I’m honoring my old blogging routine by bringing back the Music Monday feature. Music is a huge part of my life & a necessity in the studio when I’m working. My musical tastes vary dramatically depending on mood & what I’m doing. I suppose everyone is like that.  I learned quickly when Chris & I started living together, that if, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon is playing, that means Chris is dusting or deep cleaning. For me, I find that I like mellow music with a nice rhythm when I’m screen printing. What seems to get consistent studio play is the fairly new, Bahamas is Afie, album. Here’s one of my favorite songs of the album- along with a little snippet that introduced me to the great trick of putting my iPhone in a (an empty) mug when listening to music. I like listening to Afie talk about his philosophy for the album as well – it’s one that resonates with me & my work right now.

This is one of my favorite songs on the disc & it’s played so beautifully live! Here’s another interesting listen if you have the time…. Andrew Bird Plays Sounds from a Room.

I’m going to do my best to check in more often in the next few weeks, but if you don’t see me here, you can assume that I’m not caught up with orders yet. In the meantime, would you like to enjoy my favorite musician with me?

What are you listening to these days?
