As you probably know by now, I have a pretty wide variety of songs on my iPod. I listen to anything and everything. So when the opportunity to review the new CD from Rebecca St. James came along, I quickly said “yes”. Released on Tuesday, April 5th, “I Will Praise You” is Rebecca’s first studio project since 2005. I’ve always enjoyed Rebecca’s voice and music and this new CD doesn’t [...]
UPDATE!!! This guitar is no longer for sale. I found a home for my other Takamine and this one is no longer on the market. Good luck in your search. I don’t usually use my blog to “peddle my wares” but I thought this was worth sharing with the most broad audience possible. There’s a VERY long and unbelievable story behind the “why” I’m selling this guitar, but I’ll [...]
How do you judge, review and come to the conclusion that a CD is “good”? I’m often guilty of rushing to a judgement when hearing a CD for the first few times to say that it was “alright”. Yet the more I hear it the more I love it. Some of my favorite CD’s of all time were actually originally thought to be just “alright”. Then there are those times [...]
I was discussing my love of the soon-to-be released FM Static CD “My Brain Says Stop But My Heart Says GO!” with my dear friend Lori yesterday. She was kind enough to arrange an interview with FM Static and Thousand Foot Krutch Frontman Trevor McNevan. For those not familiar with FM Static (yet), 2 of the members of the band are also members of Thousand Foot Krutch (my absolutely favorite [...]
It’s been well documented here, but “the boy” and I love us some Thousand Foot Krutch. So when a few of the guys from TFK stepped on a side project for a band called “FM Static“, it should be no surprise that I’m following along. Coming April 5th will be the new CD from FM Static called “My Brain Says Stop, But My Heart Says Go”. Thanks to my friend Lori, [...]
A few weeks ago I received an advance copy of “Anthem Song” by Aaron Gillespe to review. At first I was unsure of who Aaron Gillespe was, then I read the press release and listened to the CD. Within a few moments I quickly realized that I was not only familiar with the song “We Were Made For You“, but the bands that Aaron had been a part of in [...]
This is sure to get hate mail…but here goes… Do you pray for celebrities? It’s no secret that I am a fan of P!nk (the singer not the color). Before you think it’s some weird obsession thing, I’m not that kind of fan of hers. As an artist, as a lyricist, I appreciate her. She is raw, obscene, dark and often off-color. One thing is for sure…she’s honest. In a [...]
When your day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on Don’t let yourself go, ’cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it’s time to sing along When your day is night alone, If you feel like letting go, If you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang [...]
