So, it's official. I suck at maintaining a consistent schedule (ever since I missed my own birth...)
In my defense, I had two workshops Friday to prepare for and have been working at either both the university + Pet Planet or going to the university and taking classes. I also went to a workshop about building communities end engaging people! I guess that's still no excuse, please accept these songs as condolences: Mos Def - Ms Fat Booty Little Dragon - Klapp Klapp Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Holy Roller Lupe ft. Ab-Soul - Thorns & Horns CyHi the Prynce - Is It Me Broken Bells - Holding On For Life Broken Bells - Holding On For Life (Nick Zinner Remix) Eliza Doolittle - Skinny Genes

It;s been awfully lonely in the office without our engagement coordinators... But at least we finally have our on-campus space up and running!
Rac ft. Penguin Prison - Hollywood Lana del Rey - Blue Jeans (remix) Penguin Prison - Fair Warning Florian Rietze - Triebhaus (MPathy Remix) Lorde/The Beatles - Royals/Come Together Mash-Up Agnes Obel - Fuel To Fire (remix) Dark Horse (Acoustic Katy Perry cover) Also, one of the engineers in our office just had his first baby, a 7lb, 8oz creature with a full head of hair. So we added some extra 'lullabies' to the mix: Lullaby 1 Lullaby 2 Lullaby 3 Lullaby 4 It's been a pretty hectic day at the office with meetings, engagement programs, and an opening of a brand new Sustainability Resource Centre! With that being said, not much participation in song swap! I gave it a day but nothing else came through.
Here are some songs to get you through the weekend: Roisin Murphy - Rama Lama (Bang Bang) The Broken Circle Breakdown - The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We had a Valentine's Day-themed song swap today, with no direction but a subject titled "The Love Day Playlist". I can't be sure how many people in the office have just gotten out of serious relationships, but there were certainly a lot of songs for the single pringles among us. Take a listen and judge for yourself.
For the Better Halves: Arctic Monkeys - I Wanna Be Yours Ciara - Body Party Amy Irving/Jessica Rabbit - Why Don't You Do Right? Bran Van 3000 - Astounded Luther Vandross - Love Won't Let Me Wait For the Single Pringles: Lake Street Dive - I Want You Back (Jackson 5 Cover) CeeLo Green - Fuck You Jhené Aiko - The Worst Jhené Aiko (ft. Childish Gambino - Bed Peace Wet - Don't Wanna Be Your Girl (Eest Coast Remix) Ki: Theory - Open Wound Good Omens - By Open Plain (Entire Album) It's been a busy week with workshops and conferences but there was still time for song swap this week! One of my good friends (who I met on my field school in Belize) is part of a terrific folk/blue-grass/jazz style band, Whiskeyjack, and they just released their first studio album! I was pumped to be able to share some of their music this week. Here's what we've got:
Jason Mraz - Bella Luna Stevie Ray Vaughn - Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix Cover) Whiskeyjack - There and Back Again Whiskeyjack - Railroad Bill Whiskeyjack - On Your Own Portugal. The Man - Sea of Air Barbarossa - The Load Pete Seeger - This Land is Your Land (A Tribute) Avicii - Hey Brother Every January it seems like the days go by faster and faster! After an appropriately-named "Meat & Greet" at Big T's Steakhouse with a previous employee, I'm more than ready to sink into this bar-b-q coma and just listen to some sweet office tuneage.
Arctic Monkeys - Knee Socks Dragon Fli Empire - Keep The Funk Alive Little May - Hide Little May - Boardwalks Lykke Li - Knocked Up (Kings of Leon Cover) Grey Reverend - Everlasting Oscaar Isaac & Marcus Mumford - Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song) Samba de la Muerte - Begin Began Begun Hot Since 82 & Habischman - Leave Me Hot Since 82 - Shadows (Ft. Alex Mills) Green Velvet - Bigger Than Prince (Hot Since 82 Remix) James Blake - Life Around Here Run D.M.C. - Rock Box One of the perks at the office is a weekly tradition known as Friday Song Swap. It's exactly what it sounds like: we share what we're listening to with the other members. Contributions include old songs that we just can't get out of our heads, new songs heard that morning on CJSW, randomly selected songs from shuffle, or sometimes even cat videos. Everyone has different tastes in music so it's a great way to become exposed to new genres or tunes, and who knows, sometimes you find out that maybe you don't hate R&B after all.
Here are the results from January 10: kwes. - 36 Lynard Skynard - Call Me the Breeze Eric Clapton & JJ Cale - Call Me the Breeze My Bubba & Mi - Sexual Healing (Marvin Gaye cover) Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Haitus Kaiyote - Live Session on KCRW Drake - Too Much (ft.
