Music Monday: Happy New Year! Here's a song.

What was my first exciting purchase of 2013? Well, actually, a polka dot, chambray dress. (Gotta stay true to my roots.)

But my second exciting purchase of 2013 was a gorgeous new Ibanez guitar. Wanna see? You can check it out in this video of my first original song this year (and my submission for KC Turner's Songwriting Club).

Collaborative Music Monday: Breaking Hearts (James Vincent McMorrow cover)

Thanks to my pal, Christi, for collaborating with me on this song. Watch out for some more songs from us in the future (like this one).

Enjoy!

Music Monday: The Luckiest (Ben Folds cover)

Have you heard? Ben Folds Five is back in the studio. This is exciting stuff, y'all, so I decided to pay tribute. Now, I'm sure you'll point out that this is indeed a Ben Folds song and not a Ben Folds Five song; well, let me just say congratulations for reading the title of my video. Yes, I know it's Ben Folds. But it's the song I chose to cover today, friends, even if it is a slightly odd tribute.

And also, this is dedicated to that guy I live with. We don't get too sappy around these parts.

Keep on rockin' those suburbs (also Ben Folds)!

Music Monday: Take Me Out of the City (Dawes cover)

For this inaugural Music Monday, I chose a simple folk number by a band called Dawes. They have lots of great tunes, so check 'em out!
