Playlists

I'm broke. Money is tight. Blah Blah Blah. My recent and inexpensive way to do gift giving lately is to make mixes for people. I know people have been doing this forever but I have not so for me this is new and SO FUN. Today I feel compelled to share LIANA'S HAPPY LIFE IS GREAT MIX.

I know I should know by now how to share songs on the blog.. but I don't. so I will link videos if they exist -- if there are no official videos I will like youtube clips of the song with videos. If that is annoying or lame I apologize. Its the best I can do. Teach me.

Loves Me Like a Rock by The O'Jays [words and music by, you know paul simon.. you had to know i'd get him on here somehow] IF YOU ONLY WATCH ONE VIDEO PLEASE WATCH THIS ONE It is a Photo montage of Barack Obama & family set to the song, "Loves Me Like a Rock", from The Fighting Temptations soundtrack performed by the O'Jays. LOVES ME LIKE Barack?! Anyone? eh? eh? Seriously, I'm famous for finding amazing homemade videos to really wonderful songs let's not forget the My President is Black incident a la ST Lab @ Wesleyan University. We should have been kicked out for the outbursts.


Turns out some of these videos are amazing and perhaps as a consequence of not growing up with a tv i'd never seen a lot of them before. enjoy. send me playlists. even if its just new artists to check out.. i'll listen to pretty much anything.

Coming soon: My new and much improved ATL list.
