Sunday Funday = Bob Dylan

I love Bob Dylan. Plain and simple. I could sit all day, any day, listening to Bob Dylan. My favorite Bob Dylan song, hands down, is 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright'. It has so many different meanings for me, and has helped me through so much, especially in the past two years with a certain turn of events. ;)

I apologize for the shitty video, but it was really hard to find out there! Anyway, the lyrics are perfect, his voice is perfect, and it's just a great song. Enjoy

Sunday Funday = Vince Vaccaro

I am about to leave Korea in about 2 days, and it has been a whirlwind. It feels weird to be moving on and packing again. But I've been in this place many, many times before, in many different states and countries, with many different feelings about leaving a place.

But one thing that always sets me right when I'm packing is some good tunes. This one comes from a Canadian named Vince Vaccaro, who brings me back full circle to where I vision my life in the near future. If I could take all the places that I have lived and traveled in the world, and pack them into one place where I could live and wallow in forever, I would. This music in a strange way kind of does that for me. It reminds me of the laid back vibe in Hawaii, the nature vibe in Colorado and Tennessee, the hippie vibe of Humboldt, the friendships of Spain and Boston, the craziness of Korea.

It reminds me of that simple life that is so good.

Sunday Funday = A Little Kanye

Because I like all types of music, I'm gonna give it up for Kanye West for this Sunday's Funday. Although he is always causing some type of controversy, especially when he was all up on my future husband Matt Lauer on the Today Show. Still, he's doing something right....right?

Sunday Funday = Take Away Shows

This week flew by, even though I only had to work two days. It was wonderful and relaxing the rest of the week, although I'm already dreading the two work filled weeks ahead. But hey, that's life right?

I'm going to continue my new tradition of posting new and old music that I love, and have the utmost desire to share with you.  I think I will also try to do something with photos soon, maybe called a 'photo walk' where I take photographs along one of my daily (or unexpected) routines here in Korea.

If you haven't heard of the website LA BLOGOTHEQUE, you are being greatly deprived of amazing-ness. It's a website that gets artists from all over the world, stripped down, performing their songs in off the beat kind of ways, appropriately entitled "Take Away Shows".  Great artists perform in all the best cities in the world, in phone booths, elevators, parks, apartments, restaurants, you name it. It is very similar to another website I love called Black Cab Sessions, where the artists perform songs with whatever they can fit into the back of a cab. Very cool stuff here people.

Anyway, long post short, one of my favorite videos thus far from LA BLOGOTHEQUE (however there are SO many to pick from), is Iron and Wine's 'Tree By The River'. In this particular video session, Iron and Wine's, Sam Beam is in France drinking wine, and delivering a wonderful acoustic performance of 'Tree By The River'.

Sunday Funday = Electronic Faves

I would like to start making Sunday Funday music sharing a regular thing. So I'm here to post a new video that I came upon recently. I like all types of music, and really like things "off the path" so to speak. I came across a cover of Feist's 'Limit To Your Love', and was literally blown away by it. After doing so much research on the lad from London who does the cover, there seems to be a lot of controversy to his music. But all I can say is I dig it, I love it, I think it's brilliant. This cover makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck, the video ain't bad either.

Sunday Funday = Soul Sessions

There's nothin' I like better than some Bill Withers on a Sunday afternoon, while it's snowing, and I'm drinking a cappuccino. Thank you Mr. Withers, for being born, and creating such amazing music.
