The Christmas Song – Sabrina Claudio
It is the day after Halloween, and I must admit I am the person who immediately shifts into Christmas mode. What can I say? I absolutely LOVE the holidays. So, I’m going to kick off this season tunes with a favorite of mine. The Christmas Song by Sabrina Claudio ties my childhood memories with the […]
Perpetual Optimist- Luke Lalonde
Some days I feel a little bit like Luke while he’s singing Perpetual Optimist, but most of the time I lean towards the other person he’s singing about, with the mentality of always having room for one more bite, and believing that you get no reward if you take no risk. This song has been […]
Godspeed – Frank Ocean
Frank Ocean’s lyrics of letting love go has so much of a different meaning to me now as a mama then when I first heard it in 2016 going through relationship heartbreak. To all my changemakers watching your little ones grow, this one is for you.
In and Out of Love – The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer
A super cool Canadian Duo with a unique twist on the blues, In and Out of Love has been one of my favorite finds from the New Retro Station on Spotify.
Ear Candy of the Week – Linda Linda’s- NPR Tiny Desk Concert
My favorite punk-rock band of the moment happens to have a drummer who is 11 years old. These four young women hold their own as they deliver songs like Racist Sexist Boy, Cuántas Veces, and Talking To Myself. Ain’t no power like the power of the youth because the power of the youth don’t stop!
Drew Green – Good Ol’ Man
Being a father of two, this song hits home. Drew Green puts what we’re all feeling into words of his song, Good Ol’ Man. We’re all just trying to be the best version of ourselves, and more often than not, doing our best is the best we can do.
Dog Inside a Car – Fell Runner
Another one for the summer playlists! Dog Inside a Car is simple, catchy, and provides a dynamic listening experience. I know we go fast and we go far, but I’ll never know how the engine works

As the philosopher, Aristotle said, “The whole is greater than the sum of its […]
Hold It In- Jukebox The Ghost
There’s definitely something about a pop song like Hold It In that makes the warm weather we’ve had lately feel appropriate. A band that describes themselves as “A mishmash of modern pop, retro vocals and classic rock indulgence” Jukebox The Ghost has become one of my favorites over the last few months and I am […]

“Everyone jump upon the Peace Train” and let’s make this world a better place. This Song Around The World version features more than 25 musicians from 12 countries and unites Yusuf / Cat Stevens, singing and playing a beautiful white piano in a tranquil open-air setting in Istanbul, Turkey, with musicians such as five-time Grammy […]
Golden Years- David Bowie
A little bit of a two for one: Revisiting one of my favorites for this week’s Ear Candy, Golden Years by David Bowie. There isn’t much to say about the song or the artist that hasn’t been said but it’s been on my mind recently because of its use in the movie A Knight’s Tale. […]
