Rococo Cocoa

I've decided to make my song of the week- actually one song, each week. Whodathunk...

This week's song is care of the company that covers my feet half of the time... Converse. This song was created to mark the 100th anniversary of Converse. More about the song here.

"My Drive Thru" by NERD, Santogold and Julian Casablancas.

I heart Stereolab. They say you either love all of Stereolab, or nothing about them at all, and I have to say I'm one of the people who proudly love everything they come up with. So, on this delicious friday, enjoy my 20th song of the week theme, Stereolab*.

1."The Man with 100 Cells" by Stereolab
2."Excursions into Oh, A-Oh" by Stereolab
3."Space Moth" by Stereolab

(*These are my three favorite songs by them.)

This week's theme is where I'm from by way of my parents... Haiti!
(Each artist on this list is from my home country, Haiti.)

1."Gade Papi" (Look, Boy) by Emeline Michel
2."Black Wave/Bad Vibrations" by Arcade Fire
3."Pa Manyen Fanm Man" (Don't Touch My Hand) by Sweet Micky
4."911" by Wyclef Jean

Today's theme is Independence... tommorow is Freedom Day! Hurray! USA! USA!


1."Think" Aretha Franklin
2."The Star Spangled Banner" Whitney Houston
3."America the Beautiful" Ray Charles with Alicia Keys
4."Freedom" George Michael
5."The National Anthem" Radiohead

Have a happy fourth! Get drunk and watch fireworks!

You gotta love Google Image Search... singer with guitar...

This week's theme is a little self serving... whateva. I'm starting Guitar lessons with my sister and brother (so we can all star in the black remake of The Partridge Family together) and I want to eventually be able to learn some songs that I've been singing along to for a little while. That list is huge, but here are a few choice songs:

1. "White Winter Hymnal" by Fleet Foxes
2. "My Goodbye" by Elizabeth and the Catapult
3. "Butterflyz"(I despise that spelling) by Alicia Keys
4. "I Get a Kick Out of You" sung by Ella Fitzgerald

Till next week!

In light of the recent ruling in California, this week's theme is gay love songs. Featuring an illustrated swash album cover care of yours truly. Enjoy!

1. "I Kissed a Girl" by Jill Sobule (the famous one)
2. "Little Boy" by The Aluminum Group (the breakup one)
3. "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry (the experimental one)
4. "Constant Craving" by K.D. Lang (the coming out one)
5. "I Thought You Were My Boyfriend" by the Magnetic Fields (the one thats so cool cause the guy's voice is so deep and he's talking about another dude one)

So with a few of my friends (who may be reading my blog for the first time-Hey!) I send out a Song of the Week e-mail, with a few songs that share a theme, a word, a type, whatever. I've decided to take this on to my blog thanks to this media player I found. Pretty awesome.

For Newcomers, Song of the Week is something to keep me sane at work. Plus, you get to listen to music without haveing to download anything. Think of it as Rococo Cocoa Radio.

Today's theme is Heat. Yesterday it was 100 degrees in my office. Thank it for my inspiration. Click the little play buttons and a player will magically appear. It's really frackin' nifty.

"Summer in the City" Regina Spektor
"Heat Wave" Martha and the Vandellas
"The Heat" Toni Braxton
"Hot Child in the City" Nick Gilder
"Hot Hot Hot" Buster Poindexter

Do me a favor people. Leave me a comment. I want to gauge how many peeps read my stuffs. I'll keep doing it if no one does, the three people who definitely read it! :)
