Hand On My Heart


It's official... Hripsime and I are welcoming another son into our little family! We are so excited, and humbled, and well, excited. I told Noah that he will have a little brother soon, and his reply was, "How strange." I love Noah! And I can't wait to meet my second son.
I love this picture of Noah. He's so sincere.

Music, it makes the world go around- But only if you listen to it. And only if you like it. Otherwise, something else probably makes the world go ‘round for you.

So I’ve decided to post a list of music that I have in rotation- music I consider the best for me now. Like Bob Sagat, I’m listing the songs in a random order.

1. Fink “Pretty Little Thing” I love when songs become thought clearinghouses. I’m not saying that a song about stalking is a good thing (as spoken about in this song, but pining after a phone number and opportunity to hang out is. Jazz/Alt/Acoustic fused goodness.
2. Travis “Battleships” Travis gives new meaning to a Hasbro marketed, mass plastic produced, two player board game. (I wonder if they can do the same for Hungry Hungry Hippo?) Likening relationship woes to naval ships under fire is brilliant.
3. Satchel “Trouble Come Down” Everybody needs some kind of ‘90’s throwback, right? Plus this is a great rainy day song, and the crazy falsetto is weird enough that I’m down with it.
4. Broken Social Scene “Shampoo Suicide” Just a great song from a great movie (Half Nelson). I really dig it. A good driving song.
5. Royksopp “So Easy” A great work out/study song, provides just enough goodness to keep the cerebellum active.
6. RJD2 “Mooore” Lovin’ this song constantly. RJD2 can do near no wrong in my book.
7. Jose Gonzalez “Hand on Your Heart” Awesome… reminds me of Nick Drake, others… “Put your hand on your heart and tell me…” Brilliant.
8. Cary Judd “Coma” “Hit me on the head, put me in a coma, I could use the rest…” What a fantastic lyric.
