Song of the Moment

I didn't think I could love music anymore than I already do, but that is precisely what happened when I listened to "Don't Throw Me Away," the newest album by an AMAZING band called The Mumlers.

Their sound is a fun combination of 'Louis Armstrong-esque' jazz and blues and Indie rock, with a feel of marching band thrown in the mix. Honestly....I'm not really sure how to describe it. All I can say is, it's pretty awesome.
I'm not sure who this guy is, but the pic was featured on The Mumler's MySpace page....
Odd? Probably.
Super fun? Almost definitely.
Seriously people: Check this band out! The Mumlers.
By the way, the band's newest album 'Don't Throw Me Away' is on sale at itunes. Act now, before it's too late!
UPDATE: I found a great article on The Mumlers and lead singer Will Sprott. Check it out to see just how cool these kids are! Click here.

My older sister P.J. is expecting a little baby boy, due in December, and was telling me that she had just picked out the bedding for the crib. The blankets are baby blue and brown, with a rock'n'roll pattern. This got me thinking: with so many "cutesy" baby things, how does one stay stylish? I present: Awesome baby nurseries/kid's rooms from Apartment Therapy's Ohdeedoh. No applause necessary.

These are pics were featured on Apartment Therapy. They're from the home of Elizabeth and Kevin, residents of Philadelphia, PA. I love, love, love their living room. So chic and stylish!
