Repeat Songs of the Week


Frank Hamilton/ All or Nothing (I Want You)

I know very little about this guy, but am super into his "best of #OneSongAWeek" tracks on Spotify.  It seems he actually wrote & recorded a song a week for all of 2012, which is super impressive.  What's more impressive is a lot of them a are really good!



Theo Katzman/ I Feel Love

Seriously, please go listen to his album 'Romance Without Finance'.  It's incredible.


Hudson Taylor/ Battles

Apparently, I'm having a moment for cute boys with guitars, because I'm noticing a pattern in this batch of picks.  This sounds to me a bit like a Mumford & Sons + Ben Howard mash-up and I can't think of anything more exciting than that!



Andrew Watt/ Me And the Road

You can't help but head bob.  Or, maybe that's just me.



Frank Hamilton/ Another Love Song

I wasn't lying when I said I was really digging his Spotify listings!


If you're ever interested in what I'm jamming to at any given moment (or was jamming to at any point since I started using Spotify), you can always subscribe to my 'Currently Obsessed' playlist.  I don't ever clean things out, but I do pretty consistently add new stuff.  It's equal parts, "Oh, sure, that girl knows her stuff," and "Really Jen?  That's really what you're listening to?"

Repeat Songs of the Week

New Year, new music, right? Theo Katzman / Hard Work I've written about how charmed I was by Theo Katzman when I first saw him .  His new album, Heartbreak Hits, is outstanding from beginning to end - a full profile of what a broken heart feels like.  'Hard Work' is a stand-out for its spot on sentiment (I put in the work, why can't I reap the benefits?) and it's rocking chorus. Ben Phipps / I Don't Think So This is pure pop magic with a side of knowing when to call it quits. Adam Levine / No One Else Like You I have no idea how I'd never seen the movie 'Begin Again' but once I did, I listened to the soundtrack non-stop.  Though I didn't 100% believe Keira Knightley as a powerhouse of vocal talent, her acting was lovely and Mark Ruffalo was outstanding.  Adam Levine as as the recently douche-ified star boyfriend, James Corden as the dedicated friend, and Hailee Steinfeld as the sullen daughter round out an outstanding cast. ...

RTE Bonus: 2017 Grammys Significantly Delayed Blog

Standard disclaimer on how this is less fun on the west coast; I am social media unspoiled though so let's see what goes down.  Though, since Justin Bieber has publicly declared that the Grammys aren't relevant anymore, is there any point? Kicking off with a heavy hitter, Adele right out of the gate.  Her hair and make-up look phenomenal and that dress is so much better than what she's worn in the past.  New styling team?  Her pipes remain as impressive as ever though, this song was not one that really did it for me.  Or maybe that spring where I did nothing but listen to '21' and cry on airplanes ruined Adele for me. Is James Corden actually stuck in the stairs or is this a bit.  Oh, it's a bit.  Got it.  Was the point of that, "James Corden is good at physical comedy?"  Because this sequence is not doing a whole lot for me.  I have a lot of of love for James Corden because of a lot of his gimmicks, his appearance in 'Begin Again',...

RTE Bonus: The Grammy Awards Live Blog

8pm Why is Taylor Swift co-opting Brit Brit's Circus tour costumes?  Also, that bunny is creepy.  She sounds better than she usually does live though, so there's that.  And, are those clowns with clown hand puppets?  Yes, Tay-Tay, we know.  You're a big deal. (On a side note, I love her song 'Trouble' so much.  But, narratively, wouldn't it have made sense to release 'Trouble' before 'Never Ever...'?) Oh LL Cool J.  I'm liking the hometown shout outs.  Plus, the signature Kangol hat. The lights hanging in the theater look like the lights that Mumford & Sons used during their summer tour. My favorite thing so far?  Panning to all the unimpressed celeb faces in the crowd. Grammys for Grammy!  Aww, LL, that's adorable. Oh Adele, I love you so much.  You may need a new stylist. ELTON JOHN AND ED SHEERAN!! I read about how Elton John told the Grammy people that they had to have Ed Sheeran perform because Ed is just...
