Sounds Of Saturday – Duran Duran/Rio

Roger Taylor of Duran Duran definitely has a cherry ice-cream smile in this shot, don’t you agree? My “second banana” of the group just turned 53 yesterday and celebrated by DJ’ing a gig in Chicago.

In honor of RT’s birthday, today’s Sounds Of Saturday is a live clip of “Rio” recorded during the Red Carpet Massacre tour. The clip opens with Roger and happens to show him quite a few times throughout the performance which is nice since even with the closest of concert seats, this cute guy is always back behind the drums.

Sounds of Saturday – The Avett Brothers (I And Love And You)

While I often feature 80’s music on my Sounds of Saturday, The Avett Brothers are (somewhat) contemporary. I discovered this amazing group via my Tweep, Gerard P., who writes an amazing Tumblr site called The Music of Running. Gerard and I see eye to […]

Sounds of Saturday – Pet Shop Boys

PSB were a fixture in the 80’s and I’ve sadly never gotten a chance to see them.
This is a live version of “Always On My Mind” because the official version was way too creepy.

This Sounds of Saturday is dedicated to Jay – Happy Birthday tomorrow, my love.

Enjoy and I’ll see […]

Sounds of Saturday – Hall & Oates

Because I wanted a little happy this week and because it is featured in two movies I love (The Wedding Singer and 500 Days of Summer), this week’s Sounds of Saturday is Hall & Oates “You Make My Dreams Come True”.

A great happy song and this version from 500 Days […]

Food Presents – Foodie Pen Pal Reveal +

It is the last day of February and it’s finally Foodie Penpal Reveal Day!

Foodie Penpals was developed in September 2011 by Lindsay who blogs at The Lean Green Bean. Lindsay, a dietetic intern (more Dietitian power!), who clearly understands the universal power of food orchestrates match-ups between US, Canadian and UK residents to exchange “fun, foodie things, local food items or homemade treats” with a $15 limit total.

My foodie penpal, Jenni, from Manhattan, KS received a box full of my favorite Trader Joe’s goodies since I knew there were no TJ stores close-by.

I received the most lovely package from Becca V of IL.

Did you notice a wrapped gift in there? […]
