See Fernando

This new Jenny Lewis video is kick ass! It co-stars Michael Runion, who Jeff and I met at the Jenny Lewis concert last fall in Wilmington, DE. It was an amazing concert. Really intimate and fun!

You can see the video here or at www.nylonmag.com

Writer's Block

I have writer's block and I am trying to get through it. I want to tell you guys all about my Baltimore trip--but I'm having trouble articulating what happened--anyway--as I figure this out. I want to share two videos with everyone. They're KICK ASS songs as well as KICK ASS videos! 

I love this Skeleton Boy song and video!!



Devo's new song!



These songs are motivating me to relax and let my creativity flow instead of forcing something that won't happen under pressure to happen. I will write about Baltimore--I will...I just need to find how.

I LOVE THIS NEW SONG (new to me at least)

SEXY.

My Latest Addiction

I am addicted to ABBA. I admit it. I don't plan on curing it.
They are so happy and my life is now "as good as an ABBA song." to quote Muriel's Wedding.
I started with gateway ABBA... you know Dancing Queen, Take a Chance On Me, Mamma Mia! Then I moved on harder stuff like Knowing Me, Knowing You, Voulez-vous, Chiquitita. Now things are becoming overwhelmingly happy, hippie, sparkley and Swedish. I have moved on to buying records and listening to Love Isn't Easy. Here are some videos to prove my point.

Tien Age Music

Let's talk about Tien-- Tien Nguyen that is.

Tien is a friend of my sister Erin and a guy who likes to give out hugs to yours truly; he is also a talented musician.
Tien grew up here in the land of pleasant living (aka the Eastern Shore) and moved on to go to college at USC. There he worked on his music and has made a name for himself. He does shows out west as well as back here in Easton. He has a show March 20th at the NightCat in Easton (tickets available here: annapolistickets.com ).
Tien has done a great job of exposing himself... wait, that sounds dirty... no I'll keep it. He's all over the internet! His music is on iTunes, he has a CD, a myspace page, a website and is on facebook and youtube.

His website is pretty cool and fancy.

It is at www.tien-music.com and includes links to his show schedule, photos, music, iTunes and various other things going on with Tien's scene.

Tien's myspace page (www.myspace.com/tienmusic) gives you the opportunity to listen to his music which I would say is along the lines of John Mayer, Stevie Wonder (light) and Paul Simon (pre-Africa visits). Very clean recordings and the lyrics are well thought out and the music well plotted.

Tien also has a fan page on Facebook. This is the most interactive of his pages and has the most information (or at least the most up-to-date info). You can find his fan page HERE.

Don't forget to also take a look at his band Dayplayer and his youtube.com pages.

I won't be able to attend his next show, but if you're in the area, you should definitely go and comment here or on any of his pages about your experience.
Break a leg Tien! You're going places man...hope this helps your journey!

:)

Shania Rumor

There's a rumor going around that Shania Twain is going to make an appearance at the CMA's. I hope to God she does.

I am a die hard Shania Twain fan. Many people who have lived around me for the past 15 years know this. My sister... my poor poor sister has lived through the thickest of the storm. She witnessed my fanaticism at its grandest. To her, I dedicate tonight.


To Carol I dedicate this... suck it. Sike, Shannay nay fwain.

Anyway, I am sitting here through this show and I can't stand it. The other stuff that these people sing about is SO cliche and freaking twangy, not to mention flat out annoying.

This guy who was just on sang about Chevrolets and the flag and shit... it was so typical.

I just hope Shania makes it worth it. It's also rumored that she is coming up with new music! So my closetted (since 2004) Shania fanaticism may make a comeback.
New friends hold on to your hats...
old friends and family... I once again apologize. :)
