Music Monday: Jason Mraz, 'It's A Lovely Day'

Simply the perfect song if you're having a hard time dragging yourself out of bed on a Monday morning, or if you're having a hard hump day. (Includes adorable bonus footage when Jason Mraz has a chat with the busker about where they're from. I love it when people from divergent worlds come together.)

Music Monday: Mumford and Sons 'The Cave'

One of the things I love about coming home to Colorado is being able to listen to KBCO, my favorite radio station in the whole wide world. The variety and quality of music that they play on this station is just bar-none, and they play the perfect mix of songs you love and artists you've never heard of.

KBCO introduced me to Mumford and Sons, a fantastically unique folk rock band out of England which is getting a lot of radio rotation lately. (Side Note: Seriously, England--you never stop producing fantastic musicians. How do you do it?). Their music is full of intricacy a complexity and yet so approachable and fun to listen to. I hope you'll fall in love with these boys, too!

Music Monday: Marie-Pierre Arthur's 'Porquoi'

Oh, I am so very in love with this song and its adorable video. Marie-Pierre Arthur is a Quebecois singer, songwriter and bassist. You can read more about her (en français) and listen to a couple of her other wonderful songs (also en français ;) here!

music monday: yael naim's 'paris'

I have been completely and totally smitten with this song for probably a year or so. And even though my downloaded version of this song is missing its first verse, I find myself listening to it over and over again. Yael Naim (of New Soul fame) sings this song in Hebrew and French, which I completely love. It's a beautifully melodic and gorgeous song. Enjoy!

Music, Innovation & Eye Candy

A completely amazing display of workmanship, patience, precision, ingenuity and innovation. Color me mesmerized & consider me entranced.

P.S. There are few materials I love as much as wood & would love to see a phone like this come to North America.
