Song of the Day

Beautiful

by Candace Sampson

I love this song Beautiful so much, I can’t stop listening to it. I love Mariah Carey’s voice and whoever this guy Miguel is. Incredible, incredible song. I knew this had to be my song of the day and so I came home and searched out the video. And now my eyes are burning out …

I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues

by Candace Sampson

Sometimes doing the math on how old I was when a song was released it just depressing. Take, I Guess That’s Why They Call it The Blues, for example. This song by Elton John was released in 1983. That’s 30 years ago for the mathematically-challenged. Thirty freaking years! I was 13 at the time and …

His voice is like buttah! …

This Love

by Candace Sampson

Adam Levine. Rowrrr. Is this guy seriously delicious or what? This is not the first time I’ve drooled over him in this space and it likely won’t be the last. In this video he’s a very young 25 or so, but well within the boundaries of respectable cougar gawking in my humble opinion. He’s not …

Jump Around

by Candace Sampson

This song brings back many, many memories. Fuzzy memories, but memories nonetheless of the “party” years. Now, that I’m older and slightly wiser, I would like to pull buddy aside and smack him upside the head for the whole “smackin’ your hoe” comment. I be smackin’ an Irish-American rapper, jack-ass. Anyway, I use my selective …

All I Want for Christmas

by Candace Sampson

Does Mariah Carey have a set of pipes or what? This song gets played LOUDLY. And there’s dancing.
