The great Carole King, who is of course a part of Soundcheck’s Most Influential Women In Music playlist that I am listening to right now.

Spring break is over and we are back to real life. I have a to-do list a mile long and have made almost no progress. Our bags sit, mostly unpacked, in the middle of the kitchen. So instead of unpacking, I give you some links to things I’ve been noticing on the web lately..

My husband forwarded this article on the horrors of sugar to me the other day. Took a while for me to open it and I’m still not sure how I feel about the whole topic, but I would be remiss if I didn’t pass on the info.

The folks at WNYC’s Soundcheck have put together an incredible 12 hour looping playlist of their favorite and most influential women in music. It’s called Women On The Verge and I’m happily listening to it right now. So far they haven’t missed.

I’ve always been a big fan of wallpaper, though I have trouble making the commitment. This comprehensive post on A Beautiful Mess has re-introduced me to the world of this decorative mainstay and started my eyes casting about the apartment searching for an appropriate wall to cover over.

Do you feel like in front of a movie after filling out all of those tax forms (that I’m sure you all handed in already, right?).

And all of these films are available to be streamed even as I type this.

Thank you oh thank you Joanna Goddard for sharing this tip for how to gently teach your child not to interrupt. Although my daughter is a bit older than the kids in this post, I am going to try it with her TODAY!!

I admit to being semi-addicted to those articles/posts that feature an interesting person and a bunch of stuff that they love. But when the venue is the style blog I Want To Be Her and the subject is my favorite jeweler (and super close friend) Jill Platner and the five things she’s particularly into right now, I want to jump into the picture on the screen, listen to the music she recommended while wearing matching jumpsuits and drinking juice made with her Vitamix. As soon as you read the post, you will too.

Leave it to Flavorwire to put together a list of the weirdest vintage musical performances on Saturday Night Live. David Bowie in a skirt, Kate Bush in gold lamé, the obviously drunken Pogues … need I say more?
