Fitz and the Tantrums – “6 AM”

June 3, 2014 by Nick No Comments

An earworm is a snippet of a song that gets stuck in your head and repeats over and over.  Over 90 percent of people suffer from this debilitating condition at least once a week.  Studies have shown that one possible cause is our mind’s being in a “low attention state”, which explains why I always get an earworm when I’m walking Mia in the morning.  I’ll be sharing these Morning Earworms with you every morning (that I remember to) because misery loves company.  Enjoy!

Fitz and the Tantrums are a neo soul band from Los Angeles who’s really jumped into the spotlight the last couple years.  The front duo of Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs have a great chemistry, especially on stage.  Nikki and I went to see them recently at Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh.  They played “6 AM” from their recent sophomore album More Than Just a Dream. It’s not my favorite song of theirs –  that would be “MoneyGrabber” – but “6 AM” is one of those songs that anybody who has experienced heartbreak can identify with, without it being totally depressing.

Triangles and Chambray Wedges

Triangles and Chambray Wedges | NCsquared Life

I got this shirt on sale for $9 and it’s only purpose was for my Pitch Perfect Halloween costume (I was a Barden Bella) because it was too big for daily wear. But I liked it enough that I took it to the tailor. It can be worn in many different ways so I’m glad I spent the extra money to have it taken in. I love the way it looks tied in the front.

The shorts remind me of one those puzzles that ask how many triangles you can count. There seem to be a lot… not that I’ve tried counting. And chambray wedges? I don’t think it gets any better than that!

Old Navy was trying to hide these wedges from me on a high shelf but I made Nick fish around until he found my size. They can’t hide pretty things from me that easily!
