Almost a year ago (HOLY SMOKES) I took a trip to NYC with my Graphic Design class to learn how studios work, and how to show my portfolio. The morning (6am) at the airport one of my classmates comes up to me and says "are you excited about your interview?" to which I responded "excuse me?...interview?" then continues to tell me that our art director sent out an email the night before to four of us that we were interviewing for a paid internship. I had ZERO intention of moving to NYC plus I still had 6 credits to take before I graduated. Needless to say that same day I nailed my interview, got the internship and moved 700 miles away from home to start a new life 3 weeks later. Currently Im living in New Jersey, but in just a few weeks my roomie and I are moving into an apartment in Manhattan, which is insane/ surreal to me. So pretty much, Im rolling with the punches which is why I picked this song.

A song that describes me: Eric Hutchinson -- "Rock & Roll"

Im so crazy for this song it's not even funny. It's hard to judge if someone would expect me to like this or not, but I do. I assume there might be a bit of a surprised/questioning from my close friends, but that's nothing new. I hope you fall in love like i did, awkward singer and all.

A Song People Wouldn't Expect you to like: Antony and the Johnsons "Hope There's Someone"

I'm not going to lie, I was half tempted to put "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas as my song for this category, but I realized that I listen to this song that i picked all the time, and it's really fun to sing. This is definitely my guilty pleasure along side singing into my hair brush/ dancing around in my underwear in my apartment (when the roomie is gone, of course.)

My Guilty Pleasure: "Sweet Dreams" by Beyonce




AND I just realized she says "MY GUILTY PLEASURE I AINT GOIN NOWHERE"... It must be fate, just sayin.

I don't hate any bands/artists. I may not enjoy their music, but it doesn't mean I can't respect them.

So for today's "A song from a band you hate" enjoy some bunnies instead!

I love 90's music. Enter Barenaked Ladies, Blessed Union of Souls, Vertical Horizon, Blues Traveller, etc. But one 90's band really got me, Savage Garden. They were my first concert I went to where my parents weren't standing next to me. I had the concert on VHS, books, all of the albums. I shared this love with my cousin Andrea which was extra great. I was heart broken when 1.) They broke up and 2.) the lead singer whom I was crushing on turned out to be gay however a bond so strong cannot be broken. I still love Savage Garden and Darren Hayes' (lead singer) solo career.

A song from my favorite band: Darren Hayes -- "Insatiable"

PS he has better hair now, this is an old video.

I'm not a huge fan of falling asleep to music because usually I end up staying awake and listening to it, but I do love a relaxing moment with some good tunes.

I love love LOOOOVE Imogen Heap which means Im also obsessed with her side project Frou Frou, which I fell in love with AGAIN when they had a song on the Garden State soundtrack. This song wasn't on that album, but it's gorgeous, and the sound behind her voices is also gorgeous.

A-song-I-could-fall-asleep-to-but-not-really: Frou Frou -- "The Dumbing Down of Love"

nine.

This is my favorite song to listen at the end of a work day. It never fails to put a little pep in my step. Don't let the beginning fool you, it's so good!

A song that makes me want to dance: The Gabe Dixon Band "Find My Way"
