I Put A Hex On You

Wow.  Does Candye Kane have a voice!  And her band backs her up in smooth and beautiful ways.  I have never heard of her before my friend, Misty, shot this song my way for the experiment.  Forget the words for a moment, especially if they get a rise out of you, and listen to Kane's voice and Laura Chavez's guitar playing.  A-MAZING.  In today's pop and hip-hop saturated culture this voice and this music is refreshing.  It's earthy, real, and unique.  To really read a review of the band from someone who knows way more than I ever will about music and such, click here.  It's a great review of the album Kane released in 2009. 
Kane is in the Blues genre and rightfully so.  I love her voice and her style.  And her band can play.  As a group they go the range.  They are impressive to say the least. 
I'm not going to focus on the lyrics of today's song.  They are funny but cause much controversy and I don't feel like going there today.  :)  But if any of you wonder, "does Beth believe in hexes?!?"  The answer is, "nope."  Okay so there's as much as I'm gonna say today about it!  :) 
Have a great day!

BONUS SONG! Kane has a great sense of humor about herself, check out Great Big Woman

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
