Going through my old music archives made me realize how much a lot of the music I have reminds me of specific times in my life. Continue reading “[Day 197] Through the Ages”

[Day 84] Thank you, Kelsey
There is beauty in music. When I pre-order a CD on iTunes, it’s like magic on the morning that it starts to download, when it’s officially out.
Jason Mraz just released his new live CD, Jason Mraz’s Beautiful Mess- Live on Earth. Being an admirer of his music anyways, I knew I would like this CD before even hearing it. But I’ll be honest, when I woke up this morning, I didn’t expect to fall in love. Continue reading “[Day 84] Thank you, Kelsey”
Let’s get in a groove, in a groove!
(Sing today’s blog title to the tune of “let’s get physical!”)
Get over it!
There is a song with that same name by OK Go. Look it up. The music video is incredible. Anyways. Continue reading “Get over it!”
Classical Rock
So I’ve become more and more attracted to music, specifically rock music, that uses historically classical or “big band” instruments in this newer genre. I think putting a grand piano-not a keyboard-, a violin, full orchestras, or trumpets in rock music is really neat.

American Idol 09
As much as it pains my pride to admit it, I am again partaking in a phenomenon popularly described as “American Idol”.I can’t help it. The show is addicting. Even my mom thinks so. Continue reading “American Idol 09”
Where have my bloggers gone??
Monday, I saw no politics blog. Tuesday, I saw no sports blog. Friday, I saw no issues blog. Saturday, I saw no Creepy with Craig. I know for a FACT that all of you were here. What the heck, guys??
WTF
Did I lose all of my bloggers? What’s going on here, guys? I know that several of you were gone for Spring Break, but come on. I know Morgan was home yesterday for politics, I know Cody was home today for sports, I know Craig was here both Saturdays for Creepy with Craig, and I’m mostly sure that Dorenka was here Thursday. But I’m not positive about that last one so yeah.
I’ve burned every bridge I’ve ever built
So I’m sick today. It is Wednesday. I do a music blog on Wednesdays. And I just found something that is awesome, music related, and has no mention of Jason Mraz. Do you see where I’m going? Continue reading “I’ve burned every bridge I’ve ever built”
Grammy THIS, Coldplay
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m still smarting over the Grammys. Jason Mraz was nominated for three awards and walked away with 0. “I’m Yours” should have gotten song of the year, NOT “Viva La Vida”. It’s an ok song, yeah, but it’s not anywhere near Jason’s musical masterpiece. This development in his fantastic career is troubling. Stupid Coldplay. I’m slightly less upset about John Mayer beating him out for “Best Male Pop Vocals” with “Say”, but still. Jason’s voice was better, although I’m glad that if anyone won, it was John. (I love how I refer to them by their first names, like we’re buds) (On the other hand, Jason and I are going to get married some day, so it’s ok)
Highlights:
Record of the Year: Robert Plant and Alison Kraus: Please Read the Letter
Best New Artist: Adele
Best Rock Album: Coldplay, Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends
Song of the Year: Coldplay, Viva La Vida (Hate is pouring from my soul)
Best Pop Vocal Performance (Female): Adele, Chasing Pavements
Best Pop Vocal Performance (Male): John Mayer, Say
Best Rock/Pop Performance by Duo/Group with Vocals: Coldplay, Viva La Vida
Best Pop Collaboration: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Rich Woman
Album of the Year: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss: Raising Sand
And now, for the amazingness of Jason… for whom I screamed every time the camera showed him. I thought he was still on tour and he wasn’t going to make it. Although he didn’t perform, he was there! My mom thought I was crazy…
EDIT: John Mayer is a good guy.
