The gift that keeps on giving

A classic. Kind of brings a tear to my eye…

Who ya callin’ granola?

I looooooove granola. Yes, even the high-fat, bad for you, devil-worshipping granola that you eat with yogurt. Ergo, I thought I’d make some of my own this weekend with the girls and find a healthier way to enjoy it. I found a great blog with a granola recipe and story at Slashfood, […]

Good $&@#*@ what were they thinking? Worst lyrics in 70s music (and there were many)

SO hard to choose but MacArthur Park sung by Donna Summer has whipped the competition by making the world do a WTF double-take at her song choice.  Sing it with me now:
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
In love’s hot, […]

Danceoff: David Bowie vs. Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World

No comparison here. Though I miss Kurt and love what Dave’s done after Nirvana (note to Dave: No, I’m not a stalker, just a…fan. CALL ME), my heart belongs to Bowie. I must ruffle that hair for myself. grrrrowl.
You tell me, Bowie or Nirvana? Who’s got the chops this week?

Here’s my Top Five list of awesome hippie wedding songs:

So Happy Together by the […]

Video: Line dancing… Iron Butterfly style

And to end this week on an upnote I had to throw in this bad boy.
As umbongosidboatang stated so eloquently in the comments at Youtube, “So what if they want to line dance ? let them.these are special people .and at least it keeps them off the streets doing their drugs and breeding.”
I can’t top […]

Video: Beatles - Nowhere Man

This pretty sums up my week, besides, it doesn’t take a lot for me to drag out this movie and hum along. How’s everyone else doing?

Favorite Hippie Video week

Some might say that this entire blog is made up of my favorite hippies but they’d be wrong. Well, ok, not that far off but I do try to mix in a bit of things NOT on my iPod just to keep y’all hoppin’. In the spirit of my iPod, however, I declare […]

Hippie Sounds on MySpace

So I’ve been sucked into the vortex of social networking.  I’m not proud of it but it has brought me some awesome bands to expose to the Hippie Sounds world.  If you have a band that will rock the socks right off this hippie chick,  contact me and let’s get you on here.  Gotta love […]

Danceoff: Simon & Garfunkel vs. The Lemonheads - Mrs. Robinson

Ok, I’m a sucker for roughed up versions of classics. Add a little spice, a faster beat and I’m all over it like Bill Clinton on interns. Today’s Danceoff is between S&G and The Lemonheads. You tell me, does the orange fro still do it for you or does the boat ride […]
