My dad found this clip of Tickle Me Pink performing The Time Is Wrong in Wyoming on SoundCloud earlier this week and I have been listening to it on repeat. Nbehnke (the person who mixed the live version) did a really good job at capturing what the live concert feels like. Listening to this song really made me miss going to so many TMP shows. Tickle Me Pink - The Time Is Wrong by nbehnke Maybe this is why I am in search for new local bands to follow, I need to get my fix of local music!

Mother Fuckin Be There
Join me for more local music this Friday at Road 34 (bonus: it is Sean Bennett of The Heyday's birthday on Saturday): If that video wasn't enticing enough for you to make the trek to Fort Collins on Friday to see The Heyday, Eldren and BlackHounds, then maybe this video of Eldren from their show last week at Marquis with My Body Sings Electric will be: Plus the BlackHounds look like a fun band to party with:
My Purse Is Full
Of Square credit card readers! Yes, my purse is generally full of crap: camera, iPhone, Blackberry, iPad, Mophie, countless cords, ear plugs, wallet, makeup, band-aids, Advil, contacts...the list goes on and on and on, but how many times has it come in handy for you? There have been countless nights where I have lent out my cell phone charges, Mophie chargers to those in need, given Advil to those in pain and caught many moments on camera (that most would probably like to forget) but it is always worth it. Now my purse is full of something else that will likely help others more than it helps ...
Video from Mountain of Arms
For anyone that did not heed my advice and missed out on Mountain of Arms last weekend, you are in luck, I took a ton of videos! Here are some of my favorites: Bop Skizzum covering Florence and the Machine's Dog Days Are Over Eldren: Acoustic Air Dubai: Petals of Spain singing Lady Luck: Here is a playlist of all the Mountain of Arms videos (and link to them all on my YouTube Mountain of Arms page): Hopefully you have learned from your mistakes if you were not there and will pay attention to my list of upcoming local concerts next time! :)
We So Excited. We Gonna Have A Ball
Here comes another great weekend of local concerts in Denver! I have added a Google Calendar to my blog (on the right) that details the list of upcoming concerts I plan on attending. Please let me know if I have missed any that you think I should be attending.
About.Me Business Cards
During SXSW About.Me had a booth in the convention center where they had a professional photographer taking head shots of people to update their About.Me profile. Jana made an appointment for her and I have our photos taken and hers turned out so well that they are using it in their new promotional email for their deal with Moo business cards! She is also featured on their homepage: UPDATE: Here is what my cards will look like on the Offers page: I guess I have no excuse for not having my own personal business cards now that About.Me and Moo have made it so easy!
Who The Hell Is The Easter Bunny?
I have received no less than 5 different emails/text/fb messages today that have referenced lyrics from Rebecca Black's horrifically, intoxicating song. This has forced me to listen to as many other songs as loudly as possible to drown out Friday from repeating in my head. Unfortunately I stumbled on this video, and while the lyrics have been altered (and are high-larious!) I still have that damn song in my head. This song/video is worth watching, even if it means having 'we-we-we so excited/I I I so crucified' repeating in my head: Gotta eat fish on Friday!
My New Favorite, Most Used App Of The Moment
is Postagram! They just launched last week, so of course I immediately signed up. What better product to bridge my love of taking Instagram photos with sharing those photos with loved ones? Now I can not only share the Instagram photos with all of closest internet friends, but I can sent postcards to my favorite Luddites as well! Postagram just makes it so easy (and cheap) to send a postcard. (more…)
I fell in love at SXSW
...with ear plugs My love affair with ear plugs started innocently enough. While at a concert during SXSWi I realized I had received some free ear plugs that were conveniently located in the humongous purse that is permanently attached to my shoulder. After minutes of digging in my purse to find them, I finally located them. Eventually I was able to get them into my ears, and I was in heaven! Considering I generally find myself next to the speaker (always on the right side too) the ear plugs gave my ears a much needed break from the show. For the rest of my time at ...
