What's rockin', Alexa? (part 3)

Alexa saw Christopher's post and insisted that she didn't only like wok n' woll. For Alexa, wok n' woll is narrowly defined as music that you play very loud and jump around a lot while it's playing. So today, we searched for a song that Alexa liked that was 'same Kuya.'

As soon as 'Ho Hey,' by Denver's own Lumineers came on, we had a winner. While I was in Denver and the kids still lived in the Philippines, the song always made me heartsick from missing them; it's nice to enjoy it in better circumstances. When we got home from our drive and looked for the video, Alexa decided that we needed to get hats and confetti and go to a show like the one in the video. I hope that I get invited when she finally pulls it off.

The first video is the original by the Lumineers, followed by a cover of 'Ho Hey' by the Overtones that we found during our hunt. The Overtones are a new discovery for me; I think that we may have found Christopher's next entry while we watched some of their other videos.

Before all of that, a photo of my two favorite people, taken on our spacious outdoor area in Denver.

What's rockin', Alexa? (part 2)

Last weekend, Kuya, Dad, and I drove to the store to buy a charger for our tablets. On the way there we were going to rock out, but Dad kept playing songs that weren't my favorite. He tried many, many songs, and I didn't like them all. Then, finally, the Foo Fighters came on with my favorite songs. "Come Alive" by my most-favorite band is the one that I made him play over and over very loud.

Dad told me that he played Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace all of the time when I was getting ready to be born, and that this song still reminds him of me. It should remind him of me since it is my favorite song this week and favorite band ever!

First is a photo of my great new sunglasses and my favorite drink--a starbucks drink that I stole from my mom.

What's rockin', Alexa?

Alexa's favorite song to rock out to this week was 'End Over End' by the Foo Fighters. She requested it over and over again on a recent trip to pick up Chinese food, which she refused to eat. At least Lex got to rock out. Coming in a close second place was 'Runnin' with the Devil' by Van Halen. We're just about ready to put the band together.
