down.

I am ridiculously happy. So much so that when I saw the video & read the tour dates, I literally shrieked, jumped to my feet and started hopping all over the house. Then I launched myself on the hubs. Yeah, that’s how happy this makes me. For me, after the Smashing Pumpkins comes No Doubt and it’s been about 8 years since I saw them live. Plus, I have this ridiculous girl crush on Gwen Stefani. I think she’s amazing. So amazing that I named my dog after her.  And it goes without saying that Tony, Tom & Adrian are the best. The lyrics, the music, the high-energy shows…what’s not to love? Sorry if this post is crazy & slightly incoherent but I am just.so.excited. Maybe it’s best not to blog when in the midst of a fangirl panic.

Edit: Just scored 10th row (center) tickets to the show!!!!!! SQUEE!

Music is my boyfriend.

I’m going to make this very clear: I know my husband is the king of online mixtapes. I know this, but still figured I would try my hand at making mixes that I think you would all enjoy. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

Just think of it this way: now you can have his&hers mixtapes reminiscent of our wedding favors. Afterall, everything always needs a feminine touch, right? 😉

With my first mixtape, I decided to keep it simple & sweet. No real theme, just a collection of songs that have put a smile on my face lately. I hope they have the same effect on all of you. Let me know if they do.
