Why, exactly...?
Because we do not espouse the notion that having given birth means that we have aurally surrendered to Barney. Because we don't care what the Wheels on the Bus do. Because we can still rock.
And because, even in the midst of the lives, families and posts that we love...sometimes we still need to put on our headphones and jam out with our girlfriends. C'mon. Join the Party.

I have some very exciting news! First of all, my friend David has a band. Named Dr. Pants. But even more exciting than that – two, count ‘em, TWO songs by Dr. Pants were featured on the smash hit MTV show Jersey Shore last week.
And while I must admit I have never, ever (even once) seen an episode of Jersey Shore, I still found this news to be incredibly exciting. Like I said above. VERY VERY exciting.

I first heard Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings on a late night talk show. I’ve since forgotten which show but I haven’t forgotten this band. I love me some old school and I love it when a modern singer brings that soulful, old school vibe. I love a woman who can bring the noise, and Ms. Jones sure does. She’s got the voice, along with some of the other ladies of this torch song genre (such as Amy Winehouse, Duffy or Adele – whom I also adore), but Ms. Jones also brings the wisdom of a full grown woman.

I take out of the house; Nike’s laced up, hair pulled back, iPod affixed on my arm, my ear-buds in. Off I go, hitting the pavement, digging deep to go farther each time, and to reach my goal. I am a new runner, but an old lover of music. I know the power of the beat so I use it to my advantage.
Hear the World is teaming with international musicians to spread the word about hearing loss, an issue that affects 16 percent of the world’s population, including my 8-year-old daughter, Riley.

I just returned from a fabulous, week-long family vacation in Germany. I have a “thing” for Germany; if you search my personal blog for “foreign fetish” you can read all about it, but I digress. For me, music in Germany has always been very powerful. Let me explain. Read it all »
