Music Monday -- iPod Shuffle December
Since I've finished my 101 Faves series for Music Monday, I thought I would do something complete different. I turned on my iPod, hit shuffle, and recorded my first 5 songs.
"Feel Again" by OneRepublic (Native)
"Eyes Wide Open" by Gotye (Making MIrrors)
"Dakota" by O.A.R. (Stories of a Stranger)
"Mrs. O" by The Dresden Dolls (Yes, Virginia)
"The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" by Dashboard Confessional (MTV Unplugged)
Today's Music Monday will be the last until after the New Year. Next week, I am starting my traditional holiday break to spend time with family and friends and recharge for 2014. But never fear, I'll be on the lookout for some great new music during that time period.
Music Monday -- Favorite Covers I
While sifting through all our music, I came across a ton of songs (over 1000) that I wanted to add to my 101 Favorite Songs list. I had to narrow it down. As part of my narrowing, I decide to delete all covers from the list. But those are some great songs, ones I really love. So, I decided to give them their own series on Music Monday. If you like covers, stay tuned for some good ones. (Note: the original performers may not be the absolute original, but who made it famous)

Music Monday -- New Music
As part of my Day Zero Project, I am finding some new music. Specifally I want to find a great new-to-me band for each letter of the alphabet. Today, I have few songs to share.
Music Selections: This week's new-to-me selections all come from listening to Alt Nation on satellite radio. J has it in his car, so we always get to listen to great music. Unfortunately I have to make due with the local channels. It's funny that all of these songs are ones I've been listening to for months on Alt Nation and they are finally getting some air play on the Omaha channels. At any rate they are completely stuck in my head...
