Dec, 2013, one morning when I awoke very early and caught a waft of holiday spirit
It was an unusual Christmas for me. Didn’t want to shop or decorate or watch all my favourite movies. I was just not into it. Thankfully, my significant people seemed to understand–in fact, some of them were feeling the same way. So I puttered at the things that felt meaningful, and made my low key way through the holidays. It was the most relaxed December, ever.
However, the New Year is now well underway and yesterday I realized that I hadn’t done my annual new-to-me playlist for 2013. Here it is…late and, I think, better for it.
Happy 2014! May each day in the year ahead find you doing the things you love. And people to love you as you do.

Better Late Top 10 New-to-me Playlist 2013
Fiona Apple ~ “Criminal” Funky and a wee bit dark.
Serena Ryder ~ “Stompa” Let’s just dance already, k.
Zero 7 ~ “In the Waiting Line” Heard on a favourite online radio station–Radio Paradise. Spacey and sorta sultry. Love the vocal harmonies and the instrumental bits.
Paul McCartney ~ “Let Me Roll It” I know: How could I have missed it?
Broken Bells ~ “Your Head is On Fire” Again, the harmonies and instrumentals, particularly the strings.
The Lumineers ~ “Ho Hey” Just a sweet song.
The La’s ~ “There She Goes” Upbeat. A fun, slightly sexy tune.
Poison ~ “Unskinny Bop” All I can say is that I must have been busy that year. Bop bop…WAIT A MINUTE…where’s the video?! The original video is no longer available, nor is the feature that allows reordering of tunes as one sees fit. You WILL find an “Unskinny Bop” video at the bottom of the playlist. Bop!
Justin Townes Earle ~ “Ain’t Waitin” Skill and a little grit.
Amos Lee ~ “Colors” On the “Just Like Heaven” soundtrack. Another song that I had to have heard but did not register. Caught my attention when watching the movie the second time… (and the third… ).
