Really got a hold on me

I first came across She & Him through my favorite blogger. At that time, particular lines from  “You Really Got a Hold On Me” just did the trick. I was going through a phase and the Beatles cover hit a spot. We all know there’s something about Zooey’s voice and the music she makes with M. Ward that sound so close to home.

And now this. I couldn’t pin down one favorite because every song makes me put on a silly smile. I’m not so much of a fan, there are just days when they sound so perfect. Although, yes – I have to admit that since I first heard the album, I couldn’t stop listening to it. Thanks for the link, Francis.

Eversince I moved out of our Internet-ready Fairview home, the Makati condo left me with no choice but to give up my unlimited surfing and 24-7 downloading habits. I gave up on torrents – on catching the latest episodes as soon as they’re uploaded,  surfing for good music, etc.

Since I’m home for the holidays and with nothing much to do,  the long break has finally allowed me to sit down, surf the Internet endlessly, get myself bored and finally catch up with my list of movies to watch. After watching Coco avant Chanel the other day, I moved on to The September Issue. I couldn’t help but get distracted by the movie’s catchy soundtrack.

It reminded me that there are heaps and heaps of good music everywhere, and I feel terrible for missing out on a lot of them. Now, I’m paying the price. Gotta catch up big time!
