Sounds Of Saturday – Erasure/A Little Respect

I hear Erasure and it never fails that my brain believe that I’m still in high school. I can vividly see my friends dancing to “A Little Respect”. Erasure were just fun. They opened for Duran Duran and Andy Bell was wearing a Ringmaster’s uniform. Andy and Vince were just unadulterated pop fun and definitely perfect for a Saturday in June.

Enjoy and I’ll see you Monday!

What is your favorite Erasure song? Are you going to see Andy Bell on the Regeneration Tour this summer?

Sounds Of Saturday – R.E.M./Driver 8

High school and college was fraught with R.E.M. music everywhere. I never have seen them live but wished I had in their hey-day.

I found this rare acoustic performance of one my favorite R.E.M. songs (whose lyrics I can understand), “Driver 8”. Enjoy and I’ll see you Monday.

Are you a fan of R.E.M.? What is your favorite song by them?

The Days Are Long But The Years Are Short – AKA OMG Kindergarten Is Already OVER?!

31 Days Project, NY-LA, Balance, Kindergarten Sept 2012 – 1st Day of Kindergarten (really Aug)

Help!  I’m freaking out because my only (human) child has finished his Kindergarten year!   The quote “the days are long but the years are short”  definitely sums up how overwhelming it is to watch just how fast milestones fly by as a parent.  I feel like I’m still adjusting to parenthood and I’m incredulous that Wild Boy recently turned 6.
