Two totally unrelated (and oh so thoughtful!) readers have bothered to contact me about the band Tennis and it must be fate.  I absolutely love this song.  Plus they’re a cool husband and wife team and have an awesome story.  What do you think?

I have a confession to make: I love happy country tunes.  I loathed them growing up, but somewhere along the line I fell for country and I fell hard.  The thing is, I know so little about it!  I have a playlist of 30 or so songs made by a friend (it has everything from Johnny Cash to Taylor Swift), but that’s it.  So I need your help—what country songs and/or artists do you recommend?  Where should I start?  I’d be forever grateful!

Love this new rendition of Fools Rush In by Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward of She & Him.  Levi’s Pioneer Sessions feature contemporary artists remaking their favorite classics—such a great idea.  I think Ricky Nelson would be proud!

Spotted this darling music video by Diane Birch on Christina’s fantastic blog and thought it would make you smile.  Happy lunch hour!

I’m currently mesmerized by this stop motion video for Oren Lavie’s song Her Morning Elegance.  So creative and sweet…have you seen it?

For your Sunday morning viewing pleasure, The Kooks strolling down the streets of Paris…  The end made me smile big time!

Hello loves.  We’re back from a magical, whirlwind trip to D.C. and are enjoying a lazy, sunshine-filled Sunday morning.  I’ve decided to begin a new tradition titled “Sunday Serenade” in which I’ll be posting a music video or live performance by a band I love each week.  I hope you enjoy today’s “You Really Got A Hold on Me” by the enchanting She & Him.  More updates to follow… xo

When I first saw this Bon Iver video on Rikshaw Design’s blog I instantly grew weak in the knees.  A cappella has always made me swoon.  Perfect for a slow, sunny Sunday, don’t you think?  What I would give to come home to an impromptu Bon Iver performance in my apartment building!  Hey, a girl can dream…

P.S. We have the most DARLING Plucky Pioneer lined up tomorrow. See you then! XO
