Hello!! Well this snow is certainly putting a damper on my day, you? The GREAT news is, this weekend is supposed to go up to +17! Fantastic weather for the downtown Montreal St-Patrick's Day Parade, that is taking place this sunday! In other good news, it's hump day! We're half way there, and I don't know if its just me, but this is a fast week!
Check out these cute St-Patties Cupcakes that I found online, I'm hoping to have time between orders to make some for my friends this year! Love those cute Rainbows -Genius!
Hello! It’s been forever! I’ve been totally slacking on the blog posts, it’s such a busy time of year! I find once spring hits I tend to be less of a hermit, which is definitely a good thing, but not so good for the blog! With a full time job, gym & cupcakes at night, my life is getting super busy! I will attempt to keep the blog as updated as possible, but bear with me in knowing it’s not a lack of disinterest, but rather lack of time in my schedule!
So to get to Tuesday’s tune, today’s track is one of my all-time favorites. It’s a cover done by Lauryn Hill & the Fugees, and it is fantastic! Lauryn is definitely one of my favorite artists (funny, as I write this, my shuffle just started playing “Nothing Even Matters” by Miss Hill) she’s got a voice like none other, and even though her show last January was somewhat disappointing, I still get that feeling whenever I hear her voice, true love.
Hill made a well-known name for herself with being a member of the group “The Fugees” (from 1991-1996), but it was in 1998 that she launched her solo career, with the release of “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” (one of my favorite albums of all time). This album earned Hill 5 Grammy awards, including Album of the year and Best New Artist. Following this successful album, came MTV Unplugged No.2, that was released in 2002, which was a live acoustic album (also amazing).
Today’s tune is a cover of “ Change is gonna come” by Lauryn Hill and her former group, The Fugees, Enjoy!
This is a pre-St-Patricks day post. The goal? To get you ALL excited about this wonderful event! I have to say, aside from Halloween, this is my favorite time of year! (and I'm not even Irish) I experienced my first St-Patricks day parade downtown Montreal, probably about 4 years ago. SO much fun! Hudson started doing parades 2 years ago, and last year was my first year attending, it was a blast! The 3rd annual Hudson St-Patricks Day parade will be held this Saturday (March 10th, 2012) in Hudson starting at 1pm!
I recently purchased these Cupcake Liners, how cute are they! Can't wait to use them!
Well she's done it again! Rihanna's got me hooked on yet another track! Since I've already done a brief bio on her, I'll get straight to the point. Here's today's track; "Where Have You Been".
This past Saturday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Young The Giant live at the Corona Theater in Montreal. It was absolutely amazing! Walk the Moon opened for them, I had never heard of them before but 30 seconds into their first song I was hooked, seriously talented band! Walk the Moon reminded me a lot of the group MGMT, but also had this rock folkness to them that I instantly digged!
About an hour later, Young The Giant took the stage and Sameer, the lead singer announced that Francois (their drummer) was in fact from Montreal! So naturally the crowd went wild, and the show started off on a high! They played songs from their debut album, but also a lot of new stuff, which was exciting because it must mean there's a new album in the works! The band announced, although not sure if they were allowed to, that they will be playing at this year's Osheaga festival in August, very exciting! The show ended with Walk The Moon joining them on stage to perform their number one hit "My Body", it was incredible! I managed to take a video of it, but I’ll admit it was insanely hard not to join in with the audience and jump up and down! All in all, it was a fantastic show! Can't wait to see them again!
Check out some pictures I took and the video of "My Body", you can literally feel the crowd energy! Enjoy!
