If live in the US, then you're celebrating Thanksgiving unless you're one of those people who doesn't believe in celebrating holidays...Who wouldn't want to celebrate Thanksgiving though? Great food, family reunions, gatherings with friends, and then a day followed by great bargains at department stores and stores et cetera. I love Thanksgiving! So Happy Thanksgiving!

I was thinking of what songs I could post today. Of course, the first song that comes to mind is this one:


But then you need something different too, right? Here's Sigur Ros' "Gobbledigook":


Have a fantastic holiday and if you don't celebrate, just have a jolly good day!

Lately, I've been into music box sounds. You know, the little ringing, chimey sounds? I can't really describe it, but it's similar to what's in this song by Snow Patrol:

Thanks to my friend, Kate, I've become a fan of none other than GERMAN MUSIC! Aren't you excited? International music kills, people. If you haven't given it a listen, you definitely should. You won't be disappointed even if you can't understand it.

This is Xavier Naidoo. He's an amazing mix of awesome. His voice is soulful and wise. He has a very classy appearance to him that makes the audience feel like he has lived through the downs in life. It's perfection what he does. He also sings in English. Check him out, folks!

If you ever get to know me, you'll find that I'm very fond of French music and culture. Despite the fact that my French teacher turned me off to it for a couple of years because she was a [bleeping] racist, I've come out of that phase happier than ever. High school is overrated anyways. Nothing good comes out of it.

Today I'm introducing Fight Aids. It's not really a band, but a gathering of famous singers who all work to bring awareness to the ongoing AIDS problem. I think the accumulation of artists sharing the same goals in bring up a topic that is of great concern is admirable.

Written by the lead singer of the disbanded band, Kyo, here is "L'or de nos vies":

I didn't really like Shakira's first single, "She Wolf", but I can't say the same about her second single "Did It Again".

And plus, her video is HOT! The guy who dances with her is incredible. If you're curious, his name is Daniel 'Cloud' Campos. Believe me, he's steamy. I did some Googling on him and it turns out that he was one of the dancers on Madonna's Confessions Tour. The same dancer that I couldn't get my eyes off of. He really has a way of standing out.

Here's the video, and thanks to Phil who shared it:

We just finished the week of Sesame Street on Google logos, but I have yet to get over that awesomeness. It brought back so many sweet childhood memories. What's great about today though is that I've discovered this video:

One of my favorite singers, Feist, on Sesame Street singing about counting to four:


Love it!

Not, but in the video, some of the dudes playing Sebastien Tellier do look like the cavemen from the Geico commercials. It just enhances everything in my opinion. :)
