fabulous friday video goodness—summer forgets me

Deas Vail. I listened to them ALL DAY yesterday. At work and at home. It was, well, it was music to my ears. They, like Farewell Flight, who were featured on my not so regular because, y'all, life is crazy semi-regular FFVG post back in September are on the Mono Vs Stereo label. Pretty much they're delightful, and so is this video*.



*Also enjoyable, this lyrics video for their song "Sixteen."

fabulous friday video goodness: wata wata

There is always a song or two that becomes the theme song for my family's annual girls beach trip. This year it was my adorable niece Ashby who picked our theme song. We'd all be enjoying dinner, or hanging out watching the sun set, or on the back deck laying out in the sunshine. She would pad up to you with her tiny, tan bare feet and look up at you and ask, "wata?" No matter how warm the sun was, or how pretty the sunset, no matter how good dinner was or how many dishes still needed to be washed, we would stop what we were doing and have a dance party. Her request was "wata" which is Ashby for "Waka Waka." But really she was asking to hear two songs, both of which happen to be World Cup theme songs. So, in honor of CB11 and my sweet little niece, here are two fun videos. Do me, yourself, and little Ashby a favor and have yourself a little dance party while you're listening to them.
