Because It's Tuesday - Week of July 17

Apparently, this was originally released as a secret track on certain versions of "Whatever and ever amen" but I first heard it on a compilation called "Lounge-A-Pa-Looza" which was released in 1997.  In addition to this song, it included such gems as Steve and Eydie's take on "Black Hole Sun" and Fastball channeling their inner Burt Bacharach.

I've always been a fan of Ben Folds (Five or otherwise) and his amazing piano playing.  This version of the Flaming Lip's "She Don't Use Jelly" is just a super fun slice of loungy pie.  I couldn't find a video of the this performance but the audio from this live performance of it is fantastic.  Hope you think so too kiddies xo

Not Guilty, Just Pleasure - Do You Realize

It's Friday.

This song could be shared on a future Way Back Wednesday but I am posting it today.

Just because.

Just because it speaks to me.

Just because hearing it made me smile, bigly.

Just because I think it's true and happiness can make you cry.


Just because I think it's beautiful and I recently rediscovered it after not having heard it for a long time.

I've witnessed people argue about whether or not this song is positive or negative.  I personally feel uplifted by it.  The best thing about art is that it provokes us.  Take a peak at the Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize" and decide for yourself.

Have a great weekend kiddies xo
