My Love Affair With Electro Swing

Confession: I totally fangirled.

I dare you to ask me what music I like to listen to. Well, one hour I'm really craving some Brad Paisley or "Florida Georgia Line." Next hour, all I want is the bass and summer vibes of "Sublime With Rome" or the "Dirty Heads." Mix in some "Green Day" and "Angels and Airwaves." Later on, I'm mentally playing along with my favorite Bach violin Partita. If I'm stuck in the car with only the radio, it's the classic rock station, hands down. So who says I have to choose just one?

Confession: I totally fangirled over my recent discovery of the electro swing genre. A friend introduced me to the group "Caravan Palace," and my own obsessive YouTube exploration frenzy went from there. Think, EDM fusing with the 20s to 40s-Gatsby-era-big-band-Charleston time period. Now, I'm no expert on the genre and I don't claim to be. I'm just another music fanatic that was easily hooked on the vibe, beat, and nostalgic big band feel that the genre revolves around. The new sound was irresistibly intriguing to me. So here's a few of my favorites (so far!) that you have to hear to believe.


1. "Lone Digger" by Caravan Palace

Crazy funky animated psychedelic video.

2. "The Queen of Swing" by Swingrowers, featuring Gypsy Hill

Don't be fooled by the calmness of the beginning pizazz

3. "Thrift Shop" by Bart & Baker Electro Swing Remix

This is genius. Can't get enough of her voice.

4. "Looking Like This" by Lyre Le Temps

Catchy chorus, original style, some humor, the change to 'speaking' actually grew on me

5. "Bella Belle" by Electric Swing Circus

Light and perky...looking mighty swell..

6. "Bad Boy Good Man" by Tape Five


7. "Box of Secrets" by Zarif

Open up your box of secrets take one out for me...

8. "That's right" by Swingrowers


Damn can she sing! Love the chorus.

9. "Jolie Coquine" by Caravan Palace


How to do without you...Plus some priceless stop motion video action

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
