Songs For A Vasectomy

Take Two

by: Consuelo Bernardi

So, apparently March is the month for vasectomies.

Really. I've heard more about vasectomies in the last few weeks than I have all year. With that said, I've had friends, YMC readers, and Twitter followers ask me about the Songs for A Vasectomy playlist I did two years ago.

So, here's a re-post of that blog I did on June 10, 2010. Because every event in life needs a playlist. Power to the bag of frozen peas.

Gavin DeGraw

Sweeter, He Is

by: Consuelo Bernardi

So, I'm still not even remotely tired of Gavin DeGraw's "Not Over You" single yet (really, if you haven't heard it, go forth and download from iTunes immediately!), but I must say that I have become completely obsessed with his new single, "Sweeter."

So damn sexy sounding. I've had it on repeat for the last, oh let's see, three hours. True story.

Lyrically Speaking

The Power of Song Lyrics

by: Consuelo Bernardi

Maybe it’s because the day of required love...AKA Valentine’s Day is just around the corner (ahem tomorrow—considered yourself warned) but over the course of the weekend I had a few conversations about song lyrics and the ones that stand out and really get to your inner core.

The ones that repeat over and over in your head and give you shivers each and every time you hear them.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!

Consuelo Bernardi is a 30-something mummy of two. She can't play an instrument or sing a tune in key but is still obsessed with music. After a five year hiatus from the radio business she's back on the air doing weekends on Majic 100, Today's Soft Rock in Ottawa.

Still she always found the time to listen to music and make it a huge part of her life. She has more CDs than she cares to count and her monthly downloading bill for her iPod? Don’t even go there. Music truly is food for her soul. Plus secretly she’s always wanted to be a wannabe rock star...a girl can dream.

So take a minute from your day and crank up the volume. Motherhood isn't always pretty but at least your music will be hot.
