Better late than never.

It's November.
It snowed yesterday.
Daily Savings ends on Sunday.
Red cups have made their debut at Starbucks.
The countdown to Country Christmas 2017 is on.
I'm hoarding mini Reese's Cups like it's my job (I wish. Could you imagine??)

These are just a few updates from the last few days that I felt were specifically important for me to share in case you've been living under a rock and didn't realize how close we are to the most wonderful time of the year. Because we're so close.


The First: Jackpot by Nikki Lane

That raspy voice though 👌. I haven't listened to much Nikki Lane in the past, but this song caught my ear earlier this week so I made a note and as it turns out I really like it. Hope you do too!


The Second: Dang If We Didn't by The Cadillac Three

This seems like an appropriate song to lead us into the weekend. Slow and steady but with a strong beat and a chorus that easily gets stuck in your head just like the small world song or that avocado lady. I'm really selling it now, aren't I?


The Third and Final: Kill Your Love by Jess Moskaluke

Weird and storyline-less music video (unless you're new here you know this is true for 40% of the videos I share) but the song is pretty catchy and you can't deny the power of Jess' voice.

Sorry this is rather short and sweet (and late) but I just couldn't keep my eyes open last night and it's honestly a miracle I'm getting this out at all. I'm off to snowy Whistler for the weekend and among other things I'm looking forward to catching up with a close friend I haven't seen in weeks. Hope yours is equally wonderful!

Thanks for listening,
Karla

I Got 99 Problems and CMF Titles Are 96% Of Them.

The other 4% involves contemplating how to live off peanut butter, chocolate, and popcorn without eventually weighing 500lbs. Think on that for me, will you?

In other news, this week has felt like an exceptionally long one... and I have only worked two days. So I suppose that says something.


The First: Record Year by Eric Church

This poor song has been passed up so many times over the past few weeks as others have beat it out for one of these three coveted spots each week. BUT NOW IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE, ERIC! Of course, he's already received a lot of play time on here, including a dedicated week of his own post-concert last year. Not to mention that he's kind of already a big deal. So maybe we'll just play this oversight as me trying to save his ego from expanding any further..? Okay, cool.


The Second: White Lightning by The Cadillac Three

I think more than anything I just really like the simple story this video tells (shocking, I'm aware). Also the crooning at the beginning just makes me happy.


The Third and Final: I Like The Sound Of That by Rascal Flatts

I truly believe that you can never go wrong with Rascal Flatts. They're just a pretty solid go-to when you need some not-at-all-understated twang in your life. This particular song also reminds me of the Aaron Lines song that is suspiciously similar and has an iteration of the same title... so please go listen to that as well. Coincidence? Who knows. All I know is we now have two decent songs.

Cheers to the weekend - hope yours is a great one!

Thanks for listening!
