Welcome to all the new blog subscribers who have been joining us over here this week! We’re so glad you’re here. 🙂

It’s always a good day when Beck is on tap. Enjoy this earworm of very good music with a very okay-ish video. But fun fact: the bellydancer you see in it for just a quick moment is Ansuya, one of the Bellydance Superstars from about fifteen or so years ago, and she is (or was back then — I don’t really know her now and didn’t know her well then) a fabulously lovely person. If you’re interested in bellydance, you should check out her instructional and performance videos. Good stuff.

You know, every time I hear another Beck song, I think about how much I love so much of his work. It’s such a great mix of mellow and dance, perfect house party music, and quite a few of his songs that were big hits when I was in college hold fun memories for me.

Enjoy this wake-you-up-easy track on a Monday morning when I am, as it turns out, heading into a day full of meetings, because the school year has officially begun. But I promise I’ll be back later this week or next with some fabulous news as soon as I can reasonably share it, so stay tuned.

Until then…
