Your hands were on my hips, your name is on my lips

  Imma let y'all rave all you want about Cameron Diaz or Kate Upton, but Lana Del Ray had the sexiest video of all time. There is nothing this woman can't do that doesn't make you feel like you're in a slow motion Abercrombie ad when you listen to her. Everyone had their Team N'SYNC panties in a bunch yesterday since JT dropped his first album in seven years. Yes, I too listened to the 20/20 Experience a mere three times through, but the real gem yesterday was Lana's latest single Burning Desire. It's the perfect humid summer sultry song. Get it while its' hot y'all so punny.

Lana Del Rey – Burning Desire

Let the blue skies go to your head

   It's like every K-5 hallway art display says, March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. And thank the good lord this month is on the way out. That means Maroon 5 concert next weekend, Easter and GAME OF THRONES the weekend after that, Lent is over SONIC ZAXBYS FIREHOUSE TACO BELL CHIPOTLE, and 65 degrees and up baby. The drive home Friday was glorious not only because it was Friday but because I did it with Ray Bans on and windows down. So this week's 10 Things are all about cruising with your windows on automatic roll down. And lucky you, I even put together a Spotify playlist with all these melodies on it, linked at the bottom of the page. Now turn it up!

   So I missed Wordy Wednesday by a mile was working till 2pm then driving across to the land of Rocky Top and no longer orange pants (RIP Dooley and your hot accent) and yeah, missed Tunes Thursday too was speaking on the Young Alum Panel in ADV 490 and I have no idea what clever thing I could have come up to call a Friday or Saturday post so I'm here in my unwashed Steeler shirt, uggs, and norts to present you with Songbird Sunday. In previous Wordy Wednesday posts I shared the scandy sound of Lana Del Rey, well she's back and I am once again obsessed. Last night during that horrible game I was flipping through this week's People and I 100% agree with their Sexiest Man Alive choice and in their book/music pick section was Lana Del Rey's Paradise EP...flash forward 5 minutes to me blasting the below track in the shower. There are 8 tracks on the EP or you can download Born to Die- Paradise Edition. I now have Spotify playlists of all three. Don't let the first line throw you off, it's a go to track. And because I fell off the blogging wagon so bad it left a bruise last week I'll give you another of my guilty pleasures for an added bonus. This past week's Gossip Girl's soundtrack was all but personally DJ'd by Frank Ocean himself and this little gem is the newest addition to my "Starred" Spotify playlist. And don't worry while I'm bumping to these jams in the shower I will also be brainstorming a very special Top 10 for Tuesday. But for now it's time to drink a few beers, swear at the TV, and tweet Ryan Clark even though he's on the field. Tonight's menu: rat bird. #blackandyellow.
