Music Monday - The 70s

It's been said that I was born in the wrong decade.  Even my own mother believes I should have been born at least 20 years before I was.

When she goes through my vinyl collection, iTunes library, and/or my cassettes, she laughs and says that my taste in music indicates that I've been here before.

What can I say?  I love 70s music.  There isn't much that I do not listen to on a regular basis.  I spent this weekend listening to Kool & the Gang, Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Bee-Gees, Marvin Gaye, The Ohio Players, Parliment, Rick James, The Gap Band, Rose Royce and others.

70s music makes me smile and dance.  Doesn't it make you do the same?

Funk, jazz, soul, disco...the music definitely defined a decade.

Here are a couple of my faves.

and this is the best!

Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up Soul Train performance!!!

For Discussion:  What's your favorite 70s song...the one that never fails to get your hips swingin and a smile on your face?

Feeling Unsexy...Try this

Not only do I write, but I may have said in a post or two that music is my life.  Music has the power of cleansing my soul.

So this morning I woke up feeling unsexy and a little disgusted.  Maybe it was because I spent all day Saturday in bed not doing anything except reading vampire books and watching Investigation Discovery #thatwilldoit

However, in all of my unsexiness and feeling quite unattractive inside and out, I decided to put on some music #soulcleansing.

Then I took a shower.  I stepped out of that shower feeling like I could be a Playboy centerfold #confidencelevelatanalltimehigh  .


So, my advice, if you wake up in the morning, afternoon, or nighttime and you just aren't feelin' it...try this.  I guarantee you, you'll feel different.

Step 1: Don't look in the mirror.
Go to your computer and download the following songs to your iPod.

** Sweetest Berry - David Ryan Harris (@drh3) ft John Mayer & Bob Reynolds (@bob_reynolds)

** Ain't No Sunshine - John Mayer (Bill Withers Cover)

Step 2: Do Not Look in the Mirror!


Plug in your iPod to whatever sound system you have that allows you to hear it in the bathroom.  Hit play and make a mad dash to the bathroom.

Step 3: Get in shower
Not bath...shower.  Even if you don't normally take showers, do it just this once.

Step 4: LET YOUR INNER STRIPPER GO WILD.
Don't be afraid...let loose.  No one is watching.  Gyrate your hips, rub your hands over your body.  You can do that, it's yours.  Remember, no one sees you.  It's okay.  Sing along if you want.  Have fun! Be Sexy

See, don't you feel a lot better now?
