Sarah DeGroat - Old Moscow
Jay mixed this project, and it is so good. So so good.
Sarah is a student at A&M. She did this project with Jay's good friends Matthew and Lizi Bailey, and when they sent it over to mix, he kind of freaked out.
You can listen to all 5 songs on her website.
Old Moscow:
Heartbeat:
[She reminds me quite a bit of Rosie Thomas]

January is for Decluttering...again
We got a dog. A really big dog.
Do you know how large of a crate you have to get for a great dane? And do you know how hard it is to find a place in your house to put that kind of crate?
I say that, because I once again feel like we have too much stuff. So I have 3 declutter goals for January:

I say that, because I once again feel like we have too much stuff. So I have 3 declutter goals for January:
- Sell unwanted Ikea cabinets (done! $80 on Craigslist...seriously people - jump on the Craigslist train!)
- Sell a couch (can't decide which one...but we have at least 1 too many...)
- Empty 12 things out of my office room (which is where the crate now lives) until it is "acceptable"
#3 is the hardest. That room is where I stash all the stuff I don't want to get rid of but don't really have a use for. So I told myself yesterday if I can't come up with an immediate purpose/place for it (ex: hang on wall, put in jar with other pens...), it has to go. I told myself that our house is not a museum and has to have space for the things we have yet to do.

Balmorhea
Jay just finished up audio for another SerialBox session. If you like instrumental music (Album Leaf, Explosions in the Sky...), you'll like Balmorhea.
I love bands that jump around and play a bunch of instruments - makes them very interesting to watch:

The Sing Off
There are very few TV shows that Jay and I actually agree on and watch together. This is not one of them.
I don't watch "American Idol" or "X Factor" or "The Voice," but I do like "The Sing Off." I feel like part of it might be that I like who judges, particularly Ben Folds. But it has some really talented performers, too. Jay would let me show him my 1 or 2 favorite performances from each episode, and it was usually this group - they were my fave and ended up winning. This totally appeals to my pop-loving self (I listen to top 40 on the way to work every morning...).
This first song is my least favorite song off Florence & The Machine's last album, but this version is amazing:
And this one is just impressively clever how they mix the 2 songs:
They also did a Katy Perry song, and we all know how much we love Katy Perry at this house...but it wasn't one of their best.
And apparently the beatboxer is multi-talented (and studied music at Yale):
I mean - don't you kind of feel like you should learn how to beatbox now?! I told Jay he would probably be good at it being a drummer and all, but he declined.
