They are back!!!!!
Music Monday -- iPod Shuffle
Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Gold Lion"
Dixie Chicks "Top of the World"
Linkin Park "Bleed It Out"
Music Monday -- "Landslide"
Another cover themed edition of Music Monday. I have a little place in my heart for Fleetwood Mac. I think it has to do with hearing them as a child. Their songs are instantly recognizable to me. I hear them and can't help but sing along. And Stevie Nicks' voice is just too amazing. While going through our iTunes account in prep for my 101 Fave Songs posts, I found multiple covers this song. So here we go...
Fleetwood Mac: The Original (live version from 2006)
Tori Amos: How beautiful is her voice?
Smashing Pumpkins: A man singing, interesting swap.
Dixie Chicks: I think this country version is the closest to the original.
Glee: I do love me some Glee. Not always the best covers, but always different.
Bush: Just found this one on YouTube. I had to add it.
Music Monday -- 101 Faves Country Edition
As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy! I'm not a huge country fan, but there are a few singers/bands that I really enjoy.
Dixie Chicks "Easy Silence" -- I've always like the Dixie Chicks, but this song is just beautiful.
JoDee Messina "Bring on the Rain" -- Love the duet.
Lady Antebellum "I Run to You" -- Still a favorite band today. I found them through loving Josh Kelley (Charles Kelley's brother).
Music Monday -- "Rainbow Connection"
As I was going through all the songs on our server (thousands), I realized that I have quite a few versions of this song. Why is that? Oh yeah, It's just an awesome song. I dare you not to sing along...
Original Kermit the Frog:
The Dixie Chicks:
Sarah McLachlan: My favorite non-Kermit version
Less Than Jake: A ska version for you...
Jason Mraz: I don't have this one, but I do love him...

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years. Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100. Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.
Year: 1999
Book: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
Music Selections: Overall this year was really electic when it came to music. I went to see Korn and Rob Zombie in concert, but I also listened to stuff like Sarah McLachlan. I was all over the place musically!
- Dixie Chicks "Ready to Run" -- Most country I don't like, but for some reason I really got into the Dixie Chicks. I still listen to them every once in a while.
- Lenny Kravitz "American Woman" -- I can't help but see Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell writhing around on a car for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Hee hee!
- Sarah McLachlan "I Will Remember You" -- Such a great song. I can't help but remember listening to this all the time.
- Santana and Rob Thomas "Smooth" -- Big hit of the summer. The perfect summer song to sing along to.
- The Offspring "The Kids aren't Alright" -- Love The Offspring. Smash was one permanent rotation in my car throughout most of the year. And then Americana was released and I had a whole new batch of songs. Including this amazing anthem. There's one particular reference in here that reminds me of one of my ex-boyfriends.
