I Am Stuck On This Song! I Can't Get Enough Of It!

Definitely The Best Commercial From The Super Bowl!

Amos Lee's New Album "Mission Bell" Is Incredible

It is rare when I buy an album that I can listen to it over and over. Not only has it been the case with Amos Lee's newest record "Mission Bell," but that is all I have listened to for almost two weeks straight. Literally all I have listened to. The feeling of the album is one of melancholy and self-reflection. A few songs have a great positive feel, and I relate to this whole album. My favorite song from the album is definitely "Learned A Lot." I just relate to this song. It feels like it was written for me. This song came out at the perfect time for me, as it is EXACTLY how I feel about a certain someone now. I feel a lot more empowered after hearing this song.

Catching him live on January 28 also added to the incredible power of his songs/songwriting. I was so impressed by his live show, and I cannot wait until he plays anywhere near me again, because I will definitely see him again. His voice is great on his albums, but seeing him live only proves that it is even more effortless than I expected. He doesn't force out his songs. They just flow. His band is so tight and in perfect rhythm, it sounds as if you are listening to an album. I actually hope he comes out with a live cd/dvd. Do not wait to buy this album! It will literally change your life!

This Is My Theme Song Right Now! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

Vegas!!!

On Monday, one of my best friend's was turning 30. We decided that it would be in our best interest to go to Las Vegas for such a momentous occasion. They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... This trip was no exception! Although, I will say this: Las Vegas did not disappoint! Me and Las Vegas have a love/hate relationship. I love going to Vegas, but I HATE the hangovers that come along with it! I needed a good trip like this with two of the greatest friends I have. Good times and great memories... from what I can remember!!!

Amos Lee Live!

I saw Amos Lee last night at the House of Blues in Anaheim. It was incredible! His show was so amazing! His music is so amazing and he sings so effortlessly! It was so soulful and amazing! I have a video of a song on my phone... I'll figure out how to post it soon! If you have a chance, pick up his new album "Mission Bell." So worth it!

2011... So Far.

This has been an interesting month so far. A very close friend of mine from work just got laid off the other day. It was completely corporate's decision, but still, it sucks. He is eligible to be rehired instantly and he says he'll reapply for any open position, but still it sucks. It lowers morale around the store and puts people on edge. I am being moved to a great position in my store which will make me Monday through Friday! I can't wait. I have been working retail for so long, its nice to finally land a Mon-Fri gig! As for my social life, its fairly non-existent, although my softball and baseball seasons start soon! I can't wait to be out playing again! I have been playing and writing a lot of new music, as well. I am going to start a new musical project with some musician buddies I have. We are going to get together this weekend to begin recording and writing. We all play such different styles of music, so I think we can fuse together to make some amazing tunes! We'll see!!!
