Tuning Out the Tube

The Mister and I have recently started a new thing, partly in rebellion to the high cost of entertainment, partly so our brains don't turn to mush. We've traded watching TV for listening to music. So far it has been a pretty seamless switch.

Don't get us wrong here, we like TV almost as much as the next person, and we're not going hippy granola on everyone-trust me, you wont find me living in a 500 ft square box living out in the middle of nowhere, gathering berries and boiling nuts in a bark dish, no sir, not this chick-so we still watch a few shows.

{eco house...there is no place for my shoes in there}

As previously mentioned we both love love love BONES, and now we both love watching Biggest Loser while eating cake and doing crunches (simultaneously...try it...it's what I like to call "the ultimate indulgence"). We just find TV a bit annoying.

Hence, the decision to tune our ears to music and give our eyes a rest. There's a lot more dancing in the kitchen, humming along, belting out, and general goodwill in our household, despite the occasional banter about what song to listen to next.

Here's the trouble: we haven't bought any new music in like a year...or more! I feel so un-hip and out of the loop now. We both love our old favorites, so we're not desperate or anything, but maybe if you have a few suggestions you could help bring us into this musical decade. Leave me comment about what you're jammin' out to now (feel free to share multiples).

And anyone can comment-no need to have a blog or a google account.

Help a sista out :)

P.S.- speaking of old songs, all this chatter got me wondering about if CMS still plays the Vitamin C, "Graduation Song" at the end of every school year....

Good things die hard I hope.
