THIS BIX CAN SANG: "Big White Room" by Jessie J, in a bathroom.

ON REPEAT: "If" by Destiny's Child

Crowning Moment: At 02:40 Beyonce belts out the line "SNEAKIN' AROUND WIT DEM RAGGEDY HEFFA'S." I love the smoothness of this song. I love the butterscotch retro blacksploitation Foxy Brown shine. And I love me some DC3.

"Promise This" performed live by Adele

ON REPEAT: "Constant Surprises" by Little Dragon

Little Dragon is slowly becoming one of my all time favorite bands. There's a calm and a sureness in their music. But, let me just say- it's ALL ABOUT Yukimi Nogano. She has such a buttery smooth voice and what really makes her a fascinating vocalist is that she has so much power but only gives you hints of it's extent. In this song she cooly lays every word and locks in the sentiment with subtle wails (2:35:00) of sporadic soul. I think aside from the clean nature and cool soul of this song, it's the subject matter that puts me in a good place. The song is all about every occurrence happing because it was absolutely imperative to the progression of a story: "constant surprises comin' my way- some call it coincidence but I like to call it fate."

"The Wrote & The Writ" performed by Laura Marling

Sigh: "Little Fly" by Esperanza Spalding
