Tuesday Tunes- They stole a radio AND my sanity!

Although it FEELS like a Monday, (since Canadians had a long-weekend and yesterday was a holiday,) today is TRULY Tuesday. Which, here at the Nine Peas means it's TUNESday.

I'm so music-denied lately.
When the van got taken into the shop to be fixed the other week, they took the radio apart and then found out that there was more extensive damage than first anticipated. So, they needed to order parts that are STILL not here. In the meantime, they gave the van back to us so we wouldn't have to pay for a rental for three weeks plus.

Except-- they didn't put everything back together, and now I have NO radio or CD player or ANYTHING in the van. Which, for a musically-inclined family like mine, doesn't make a big difference for short trips which are usually spent singing goofy songs at the top of our lungs.

LONG trips, however, are tougher. My three little monkeys are fairly good travellers, and can somewhat entertain themselves well. They start yodeling singing. Or they RAMBLE FOR HOURS!! tell stories. And I have driven back and forth to Calgary more times in the past month than perhaps the entire year of '10 combined! Needless to say, I am music-less on those treks. And, even MORE needless to say, I AM GOING BATTY!! Not an iPod, not a radio... NADA!!!

I have only a few songs to share. I'm kinda sad-- I used to come across a LOT of new, good music. But lately, I just listen to whatever the kids are listening to, or whatever is already on my OWN playlists. Hopefully this week, Will and I will get around to replacing the stolen iPod, so I can run and have my music again. These aren't NEW songs, so you may know them already. Whatever-- newer to me.

• In honour of my endearing children, THIS SONG is kinda sweet. (It Won't Be Like This For Long by Darius Rucker) No... it WON'T be like this for long-- cuz soon the shop should have my music back into the van! ;)
• The benefit of living with teenagers is being introduced to music you don't already know. Like THIS ONE. (Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold)
• Today I stumbled across this song. I am reminded of SO many people in my life. LOVE IT!!! If you listen to NONE of these, at least listen to THIS ONE!! (We All Need Saving by Jon McLaughlin)

And, as usual, feel free to introduce me and the others (via comment) to songs you're liking right now.
