#85: Elizabeth & the Catapult [Race You]

Yesterday, Pat and I had an obnoxious game of tag. Giggling, screaming (mostly on my part). At a 'tag' pause I thought: "We're forever... I like that." With that I press play on, Race You.

#75: Bitter:Sweet [Don't Forget to Breathe]

I'm a sucker for female vocal ambient jazz. While people are sick of the over-abused lounge genre, (for gosh sakes, they play it at Safeway!) I'm begging for more. I have to tell myself, "Don't Forget to Breathe".

#68: Tapes 'n Tapes [In Houston]

In the past three years I've had seven friends move to Texas. What is it about the Lone Star state? Perhaps it's the attraction of a 5 bedroom house with 22 bathrooms for $46 In Houston?
