Yes, I am a few days late. I blame it on having a holiday in the middle of the week, because let's face it, today seems like Tuesday. Either way, what better way to celebrate summer than with the theme song for the 2012 Summer Olympics? That's right, Muse's song Survival is the official song of the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Plus the official video is also quite inspiring:

Pilates + prAna gear = Fashionable Monika (& a giveaway!)
It's no secret that I have started actually working out for the first time in my life, but I am finally starting to dress the part as well! My workout attire had consisted of startup t-shirts and tights from Target, but now I have a little more style while working out, thanks to prAna! They've got my back, literally. They were nice enough to gift me with the following active wear pieces (and boy are they comfy)! They gave me the Mackenzie Knickers, the Quinn Chakara top and the Kira top: I mean look how cute I look at 6:00 am! And? I look even more stylish when actually doing Pilates. ...
New Music Tuesday – Maroon 5′s Overexposed
Yes, I am going to go a little pop on you right now. Just because I am indiebitch, doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other genres at the same time. I remember falling in love with Maroon 5 back in 2002, when they played at CU for the New Student Welcome concert on Farrand field. Most people didn't know who they were, but we all fell in love with Adam Levine. (I mean, how could you not?) I then tried to see them in 2003 in Las Vegas where they were slated to open for John Mayer, but cancelled at the last minute to go play ...
Westword Music Showcase 2012
Did you miss the Westword Music Showcase this last Saturday? I hope not, but if you did, here are a few videos of what you missed: It was a great event, despite the heat. The dance party for Girl Talk was out of control. I am already looking forward to WMS next year, and of course, to the Underground Music Showcase later in July!
Rolling Stones Women Who Rock – Sleeper Agent
I absolutely love Sleeper Agent. Every time I have seen them play, they put on a great show. I love how flirty and playful Alex gets with the guys in the band. They are fun to both listen to and to watch. Vote now to get Alex and Sleeper Agent on the front cover of Rolling Stone for their Women Who Rock contest! Just click the 5 stars, and then watch the video to see what I mean about how amazing they are.
Twitter is Down! Now What?
I am sure you all realized that Twitter was down earlier this morning, right? No? Just me? Well, I posted it to Twitter and was asked by Dave Taylor to write about what I was doing instead of posting to Twitter. Read my post on Intuitive.com's blog.
New Music Tuesday – Walk the Moon
Yes, I am a day late with this one, so sue me. 93.3 KTCL has been playing this Walk the Moon's song Anna Sun for a few weeks now, but I am really digging the whole album, especially Jenny. What do you guys think?
Rdio and My Obsession For New Music
One question I get a lot is "how do you find new music?" There are SO many ways in which I discover new songs and band,s but I want to tell you one of my favorite ways to discover new music and share a funny story about the band I re-discovered this week. Every Tuesday, I get really excited as I drive to the office. Why? It's new music Tuesday! This is the big day when all the bands release their new CD's/Albums/Singles/whatever-you-want-to-call-them. I remember the time when I would go to the local record store (or, let's be honest, the local Best Buy) each week ...
Katie Herzig – A Lesson in Listening to Friends
It wasn't very long ago that Katie Herzig came to Denver for a show. I did not attend, despite being told that I had to go see her. Pretty sure Aimee even offered me a free ticket. Of course, I am now regretting my decision to not attend the show. Doh! Here is a video of her covering both The Eurhythmics and the White Stripes in one amazing cover song. Hope you enjoyed it as much as me. And let this be a lesson to you, when your friends say there is this great concert you should go to? You should listen to them or forever regret ...
BlogFrog Ladies
I haven't written about BlogFrog on here since I started, but if you follow me on Twitter, you have seen the countless tweets about #blogfrogbuddies or #overheardatblogfrog and more where I am just gushing about what a great team we have here. Here is proof of some of the amazing women I work with, taken at Brianne's reception last week: Aren't we adorable and fun? I think so! Also, did I mention that BlogFrog is hiring? Check out all of the great positions we have available. You can't say you wouldn't want to work with such a fun crowd!
