I've loved José González for years now. Apparently Mr. González is on the soundtrack to the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". I haven't seen the movie, never cared too, until now!
This is my "Jump into 2014" song!

Another Christmas

Another successful Christmas has come and gone.  We had a small taste of chilly winter weather but mainly it was just another sunny day in CA.We celebrated with new family member's, enough tamales for weeks of leftovers, a Christmas toast, to the up and coming 2014 weddings and new found Lego obsessions.
As Dylan left cookies for Santa, reminded me to cut up carrots for the reindeer and to, "leave Santa with regular milk, mom!", I had a proud moment... I have kept this tradition and magic alive. I'm afraid this might be the last year of magic. I will have to create new traditions, maybe I'll try the "Pickle in the Tree" one. Until then I will forever treasure the home footage of this past Christmas morning magic.   
Wrapping paper all packed up, lights taken down and the Christmas tree that was center stage is now sitting outside waiting for it's final destination. It's on to getting back into he groove of the daily life without that Christmas sparkle. 
Blessing and love.

I'm taking it back to the 20's!
Musical genius Klaus Waldeck's  2007, Ballroom Stories  is a time warp into the 1920's. I heard maybe 20 seconds of this song and I immediately had to find the source! "Why Did We Fire the Gun" is a cool, trip hop, lounge sound with vocals by Valerie Sajdik.
Enjoy.

I'm feeling this track!! I know it's extremely repetitive but I don't think songs like these are supposed to be played all the way through, there meant to be mixed. But, hey, we can still enjoy them as a solo track.
