New Music Find


Hey Friends. I came across this Australian brother/sister group, Angus and Julia Stone on a gossip blog today then went to their MySpace page to check them out. I love MySpace for this reason. I love how easy it has become to share your talents with the world. This is how it should be. I think we would all be surprised to learn how many talents were discovered from their MySpace pages. I can spend hours/days on MySpace searching out new music. It’s not a waste of time; it’s a passion because music just makes life better.

They have nine songs on their MySpace music player with a considerable amount of views. After listening to the full gamut I think Paper Aeroplane and Big Jet Plane are my favorites so far. There is an ethereal charm to some of the lyrics that bring back nostalgic thoughts of your youthful days while others help you ponder the soon to be great moments of your future. It's one of those musical bridges from what has been to what is to become.

Julia and Angus share lyrical responsibility making it feel like you are listening to two different groups. It’s a very unique approach making you less likely to become bored by song 5. I seem to favor the songs sung by Angus but that’s probably because I prefer male singers. Julia has a folk sound while Angus is more alternative. It would be pretty amazing to do something like this with a sibling. My brother and I were at someone’s house once who had a quasi studio so we had a little fun and took a ‘staged’ photo of him playing the guitar in the background and me singing into the mic with my eyes closed and one hand over one ear as if I was really focusing on pitch. We both have that picture framed in our house. It’s a bit of a dream captured in a picture. Who cares if it’s not real? At least we had fun.

Angus and Julia are currently on tour promoting their sophomore album Down The Way.

I hope you enjoy the new find.

Hallelujah Indeed

I have been so out of touch lately. I apologize. I miss my blogging. As you know, one of my favorite things to do is think. Think, think, think. So, while I have been so busy, I have been stockpiling blog posts. I have so many movie reviews to share with you and new artist to pimp out. I’m excited. In the midst of the chaos which sometimes is known as ‘my life’, I take refuge in movies and music. Music helps me think and movies help me forget. I become equally lost in both worlds, a place where the lines of reality and reverie are lost. But for today, we’re starting with this. Thank God, Heaven’s Above, Hallelujah Indeed. Did you watch the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies on Friday? Here are my top three moments. K.D. Lang, K.D. Lang and K.D. Lang. When the camera focused in on the barefoot songstress dressed in white cocooned by the orange glow of simulated candles (plastic flashlights made to look like candles) held by the audience and the first note broke through the silence,

One Year No Radio

Image
This week I’m celebrating my one year anniversary living without music radio. That’s right…I said celebrating. Don’t get me wrong, I still listen to music, and plenty of it…but since I removed the radio from my daily routine I am no longer bombarded with contests, terribly annoying advertisements, songs on far too high of a rotation or over the top excessive radio personalities. I do listen to the news radio station but only to receive traffic updates and road reports. Other than that…my life has been freed from it. I spend a lot of time in my car. A LOT. This is because I live in the burbs and have no choice but to commute. Honestly, I don’t mind the commute. It’s my ‘me’ time in the day. It’s the time when I do my best thinking. Good thinking requires music. Because music has the ability to make you think deeper. I love deep thinking. It’s cathartic. There was a time when the radio was very much needed. When the internet didn't exist. When the only way you could hear a new song w

Too Desperate?

Image
I have been stewing over this for a few days now…not judging…just making observations and trying to figure it all out and I’ve come to this conclusion. Ashley Greene hooks up with a lot of people and she doesn’t seem to care. In fact, I think she wants the world to see. She wants the reassurance that she’s hot and that other hot people want to be with her. If you don’t know who I’m talking about then next time you are walking by a magazine stand take a look at this month’s Maxim cover…she’s on the front…and posing hard. She’s hungry and she wants the fame bad. But it’s coming off as desperate in all areas. We already have a Megan Fox in this world and she’s doing great on her own. Back in April, Ashley was photographed with Ian Somerhalder..don’t know who he is? He played Boon on Lost and he now plays Damon on the Vampire Diaries. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/04/15/ashley-greene-ian-somerhalder-couple/ What’s the connection here? Hmmm, let’s see. We both play vampires so let’s ho
