music

i love music. i mean, love it. it might be my single most favorite thing in the world. there are so many things i cannot do without the sound of something wonderful in my ears. like- work out. i've been known to walk into the gym, hop on a treadmill, and if my ipod battery is dead- i walk out. i suppose that's not a monumental statement from anyone who might be reading this. duh. megan loves music. but i seem to be finding that i appreciate it so much more in the last year.

here's the thing. mario and i had completely different taste in music. not completely different, but well, we listened to mostly salsa, meringue, bachata....things not in english. which is fine. i LOVE that music too. we danced, we shared a love for dance. latin music brings me joy, but not being in my native language, it's hard to be completely inspired by something i can't fully understand.

so rediscovering my ears has been the most fun thing from my newly single life. i find myself listening to new things all the time and thinking, "how did i NOT know about this?" like, there's not enough time in a day for me to sit quietly and listen to new things.

here are things i currently can't get enough of:




i know. it's a bizarre combination. if there's something you haven't heard of, i can't really take the credit for discovering any of these gems. i have friends that have ridiculously amazing taste in music. (thanks to ben, michael, matt, todd, the list goes on.) but, if it's something you would consider complete crap- that's me. like i said i love music, but dance is my second favorite, and who can't get down to lady gaga?

check them out. hopefully you'll find yourself truly inspired.

what are you listening to?
