"A little bit of this. A little bit of that. A pot, a pan, a broom, a hat. . ."—Anatevka, "Fiddler on the Roof." This is a blog about everything and nothing. A little parenting, a little humor, some poetry, news, essays, a lot of music. I don't want to waste your time, just send positive vibes into the blogosphere. Oh, yeah, my name is Sarah Torribio. Enough about me, how are you?

Song of the Day: "Want You Back" by HAIM
<<last song
>> next song
"Want You Back" by HAIM is a super-positive song that I suspect will be part of my summer soundtrack. The production is awesome, it's catchy, and the ladies' voices are smooth like honey.
From Wikipedia, I learned for the first time that the band's is no pronounced haim, as I've been saying it, by hy-em, as in the Hebrew word for life. As in The Fiddler on the Roof, when Tevye and friends sing the wedding song: "To life, to life, l'chaim!"
The group consists of three sisters: Este Haim on bass, Danielle Haim on guitars and lead vocals and Alaina Haim on guitars and keyboards. Their are an indie pop rock band with a touch of soul, if you must pin the sound down.
"Want you back" is off Haim's new album Something to Tell You.

Song of the Day: "Slip Away" by Perfume Genius

"Slip Away" by Perfume Genius is song of the day on Battlestar Eclectica. Perfume Genius, I'm told, is a Seattle-based solo endeavor by Mike Hadreas and as well as being considered indie pop or indie rock falls into a genre called chamber pop. I'll take it.
What lush production he brings to the table!

Song of the Day: "No Curse" by Waxahatchee

>> next song
I'm going to say something controversial. Waxahatchee is my favorite new-to-me group. I'm loving everything played by these bad-ass indie-rock ladies. The band, Sir Wikepedia informs me, was formed in 2010 by the American singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield.
Their song "No Curse" is song of the day on battlestar eclectica.

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all these hyphenates. I say just enjoy this mid-morning wakeup call! Wild Beasts is an indie outfit, featuring vocals by Ben Little and Hayden Thorpe.

Song of the Day: "Lovelorn" by Sadie Horler

Today's song of the day is "Lovelorn" by Sadie Horler. A sweet voice with an Irish accent gets me every time. And the setting for the vid is so picturesque, reminding me that I truly live in squalor!
