I am prolly one of the only people in the US who don't know much about Oprah. I admire the adversity she has overcome and the few times I've seen her on TV she seems very charismatic. But I have never joined the Oprah bandwagon. That said, a friend linked up to Oprah's dreamboard widget. It isn't the most technically sleek thing - def some design flaws. But it did get me thinking about what I want to accomplish in the new year. So I'm posting it here in case you are needing a little nudge, like I was.

Oprah's dream board (requires a free registration)

mine

In case you are curious and the print is crazy tiny like it is on my screen, here are my "intentions":

1. Love without strings. Forgive completely.
2. Be audaciously imaginative. Check in every wardrobe.
3. Live imperfectly with great delight. (stolen from curlygirldesign)
4. Don't just hear - LISTEN. Don't just look - SEE.

So I don't even know what to call this link. (It goes to vimeo so you know it is safe.) Lindy talks about her struggle with trolls. But it is so much more than that. (via NPR)

My friends, The Cush, posted a free holiday song on bandcamp. CHECK IT OUT. (I have such a girlcrush on Gabi.)

Anyway, it is prolly US only (sorry) and seems to require iTunes. But if you can get past those two restrictions, looks like some interesting stuff.

If you, like me, have more than enough on your to do list and are looking for a distraction, check out Brite's series of articles called "You're Missing" - although considering the caliber of music aficionados on this site you probably aren't actually missing them. Still, it is fun to be reminded of some of the greats who might have been forgotten. Recent articles have covered Memphis Minnie and Ted Lucas.

You can always count on me to help with the procrastination thing.

This is the time of year when we remind friends and family how much they mean to us. Often with gifts. Usually with food. You are all very dear to me, so here is my gift to you:


The Rosebuds cover Sade's Love Deluxe


One of my favorite bands, covering a favorite artist - what could be better? Oh, you want it free? OK, if you insist.

Can't get enough of the Rosebuds?  Check out their Christmas album, also available on bandcamp. Or just read what they wrote about Christmas music as a genre.

Can't wait.

I loved Sade before anyone else did. Really.

Did you get a box of love in the mail today???

You can listen to previous days' songs but can only download the current one. And if you are looking for a unique gift, I think their subscription service looks super nifty and not too expensive. Today's song is Maiden of Death.
