My form may not have been that of an olympian while swimming in the Beijing Water Cube warmup pool, but singing this theme in my head during laps sure made me feel like one.

"Not Over You" Gavin DeGraw
The new single from the upcoming album of one of my all-time favorites! It's looking to be another stellar release. I especially can't wait to hear some acoustic tracks.

"Leaning On The Everlasting Arms" Iris Dement
I never thought Iris Dement would ever be a featured artist on this blog, but this track has served as a strangely soothing lullaby for me the past few nights. I give it a listen as I'm laying in bed, set the alarm for the next day, and drift away.

"Handyman" James Taylor
The radiologist at McCormick Hospital regularly played this song on her computer and it has stuck with me.

"How I Go" Yellowcard
Oh my, a whole week to catch up on!
The volunteers were watching Big Fish the morning of my Thailand departure and this song (inspired by the movie) was going through my mind. I also think more people should know this duet that features Natalie Maines of Dixie Chicks fame.

"Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" B.J. Thomas
The pianist in McCormick's Hospital was playing this song today. Appropriately so, because the rainy season has started early.

"A Biologist's Mother's Day Song" Cadamole
This song and video is truly brilliant. Mom, hopefully using it as a tribute will make up for my not creating it. Thanks again for the mitochondria.

"Babyface" The Elected
Follow the link, then keep surfing the net in a different tab. Why? Because the song will be difficult to enjoy if you're being stared down the whole time you're listening to it.

"If You Come Back" Blue
The pediatrician I'm shadowing played this song in her car while driving me to lunch. I absolutely recognized it, but had never known what it was called or who it was by! Now I can see it becoming a total guilty pleasure.

"Citywide Rodeo" The Weepies
Easily my favorite of all of their songs which I think sometimes gets overshadowed.

"You Always Hurt The Ones You Love" Ryan Gosling
I really wish a full length recording of this song had been made since it's my favorite version I've ever heard. But then again, it's nice being able to picture this simply perfect scene every time I listen to the tune.

"Too Much So Much Very Much" Bird Thongchai
This Thai song with a partially English chorus is hilarious, yet addictive.

I love when a song I had forgotten makes its way back into my life. Not much beats early Jewel.

"So Far Gone" James Blunt
Heard this for the first time while Dr. Pul (like the second syllable in "apple") was driving me to lunch. I like it much much better than "You're Beautiful".

"The Cookout" Anton Sanko
This movie was excellent, and the score captured the emotions beautifully.

"Price Tag" Jessie J
This song is super catchy, which isn't surprising considering it has a chorus that overlaps with another song on the Top 40. Also, as a born cynic, it may not be about the money, money, money, but I'm pretty sure JJ and B.O.B. are getting big ol' paychecks.

How am I only hearing this song now?? Ray's voice on this Gnarls Barkley track is too good to be true.

"Ocean" John Butler Trio
One year ago this blog was born featuring a JBT song. I found it only fitting to celebrate the anniversary with another. Thanks for your interest over the past year and for sticking through my inconsistent posting while I'm on the road! I promise things well get back to normal when I'm home in June.
To more days, and more songs...

Someone in the volunteer house left this movie's DVD menu playing for over an hour. Now this song is all up in my head.

After singing this song to countless friends as they turned 23, it's only fair that I also accept when nobody likes you.

"Where Do I Begin?" The Chemical Brothers
A day of travel. This song, or at least the beginning, always reminds me of airports. I blame the movie Red Eye.

This song has become the anthem of the Egypt revolution. The video's pretty good too.

I'm not sure what MNDR stands for, but I'd like to think it's "meander" or "mandeer".

How did I know about Richard Cheese for so long but was never aware of the more enjoyable Baseballs? Sad times. Thanks to EVDH for showing me the way.

"Los van de Grond" Jeroen van der Boom & Leonie Meijer
The translation sounds pretty funny in English, but the gist is, "I float through the day, I come off the ground, because of you."
