In Slow Motion

November 28, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Happy Monday! I do have a non-blurry version of these two who are standing along the Seine, but I think this one better suits the music. I just found this beautiful song and I couldn’t resist sharing it immediately. I heard it in a great ad that I’ll put up as well, it’s definitely worth watching. “Last Night I Heard Everything in Slow Motion” by Oliver Tank

Bordeaux & Paris

November 18, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Paris is the only city in the world I feel I could walk out into the street in broad daylight wearing this shade, Bordeaux, of lipstick. It’s strangely empowering, I was struttin’ all day. As a thank you to my gracious Parisienne host, GB, I’m embedding one of her favourite songs. Enjoy. “Elle me dit” par Mika

… and that’s the way it is

October 12, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

In the mood for some 80s hiphop? I’m pretty sure I was on a dance team that did a routine to this song. It must have been over ten years ago because I can’t quite remember what it was for… certain moves definitely come into mind… muscle memory is an incredible thing isn’t it? Anyway, this track does not deserve to be forgotten. Straight out of 1997, the Jason Nevins remix of Run DMC’s It’s Like That:

….And Now For Something Completely Different

October 5, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s the pre-recording day of Total Eclipse of the Chart on cKut 90.3! The show, which plays tracks from the station’s most played albums from the past week, airs at 6am on Thursday- so we’re not so keen on doing it live. Last week we had a particularly strong set list. If you’re interested you can listen to September 29th’s show and hear me DJ with Karen R. The earlier show ran long, so you’ll hear […]

Woods and Lemonade

June 9, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Good Morning! The song is Lemonade by Braids. Although they are now in Montreal, so a couple of their members could attend McGill, Braids got started in their high school in Calgary. I wish I was that cool in high school. My ‘band’ was a 40 person choir ensemble that seemed to sing most of our stuff in Latin or Swahili. I also happened to be the president of it… so yeah, I guess you could say I was pretty cool. Lemonade by […]

Go. Stop.

June 3, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

All dressed up with somewhere to go. I’m sitting here writing this blog entry in a new dress, hair done and make up on, while my dinner companions are stuck in traffic, presumably staring at the clock and counting down the now 9 minutes we have to make our reservation. I was restless for twenty minutes waiting until I decided to stop and be productive. I felt awful in that “running to stand still” feeling, but it made me think […]
