I got mah bitches wit me!

There are certain things in life that I never tire of....aside from scarves, iced Starbucks, naps, and other events that take place in bed (whhhat?!), I can never....ever......everrrr tire of the following...

Enter : Mah Bitches, Music Edition

1. Florence + The Machine - I don't know if it's the upcoming fall season or just her eerie but wonderful voice, but I pulled out her album again (I say that like I didn't just scroll on my iPod to find her name......) recently and have been pretty much obsessed all over again. Her new song is quite wonderful, too, so if you haven't checked it out (or pirated it online, whatever), please listen to it, because I can't even put into words how much the sound and everything about this song is on another level! (Rachel Zoe reference, anyone?) P.S. if you watch the video in the link, I need that felt hat she is wearing, feather and all!

2. Sara Bareilles - If SSBoyfriend is reading this, he can attest to the fact that I can belt (not well, mind you) just about every Sara song without fail (unless failing means not singing well....) considering I did so on our road trip to the beach this past summer! She has great lyrics, a simple and enjoyable sound, and she mixes spunky with melodic tones quite well. My current favorite by her? "Breathe Again" - Gawwwd, gives me chills.

3. Mandy Moore (post "Candy" days...) - Speaking of chills, one of my go-to car songs has to be MM's "Gardenia". Like, you gals knowww what's I'm talkin' about, no? The nights where you go for a drive and you just feel like having the windows down and the music up and belting it out like there aren't other drivers out in the dark night? Yeah, tell me you've been there, because otherwise I just look like a loser. Her "folk" sounding tunes are perfect for just about any mood I find myself in, but "Gardenia" is my top favorite of hers. Don't like Mandy Moore still because of her pop days? "Folk" you ;) HAH, see what I did there?!

4. Adele - Last, but by no means least, we have the extraordinary, the wonderful, the show-stopping Adele. She can do no wrong in my book. Her song "Hometown Glory" is not only one of my favorites, but it takes me right back to walking to class in the fall weather, she was the perfect accompaniment to the scenery. Her new single, "Someone like You" is just ridiculous. Click here for a recorded version she did in her own home and it just makes the song sound that much better in its raw form.

As you can tell, I have a fair share of bitches in the music industry (that totes just made me sound like I know them.....) and these hunnies keep me sane in between all the other music I listen to. Regardless of what is going on in life, good or bad or sad, I can go to one of the four aforementioned ladies and they bring life right back around. If you haven't checked out the artists (or songs) that I just talked about, please do, you'll enjoy them, SS guaranteed!

If you're interested in other songsters the SS is into, I wrote a music post wayyyy back, so you can read that HERE.

Hope you're all enjoying this week and gearing up for the holiday weekend! I actually just remembered it was a holiday weekend a solid 5 seconds before I wrote this ;) Solid job, SS.

Until next time, happy first day of September, enjoy ringing in the first fall month!

P.S. As a side note, I started a blog in 2009 that has nothing to do with beauty, my daily events, or anything similar to how this blog is written. I dusted off its webs by writing something new. Feel free to read it here. My poetry site, which is a twin to the prose page, can be found here. Lest we forget I'm an English major first, beauty blogger second ;) It should be noted it's not meant to be somber, just....story-like. Yeah, let's go with that. It was actually first used solely for myself to file writings, more or less. Enjoy, or not, whichever you prefer!
