Jar of Hearts

nicóle — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:50:32 +0000

A few weeks ago I was watching So You Think You Can Dance when this song came on. I immediately grabbed my iPhone and went in search of this song “Jar of Hearts”. It was love at first lyric for me. I intended to write a post about it but forgot until last night while watching [...]

Mental-Music

nicóle — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:40:05 +0000

You know how when a song gets stuck in your head it tends to stay there for a while. Today-all day, I’ve had two songs stuck in my head. A mash-up of sorts and no two songs could be completely different.

Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” & The Theme Song to the Disney Cartoon Phineas and Ferb

Here’s a peek [...]

Sex and the City 2 Soundtrack Review & Giveaway

nicóle — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:52:51 +0000

I was a lucky recipient of an advanced copy of the Sex and the City 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.I was excited to get a listen to the music for a movie I was anxiously anticipating.

When I first heard the soundtrack I was a tad scared. I couldn’t completely understand some of the song choices, however [...]

One EskimO: “All Balloons” Album Review

nicóle — Sat, 29 May 2010 04:01:32 +0000

First off, let me say I don’t get why One EskimO spells their name with a capital “O” at the end. I think that’s kinda lame. But that is their artistic prerogative and it in now way affected my review of this album-or at least I tried not to let it affect my review. I may [...]

“Eclipse” Sountrack Song List

nicóle — Thu, 13 May 2010 13:05:38 +0000

I really wanted to write about this yesterday, but I’m still dealing with this Vertigo thing and being online, reading, or doing pretty much anything other than sitting on my couch doesn’t bode well for me at the moment.

However, my need to check out The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Soundtrackwhich was released yesterday is a bit stronger [...]

Blue October “Should Be Loved” Video

nicóle — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:29:51 +0000

I love Blue October — if you’ve been around for a while, this comes as no surprise. They’ve just released a new video for “Should Be Loved”.

Enjoy!

I kept looking for a spot from their Baltimore show (the one I was at)…I guess it didn’t make the cut, but it was cool to be there none-the-less.

All I [...]

Lost Things

nicóle — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:51:10 +0000

I love pretty things.

I love old things.

I love going to flea markets and garage sales treasure hunting for pretty things that are old. I love wondering about where these pieces have been. Who loved them. Who lost them.

I love this short film too. Happened upon it serendipitously. (You know my history with that word.)

I also love [...]

Mommy The Thinker

nicóle — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:45:11 +0000

This afternoon for the first time in weeks, I sat down at my kitchen counter, turned my play-list up and began writing. Things had been going fairly well, when Soul Asylum’s “Runaway Train” came on. Now, I’ve heard this song many, many times before, but today it was different-this song sparked a ton of ideas in [...]

What I Do When Bored

nicóle — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:19:17 +0000

I lip sync. What? You don’t? Get out! You really should.

Here I am sitting in front of Target waiting for a van full of clowns people to unload so that I could get out. Blue October was already playing and my iPhone is simply perfect for these sort of moments.…I’m pretty sure that the people in [...]

Nine Years of Me & He

My ninth anniversary was last week and I wanted to tell the hubs Happy Anniversary in my own special way. Here’s what [...]

Best of Me, 2009

nicóle — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 05:00:44 +0000

This year has certainly been a year of change. So much has happened. A year ago I was calling Evan “Copper” on this blog, he was just about six month’s old, Michael was still being called “Mo, and was soaring into the last few months of his fourth year.

I’ve changed physically and rather unexpectedly, I’ve realized [...]

Dancing with My Boys

nicóle — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:46:05 +0000

Dancing With the Stars became a weekly show that my boys and I looked forward to each week. My boys loved to dance around and mimic the performances. Here’s what things typically look like at [...]

Blue October Jump Rope Video: I Love it!

nicóle — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:34:25 +0000

Blue October has a new video out folks! I know I can hardly contain my excitement! This song is Jump Rope off of their Approaching Normal album.

I can’t say it enough how much I love this band. My 18 month old, Evan adores this song. He even tries to say “up, down, up, down…” It’s [...]

Pesky Void-Ya know?

nicóle — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:25:47 +0000

This last week I was playing catch up with reviews and my life in general. The last month and a half was so crazy. I know I haven’t written much on the personal side and I wholeheartedly thank those of you who stuck around. Much has been going on-but nothing that is really all that interesting. [...]

Weight of the World: Justin Furstenfeld Hospitalized

nicóle — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:45:11 +0000

I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with something eloquent to say. Words you know, are supposed to be my thing. Instead I’m left tearing up into my sangria. I’m sad. My heart is heavy because someone who feels like a friend is hurting. He’s not a friend, but I feel like I [...]

Pick Up the Phone Tour Press Conference-Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October Absent

nicóle — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:35:36 +0000

Justin Furstenfeld

A few weeks ago I wrote to tell you about Blue October and the Pick Up the Phone Tour which is advocating suicide prevention and other mental health programs. This morning’s press conference for Pick Up the Phone Suicide Prevention was held in D.C., sans Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. According to their twitter [...]
