Animal

I am a music geek. As a self-proclaimed lover of all genres, my playlist is vast and deep. Thank goodness for Pandora! I used to love going to concerts, headliners or small acts. If you are familiar with me outside of this here blog, you would not be surprised to learn that I (as any musical teenager) had visions of being famous and being in a band. Alas, my musical career was cut short by a myriad of things - one of them, epilepsy. However, it seems that I have given my son more than just a sodium channel disorder. He LOVES music and loves to dance. We don't get out much to run and play, so our physical therapy is a little dancing and jamming each day while Daddy is at work. DJ Powerhouse doesn't groove as much now that he has a big boy job, and is kind of stuck in the 80's, but Cole and I are bringing him along ;)

Here is a video of Cole jamming (and having a small seizure) to one of his new favorites, Animal by Neon Trees. The boy has some moves! He doesn't show them all off here, but hey - you've got to save some for later, right? I really dig this band. Not only do they have local roots, their drummer, Elaine, is incredible! Valedictorian at BYU and a rock star -oh yeah! Girl Power! Sorry for the poor quality, hope it doesn't give you a headache...Mommy just couldn't help dancing and singing along!

If you have Beiber Fever (my middle sis), here is a mash-up they did of "Stand By Me" and "Baby". Super cool.
