Spooky Sounds

Via: weheartit.com

With Halloween this weekend, I’m sure there are many people putting together the final touches for their parties. And it’s not a spooky party without equally spooky tunes! I know putting together the perfect party playlist can be difficult, especially when you are limited with a theme, but luckily, I have a couple new & fun tracks to share that will work spook-tacularly (see what I did there?).

Lucy Schwartz – Graveyard (mp3 widget code)

Lucy’s new album, Life in Letters, is one of iTunes top 200 pop albums so you should get to know her sooner than later! Check out her hot video for Graveyard here and if you like what you hear, download her album.

The Chapin Sisters – Palm Tree (mp3)

The sister duo is taking America by storm, promoting their new album, Two. They are both headlining their own tour, as well as opening for the always adorable She & Him. Check them out on their official site!

Happy Hump Day: Will Arnett

Who here misses the funniest show ever aired on television, Arrested Development? I know I do! And that is mainly due to some amazing writers and equally fabulous characters played by some talented actors. Cue Mr. Will Arnett. Who can forget his ridiculously awesome magic routine to the sweet tunes of Europe, c’mon, don’t deny it – you remember! Aside from the lovable Gob of TV past, Arnett is now starring in the new Fox series, Running Wilde, alongside Kerri Russell. For all those Wilde fans, make sure to spread the word, rumor has it that it may get canned! Having another axe sling down on Arnett and make him disappear from our televisions again would really be a bummer. But, let’s practice the power of positive thinking and send Will some good vibes as we oogle some of his best photos. Deal? Deal!

Bush – Tampa, FL @ The Ritz Ybor

Any of you that follow me on this blog surely know by now that Bush has been and continues to be one of my favorite bands. At times I am mocked for loving bands from my youth, but I can’t help it. I’m loyal. Once I loved you, I will always love you. Both a character flaw and strength, if you ask me.

As a "baby" Bush fan back in '97!

I’ve been lucky enough (along with all the other members of the Bush Army) to foster an online relationship with the guys in the band over the last year, which has made my love for the band grow more. They are so down-to-Earth and very appreciative of their fans. I had a wonderful time a couple of weeks ago at Epicenter enjoying their first gig together as a unit in 8 years from atop the stage, which was a completely surreal experience, but I think this past week’s show at Tampa managed to supersede all that.

Lovable Friday: Halloween 2010 Edition

Pumpkin Faces
1. Pumpkin Faces

Nothing says Halloween like arts and crafts. And when I say arts and crafts, I mean the queen of them herself, Martha Stewart. Sure she’s creepy, a low-talker, and yes, she may even look like she’s ready to snap on a sweet gingerbread man at any moment. But she certainly knows how to host a party. These pumpkin faces are just adorable, and are easy to do for any Halloween occasion. All you need is a jar, candy to fill the jar, a pumpkin and soft candy to mold however you please for the silly/scary faces.
