Multimedia Invasion

So, I've come to the conclusion that the only way I'm going to swing this blog thing while adjusting to my first ever full time job is to throw a little multimedia enjoyment your way... which the blog needed more of anyway. Pizzaz and all.

I'm doing a challenge with one of my trusty roomies- a picture a day, for at least the whole summer. I won't inflict all of them, but I'm going to throw some favourites (tm Canada) on here when I can.

Also, this same darling girl and I are bringing back the mixtape, in a big way. This week's theme: "To Stop Us From Destroying Property Too": the Fierce and Empowered Ladies Playlist. I'm responsible for the Fierce Country Ladies side, Side A, because they clearly often write amazingly fierce songs. Lucinda Williams is cleaning up the category so far. Any suggestions? As many are willing to tell you, my taste is either equal-opportunity or abysmal, so I will not judge you for any ideas! (Despite expectations)

This is designed to be played real loud at the greatest Girls' Night Out Ever, belted out at the bar, toasted to, mulled over, then belted out again on the streetcorner at 3am:

1. Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood
2. Should’ve Said No - Taylor Swift
3. Family Tree - Loretta Lynn
4. It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels - Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton
5. Joy - Lucinda Williams
6. Picture to Burn - Taylor Swift
7. That Don’t Impress Me Much – Shania Twain
8. Come On - Lucinda Williams
9. Pass You By - Gillian Welch
10. Look For Me (I’ll Be Around) - Neko Case
11. Scattered Leaves - The Be Good Tanyas
12. This One’s For The Girls - Martina McBride
13. 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
14. Jackson - June Carter
15. Redneck Woman - Gretchen Wilson

You all clearly want to be me, and have musical taste like this. To confirm some, I even Googled "Empowering Feminist Songs".

You can find the completed non-country half (by my lovely companion), here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S1HKILQF . Download and enjoy! Be fierce, my lovelies.
