Music I Listen to While Writing

     When I write, I usually have youtube playing my favorite music in the background, or I have Pandora on.  I let my daughter use my Pandora account, and she is obsessed with this song.  Both of my girls have memorized the lyrics, and they sing it around the house constantly.  They've even played with the harmony, and whatnot.  At any rate, I found myself listening to it this week because it was stuck in my head.

     It's called Lost Boy, by Ruth B.  As far as I can tell, she's an independent artist.  I listened to one of her other songs, and didn't really care for it, but this one is awesome.

Fantasy Landscapes

I love fantasy landscapes to get the creative juices flowing.  Here's a few from the web

What I got for Christmas

Ate way too much, lol.

Pentatonix

     Okay, so Pentatonix is not an indie group, but they are OH SO GOOD!  I have a hard time getting into Christmas music because it is mostly the old, boring stuff, and after listening to it since Halloween (Michelle...) I'm just not in the mood when Christmas rolls around.  So, I love when a group can make the old classics sound new.  Pentatonix is awesome at this.  If anyone is looking for a last min. Christmas gift, this is it!.  Their Christmas CD is only $8 here >> Amazon. Here's just one of their songs.

Cat Jump Fails

I can't stop laughing.  Cats are so graceful, it's funny to see them biff it.

12 Days of Christmas

     Straight No Chaser is an incredible a capella group.  They have a great mix of humor and talented vocals.  Now that it's officially past Thanksgiving, I'll listen to Christmas music.  I get bored of the old, tired Christmas music, so I love when a group makes up a new Christmas song, or gives an old one a revitalized sound, but mostly I like funny remakes like this.

     This remake of the 12 Days of Christmas is great.  Give it a listen.

Realistic Mario

This video made me laugh too much.  Pete Homes' stuff is funny, but some of it is crude, and there are swear words in a lot of his videos.  This one is clean though.

Kid History

These guys are one of the funniest guys on youtube.  They are safe for kids to watch, and still funny as heck.  My kids love their antics, and watch their skits and snippets again and again.  Their YouTube page is Bored Shorts TV
