blowing your mind.. one song at a time

2/17/10

i love music. i have no musical talent. that's the way it goes. oliver is the musician in this family, and that's enough i guess. but one thing i am good at -- patterns. i have a keen ear for patterns. so, when listening to music i can be pretty spot-on in recognition.

here are a collection of songs that have reminded me of other songs.. let me know what you think.

Rilo Kiley vs. George Harrison

are you serious?!? identical.

RK "Silver Lining" vs. GH "Sweet Lord"




Michael Stipe vs. Leonard Cohen.

REM "Hope" vs. Cohen "Suzanne"

... give it some time. you'll see.




Here's the latest..

Muse vs. a little known NYC duo Mommy & Daddy ..

might be the same electro-drum mix?

Muse single "Uprising" vs. MD "Confection" (c. 2005)




and i swear there's an innocence mission that's either hey mr. tambourine man or you've got to hide your love away.. but i can't remember which IM song..

BBQ Time!


We got an awesome deal on this gas grill - Lowes already raised their prices on them for the spring, but accidentally left the sticker on with last week's price! Yay for us - we saved about $200 bucks!
This picture is of the grill sticking out of our amazing car (honda fit) it hasn't failed us yet - It can bring home anything!

Family Room Design #1




Oliver had designed a few ideas on paper and then realized he makes things in 3D for a living... why not try a few designs for the family room? Here is the result of the first try - we are really liking it so far.
