Awesome!
I was talking to Andy last night about how it’s just crazy that we’re all different when it comes to song choice, but you have to admit… Cyndi Lauper… is awesome! 🙂
Thanks for playing along, love! 🙂
Oh I love to play! yes, everyone is inspired by something different!! I am totally going to add Cyndi to my ipod!!
Dang…. DID YOU SAY BLUE?????? You know that connects us…. there’s no way around it! I actually did a post on it LOL
It “sounds” like we might be the same generation, eh? I’ve been on a Dire Straits kick – uh, 15 minutes of Telegraph Road to finish my cardio workout – add resistance, modify cadence, dig deep and HIT the last 3 minutes 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I’m sure you were surprised to see that! I could listen to that album over and over and over again!! I bet Dire Straits is good. I’m not a huge fan, but it’s the same with Talking Heads. My husband put it on a running mix for me and I was like oh ok this is good to run to!!
Are you on Twitter?
Ah – Talking Heads would be good! Hmmmm I’m a music fan so I’ll start thinking about this more. I’m just figuring out the iTunes stuff w/o my son’s help LOL
Yep – in the twitterverse I’m @krazy_kris thanks again!
I love it! Those are two of my absolute favorite Belle and Sebastian songs! And Fade into You by Mazzy Star is another one of my all-time favorite songs as well. We have quite a bit of music in common. 🙂
