Checking In: Maddie Cary

This year, I have had the opportunity to introduce you all to many of my friends. They are all such talented, caring, and generous people and I never forget how near and dear they are to my heart and life. Since they never stop impressing me with all that they do, I am going to keep tallies on them even after I graduate to let you all know how they are doing as well.

My friend Maddie Cary wrote a post for Yow Yow! pretty early on and if you can remember her, she’s the one with the powerful voice. Last year, she created her girl group – Maddie and the Cary Oh-Keys and now they’re back and bigger than ever.

Here is their cover of Kimbra’s “Settle Down.” Proud of you, girl!

Song of the Day

Kimbra – Good Intent

I love WordPress. I love Spotify. My two favorite things in the world have just merged y’all and it is kind of blowing my mind! If you have stuck around with Yow Yow for a couple of years now, you know that I have struggled in the past with choosing an outlet to highlight my Song of the Day’s. I started out with some really weird looking YouTube videos that were a mix of music videos and ones that were made by fans. Then I moved onto SoundCloud because it had a much sleeker design and it was easy to use. Today, we’re trying out this new Spotify x WordPress merge. Literally, my life – or my Song of the Day selections could not be made any easier. All I have to do is go into my Spotify library, right click the song, copy the URL and paste it here.

I like this method a lot, but I wanna know what you guys think. Which format do you prefer to see Song of the Days in?

Bonus: Music Performance of the Evening

Every day, at least one thing becomes viral. While most days involve something that came from Lana Del Rey’s mouth, today it did not. Today, many people discovered the voice of Belgian-Australian musician Wouter De Backer of Gotye who performed on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Their performance of “Somebody That I Used To Know” was so good, it sent chills up my spine. Together, Gotye and a special appearance by Kimbra is all anyone is talking about. Ugh swooning over the both of them!
