listen: “Elevate” by St. Lucia
Even though it’s only May, there has been talk about what the song of the summer will be. Some early contenders include catchy hits by Iggy Azalea and Calvin Harris, but I would like to throw “Elevate” by the Brooklyn based St. Lucia into the ring. The band, which is lead by the perfectly-coiffed Jean-Philip Grobler, is … Continue reading
listen: “Follow Your Arrow” by Kacey Musgraves
Kacey Musgraves is not your typical country singer.  You can definitely hear the country twang in her voice, but her lyrics don’t follow the typical country music blueprint. She is absolutely gorgeous, but she might be the first successful country singer to rock a nose ring. She is currently filling the void that the Dixie Chicks … Continue reading
listen: “Digital Witness” by St. Vincent
YouTube is a great source for parodies that comment on the state of the union or the affect of media through song, but it has been awhile since a song directly addresses the subject head on. Enter singer/songwriter Annie Clark aka St. Vincent. With her new single, “Digital Witness”, she talks about people use and are … Continue reading
listen: “Silhouette” by Active Child featuring Ellie Goulding
From the very first note, I was instantly taken by the song, “Silhouette” by the musician Pat Grossi who creates dreamy pop tunes reminiscent of the group, New Order, under the name Active Child. If that band name sounds familiar, it’s because one of his songs, “Hanging On” was covered by Ellie Goulding on her … Continue reading
listen: “Happy” by Pharrell Williams
There are very few songs that actually make me happy. “Happy” by Pharrell Williams is one of those songs that makes me…happy. After one listen, it’s hard not to want to jump up and start dancing down the sidewalk. Uplifting lyrics and a bouncy retro beat make this song instantly catchy. The song, which is … Continue reading
listen: Jenny Lewis “Completely Not Me”
If you caught the one hour season premiere of HBO’s “Girls” last Sunday, my song suggestion for the week will sound very familiar. During the closing credits of the episode titled “Truth or Dare”, singer Jenny Lewis’ new single, “Completely Not Me” played loudly and boisterously, the perfect way to end an episode where … Continue reading
Listen: Fare Thee Well (Dink’s Song)
I’m not the biggest fan of folk music: I have some Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and Cat Stevens songs on my iPod, but that genre is in the minority when it comes to music I usually listen to. The overabundance of folk music is what made me apprehensive about seeing the Coen Brothers’ latest film, … Continue reading

Celebrate: The New Year (by Following Me on Twitter!)
2014 is less than 24 hours away. The past couple of days have allowed me to reflect on all the good and the bad things that have happened this year. One great that has happened this year is this blog. One of my biggest flaws is that when it comes to a passion project, I … Continue reading
A Year in Review – Film and Television
It was a great year for film and television this year. A plethora of amazing movies have come out year round, making the annual Academy Awards an extremely tight race. Old favorites returned to the small screen, while others took their final bows (RIP “Breaking Bad” and “Dexter”). Companies started to take notice of the … Continue reading
A Year in Review: Food
I always looks forward to writing the food section for “Thought I Might Suggest”. I don’t think I’m a particularly skilled cook in the kitchen, but I try to find a mix of food I can actually cook, food I would love to try, and food I have tried and curate my findings on this … Continue reading
A Year in Review – Fashion
2013 was another great year for fashion. Trends from decades past including peplum skirts and crop tops made a huge comeback, Kim Kardashian went through a high fashion makeover courtesy of Kanye West, and the red carpet for almost all the major awards show did not disappoint. Along with the new trends emerged bona fide … Continue reading
A Year in Review – Travel
The travel section is probably one of my favorite things to write about on this site. It’s the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way for me to escape the mundane nine to five that is my life. This year, I have featured travel posts from almost every continent in the world with the exception of Antarctica. … Continue reading
