S: She & Him

When it comes to {S} there is nothing I love more than She & Him. I think that they win the Artist of the Year award from me. Not a day goes by that I don't listen to them.

M: Music

We all know that I am obsessed with music.
I blame my mother for raising me on big, powerful music that just takes over your whole soul.
I grew to develop my own tastes {but don't worry, I still love love love The Grass Roots, Jay and the Americans, Beverly Bremmers, Petula Clark, Lobo, Olivia Newton John, BJ Thomas, Gary Puckett...the list goes on and on}.
And now I am crazy for country, insane for Ingrid {concert Saturday! Woot!}, ridiculous for Regina, silly for She & Him, manic for musicals... ok I'll stop now.

ps
How do I label some of my favorite music?
When someone asks me what kind of music I love, I can say, "Country, musicals... IngridMichaelsonShe&HimReginaSpektorJoshuaRadinMariaTayloretc.etc...."

That has got to stop.
