birthdays are meant for celebrating

Last week was my birthday.  I'm one of those people that believes in buying presents for oneself, because, you know... it's your birthday.  My present to myself this year was pretty spendy, but totally worth it. I got my hair permed and cut and a fancy pants salon in LA.  My sister's friend is an amazing hairstylist and made my hair look awesome. Yay for natural looking curls!  Other than that, I got an awesome brunch with the husband, awesome gifts, and a concert to tune-yards (for next week).  The brunch we just went to was at Lawrence, an amazingly styled restaurant in Montreal.  I sure hope I get to go there again before I move in a few weeks.

I will leave you now with a music video from tune-yards.  I can't wait to see this in concert!!!

A little Valentine's music for everyone. 

fun music video

I'll be one to admit that even though I absolutely love Zooey Deschanel's incredible voice, I can't say I'm the biggest fan of her music.  I honestly wish that M.Ward would put more of his song-writing skills into action.  However... It's always fun to watch their music videos, with their usual fun dance moves.  This particularly new video has some great 60s set design!  I'm a fan.

So here is the new music video for She & Him.  Now really, tell me what you think.  What I think?  I think the best parts were M. Ward reading a magazine in the library, and then on the phone in the hall.
