Valerie by Steve Winwood

Reposted for the umpteenth time. Currently on the radio. Morning happiness ensues.

Good morning.

“Valerie” by Ra Ra Riot ft. Delicate Steve

Originally by Steve Winwood 

Ra Ra Riot and Delicate Steve teamed-up on Record Store Day to give us my favorite Winwood tune of all-time.

Call on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Call On Me by Eric Prydz

I’m not allowed to workout today. My masseuse demanded that I try resting for a change. Apparently working out 6-7 days a week can take its toll. Bah.

So instead I’ll just watch this video. Again. And again. And again.

perpetua:

Steve Winwood
“Valerie”
Live in London, 1988

This song is so refreshing, it’s like peppermint in audio. That main synth hook is so classic — perky and sparkly and so so satisfying. Be careful: If you listen to this once, it will rattle about in your mind for days on end.

All true. As Ruz (my cubicle neighbor) can attest to, I think I sang this song everyday for an entire week last summer.

“Call On Me” by Eric Prydz

This song has been hopelessly stuck in my head for about a week or two now (thank you, Erin). However, I’m going to be shooting some behind-the-scenes pics for a workout video next week, so here’s hoping that it’s EXACTLY like this.
