Five For Friday: Non-Ethnocentricity

This week's playlist is filled with amazing music from all sorts of places that aren't America! I'm drawn to music from other cultures for many reasons; one being that I don't understand the language so the vocals become another instrument helping to create the emotion of the song. Also, I love seeing what instruments they incorporate that we tend to ignore (mostly). Very rarely do you come across an American band that writes music to be played on music boxes while using both an accordion and synths in the same song. Or maybe you'd like a little musical saw with your wind-up toys and plastic whistles? Well, today is your lucky day! Also, today my wife and I have been married for 11 years! That really has nothing to do with this playlist, but it's pretty amazing nonetheless and I'm thankful every day for an amazing wife who don't abhor my bizarre musical tastes. I love you, Jen! :)

Have a great weekend and go broaden your horizons!

Five For Friday: Polaroid

This week's playlist is dedicated to the memory of Polaroid film. I watched the documentary "Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid Film", promptly went out and bought some Fuji FP-100C for my Mamiya and plan on shooting some (if not all) of it this weekend. Also, there are a ton of songs about Polaroid so it was kind of hard to narrow it down to 5 songs.

Have a fantastic weekend and take some pictures!

Five For Friday: Niece

I'm super excited that my niece is visiting us this weekend, so in honor of her visit, this week's playlist is all about nieces! If you have a niece, give them a hug.

Have a great weekend!

Five For Friday: Elephant

I hope you have a huge weekend! Huge like an elephant! (also, who knew there were so many songs about elephants? I didn't.)

Five For Friday: Beach Time!

Finally!!!! It's warming up enough to go to the beach and get out in the water! That's where you'll find me as often as I can get out there... I hope you make plans to get out and enjoy the outdoors this weekend, be it the beach, mountains or your local park.

Have a great weekend!

Five For Friday (x2): BIG

It's another week of cranking out another big order at work so this week's playlist features twice as many songs about big things! I hope you have big plans for this fantastic weekend. Have a good one!

Five For Friday: Movie Songs

This week's playlist consists of songs from movies that I own... Not necessarily my favorite movies, but I do like them. If there are any good movies in the theaters, perhaps you should go see one this weekend! Have an amazing weekend whatever you do!
