Music Monday: Vanity Theft

Happy Monday, Friends!

I do apologize for the little hiatus I took. I've been quite the busy bee with my new job! [Which, I'm loving, by the way!] But not a Monday or Friday has gone by where I haven't thought of all of you!

So, today I've got something extra special for your ears to sample!

It's time to check out Vanity Theft! If you haven't heard of 'em, well, you are in for a treat!
These ladies started rocking in Ohio back in 2005 and were on The Lady Killer Tour this summer with Hunter Valentine and Sick of Sarah!

Let's check out their sound, eh?

Here's "Anatomy!"


Next is a live performance of "Rattle, Rattle!"


And lastly we have, "Limb From Limb!"


For more information on these talented rockers, check out their website: www.vanitytheft.com!
You can also follow them on Twitter and like them on Facebook!

That's it for today!
Come back on Friday for a feel good tune!
See you then!
XOXO

Feel Good Friday Turns One Year Old!

Happy Feel Good Friday, Friends!

I can't believe it, but, today marks my one year blog-iversary!
Oh, how the time flies, doesn't it?!

On this very day last year I had a thought bouncing around the walls of my brain before bed, that I should post a feel good tune every Friday in hopes that someone who is feeling down and out might find this little corner of the interwebs I've created and feel safe.

This idea stemmed from the devastating suicides of bullied LGBTQ youth (or kids who were thought to be LGBTQ youth) last fall. It broke my heart to see/hear/read about those tragic stories on the news, so I decided I wanted to do something, no matter how small it may be.

I was inspired to create this corner by the following quote,
"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." [William James]

So, in the spirit of Feel Good Friday turning one year old, I thought I'd honor it by reflecting on where it all began...

Here's the first tune I ever used for a Feel Good Friday.
It's "Wait Til You See My Smile," by the ever lovely and talented Alicia Keys!
[Enjoy this music video, it's not the "official" one, but this was a finalist for Alicia Keys' music video competition for the song.] [And it's my fave that I've seen.]



I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend!
Take care and I'll see you next Friday!

XOXO

P.S. The photo today is supposed to be a symbol of my love and admiration for all of you. Think of it as me hugging you with thanks!
