Modern Love of David Bowie

July 15, 2014 | Viciously Sweet

I’ve been on a big kick of listening to David Bowie.

In my car on the way to work it’s the “Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust”

On the way home it’s all about “Modern Love”.

And this was my childhood

I remember this music video vividly from my childhood. I really liked this song, and by this I mean I used to sing it in the supermarkets while jumping from white tile to white tile* and right now its stuck in my head.

I’m still unsure if George Harrison lives in Pee Wee’s playhouse.. or an incredibly haunted house… either way he is very chill about it.

I wish I were playing skip it while singing this song.

*Thats how children used to pretend to be Michael Jackson from Billie Jean.

I will always miss you Phil Collins

In this crazy week where I discovered my new favorite word “Biwinning” I thought I was on top of the world… Ahem, winning. Duh.
Today the internet told me that Phil Collins is retiring, you can read the article here.

I have been through phases where I want to stab my head in, due to the overplay of that song from Tarzan. But I never thought this day would come. I mean for a lot of people born in the 80’s Phil Collin’s music has been ingrained in your existence… Like this song:

I have unironically been listening to Phil Collins for the last fortnight… and just wanted you to know in a with a slight Natalie Imbruglia reference “this is how I feel:”

Also take at least this Phil Collins song with you (which is one of my faves):

Have a nice Phil Collins infused weekend.

UPDATE: PHIL COLLINS IS ONLY TAKING A BREAK. I FEEL RELIEVED IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY. BUT I’M STILL GOING TO LISTEN TO GENESIS IN MY CUBICLE WITH THE FURY AND INTENSITY OF LLOYD DOBLER.

Monday’s Elvis: Elvis Costello

September 21, 2009 | Viciously Sweet

Let’s talk about

I cannot stop listening to Elvis Costello.

I don’t think this is a major suprise as I listen to Bowie, Toto, and Men at work in my regular rotation….actually sometimes I like to pretend that it is years or even decades ago with my music…but i digress

I even stayed up last night to watch a concert he did in 2007 on VH1… even though I’ve already seen it. But it was amazing, and so worth my groggy morning..

There is something about him that always makes me smile. I adore his humor, and his lyrics… all in all he’s adorable. And not only is his music great, but he does awesome covers…. like “Suspicious Minds” “My Funny Valentine” and “Beautiful”.

Enjoy Elvis Costello!
