Top 11 of 2011

It’s that time of year again when bloggers are recapping their years and posting lists of their favorite or top posts of the year. I have only had this blog up for about three months, but I do have at least 11 favorites spanning my various blog categories. I suppose next year it will be more difficult to pick my faves!

New Music Wednesday: Christina Perri & Lydia Christine Crigger

I have a fairly eclectic taste in music. Pop, punk, ska, jazz, alternative, dance, electronica…they hold a little piece of my heart. I like to think I have a strong appreciation for most any kind of music.

Lately, I’ve been loving Christina Perri. A couple weeks (or maybe months) ago, I saw her perform live on some daytime show and I fell in love. The way she emotes her songs is incredible. She has this raw sound to her voice that I really love, too.

Not too long ago, I was perusing my Facebook and came across a sorority sister of mine. I saw that she had posted a number of videos, so of course I had to click them. I didn’t know she was in to music, let alone playing and singing her own stuff. For some reason I don’t remember that from college. Then again, she was a couple years younger than me, so maybe this happened after I graduated. Anyway, curiosity got the better of me and before I knew it, I had officially stalked this girl’s music – and I think she’s fantastic! She reminds me of Christina Perri in a way. Check her out!
