The Monday Morning Mix-Up: The Wednesday Evening Edition

Sorry for the delay everybody, construction has been hectic on the schedule...but it is almost over! We are confident that everything should be done by Friday (minus the Shower Door, only because every Home Depot in Dade County is out of stock!)

Anyways, here it is, The Wednesday Evening Edition of the Monday Morning Mix-Up:

• LeAnn Rimes - The Trouble With Good-Bye: A good LeAnn song, only it was during her "pop" phase. A fun upbeat song though!
  
• Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All: A very pretty song (sung much better by Alison Krauss) but this version is also quite nice! It was featured in the movie Notting Hill!
  
• Jill Scott - Exclusively: What a fun song and a great voice! One soulful up and coming!
  
• Gloria Estefan - Reach: Ehhh....so iTunes has it's moments of falter. I love Gloria...I do not love this song. In fact, the only reason I tolerate it is that it reminds me of the 96 Olympics, and I just love the Olympics!
  
• David Bowie - Changes: Ahh! A much better choice! A great Bowie classic....for all times!
  
• Queen Latifah - I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl: Again the Queen has done it! From her second CD of standards, this is just a gorgeous voice singing a cute song!
  
• Third Eye Blind - Jumper: A great 90's rock song that is sad when you listen to the lyrics, but just a fun song.
  
• Eric Clapton - Sunshine Of Your Love: A classic guitar inro! One of those songs you hear and instantly love!
  
• The Beatles - Lady Madonna: A classic! And just in time for the bra's 100 birthday! (Had to get some Madonna reference in there)
  
• Kelly Clarkson - My Grown Up Christmas List: Possibly one of my all time favorite contemporary Christmas songs. It just seems to go so well with the way of the world and how everything around seems to be in constant disaray!

Anyways, thats the list! Please feel free to comment, etc.!

The Monday Morning Mix-Up: The Ha Ha Ha Edition

Well welcome to the Scribbler's Nook for this very festive and fun edition of the Monday Morning Mix-Up! I recently read an article that Santa, when he is in Australia can no longer use the phrase "Ho, Ho, Ho" for risk that he might offend someone. Instead, he is to say "Ha, Ha, Ha!" So for the big man in red and white, I present the Ha, Ha, Ha Edition!

• Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Nights in Blue : It's Joe Cocker meets New Orleans blues and Ray Charles soul.
• LeAnn Rimes - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas : A great voice who has only improved with age singing a classic song.
• Kelly Clarkson - Oh Holy Night : One of the must's for any Christmas CD, and sung a capella with such a powerful voice
• Brian Setzer Orchestra - Dig That Crazy Santa Claus : A fun song to listen to, dance to, whatever you please
• Chris Botti - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town : Great trumpeteer and a great rendition of this classic!
• Bette Midler & Johnny Mathis - Winter Wonderland : A fun version of this song that is sassy, brassy and everything else that Bette is!
• Jo Dee Messina - A Joyful Noise : I'm usually not a fan of "new Christmas" songs that artists create, but this song is just magical, and Jo Dee's voice just soars on this song!
• Mariah Carey - Joy To The World : One of those definitive Christmas albums is Mariah's and this song is just fantastic!
• Spice Girls - Christmas Wrapping : I know it sounds odd to have the Spice Girls doing a Christmas Song, but it is actually a cover of an older song, but very catchy!
• Jewel - Silent Night : A very nice and subtle yet folksy cover of another perennial favorite.

Well that is it for this "Ha, Ha, Ha Edition." Look for many more Christmas themed lists over the holidays!
