Brandy is just "Human",

Brandy is such a beautiful and personal artist. I have always felt connected to her heart through her raspy and smoky voice. She has such ambiance that she commands with every note. Ever since "Have You Ever" she has been a MUST in my life. I am never not in the mood to listen to one of her songs.

Brandy has been through a whole lot of happenings this past few years and has really found a way for her positivity to shine through.

Her album "Human" reigns so strongly in my CD collection. Although the album didn't do as well as it should have, Brandy makes a point to write her own songs. She really demands nothing less than perfection from herself. It's made clear by her very alert and attentive personality when in the public eye. She never ceased to have a smile on her face, or to have a sweet, positive disposition.

My uncle JustArend said it true when he called "Every song on the album radio single material".

Alexz Johnson Never Ceases to Amaze...

Alexz Johnson has always had a fire about her. No matter the circumstance she never ceases to amaze her fans with her witty, beautiful, and heartfelt songs. "Skipping Stone" was debuted at her performance at The Drake on June 27th of 2011. It was a brand new song for her fans, and I have to say, as a fan of 10 years, it blew me away, as I knew it would. The song is somewhat slow, a ballad, if you will, but yet angry, and bittersweet as well. "Skipping Stone"as all of Alexz's songs have in the past, and forgive my biased-ness, struck my heart like an arrow. Something about her writing, and her singing ALWAYS seems to hit home in my LIFE. Like, my daily relationships, Everything. Anyway, getting back, THIS IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST of ALL TIME. I will never stop loving her heart.

I give you, listeners, ALEXZ JOHNSON, "SKIPPING STONES".

Blog # 18 Lindsay Lohan is a Woman...

First off, I have ALWAYS been a LINDSAY fan. I've had my share of partying, and I know what it's like to have my share of problems. The point is, focusing on Lindsay's art. Her career, not her personal life. I can't help wondering how much more stars would be adored like in the old days, without all these paparazzi scum-bag following folks around. I mean shit, you can't make a million dollars with a camera being snapped. I guess thats how that go though huh?

Linsday is a "Household Name". You've known her since you were young, watching her on The Parent Trap, etc. She got famous because of how talented her acting is. Soon though the public and fans would learn that Lindsay has music in her soul. She is a virtuous artist with many songs, whether leaked online, or released, displaying many different genre of music. Lindsay is a star that flickers. The light is somber... questioning...

Check out her really gangsta song "Walka Not A Talka" she sings with Snoop!

Since the release of her last two albums, Lindsay recorded a third album entitled "Spirit in the Dark" in 2010. However it, ofcourse, was shelved. You can read about it on her Wiki page.

This one's for LINDSAY. Hang in there girl.

Blog #17 Fefe Dobson brings me "Joy" for Christmas!

I don't know if you've noticed, but this Holiday season, I feel like I've seen the word "Joy" just about everywhere. McDonalds is throwing out copywritten quoted 'sayings' all over the place. Starbucks even had Tazo name a tea after the word. It's a mixture of oolong, green, and orange pekoe teas, it's one of my favorite blends from Tazo. Getting back, with Fefe's new album, I finally decided the proper and healthy way to take-in this "Joy".

Fefe Dobson.

I am so proud of her. I can still remember the first time that I saw her performing on Nickelodeon's "All That", those many years ago. She was a young mixed punk rocker chick, and her voice was amazing. I loved her instantly and haven't kept my ears off of her music since. Like Alexz Johnson, Fefe has endured some Corporate woes as well. Her second album, "Sunday Love" has been totally shelved. She even recorded a music video for one of the songs, hows that for a contract? I know that if I put all that work into one thing, and then to have it all come crashing down, it would hurt spiritually. I'm still trying to let go of not getting the last job I interviewed for...

Fefe has kept her head up though. She has been trying to be a more positive individual and take her life into her own hands.

Her new song, "Thanks for Nothing", seems to be a ballad of a freed lover on the surface, but if you take a deeper listen; you might think of it metaphorically as her veiw on her previous trials with "Sunday Love". In real life, her views are as follows, "My real good fans, my hardcore fans, have it, so that's most important," Dobson says. "At least it got out there to a few hands, and now it's time to make a record on my own terms."[Wiki] "It was sad," says Dobson. "But instead of sitting there and being depressed and begging people for the record, I went back to the studio, got people that I knew, friends that I knew, and I started again."

This chicks a fighter! I love enjoying life knowing Fefe is always writing music!

I really love her third album, "Joy". I believe that it shows that she is a songwriter at heart and an amazing vocalist. She's talented and creative, and she always seems to have a set goal for whatever project she works on. She's really a true artist.

Blog #15 Adam's Album...

Adam Lambert.

I was oh-so-skeptical of this guy when he was on American Idol. Not because he was 'out of the closet' and people were actually taking him seriously, but because of his voice. I really didn't think he was "American Idol" talented," Whatever that means. He was already a pretty amazing Broadway singer though, even already starring with Val Kilmer in a play before he was even famous!

After his album, "For Your Entertainment" was released, I decided to give it a try one day. I have to say I placed it right on my CD rack when I got home and really didn't listen to it. Today however, I was stabbed with a sudden interest in the guy and snatched up the record on my way out the door for work.

I couldn't stop dancing in the car. I couldn't stop trying to match his fever pitch vocals. This guy is a screamer and he's damn good at it! No wonder he was second on American Idol. Some would argue that he should have won. I think he's pretty amazing now. I WILL be keeping up with his stuff from now on. Keep rockin' on
Adam.

Blog #8 Feeling Better to Grapevine and Smile?

I feel a lot better now that my boyfriend and I have talked things through. I hate feeling upset about things. But what can you do? Moving on...
Got a little spending cash today and decided to mosey on over to a thrifty and just randomly select a couple interesting looking CD's. I picked up:

#1

GRAPEVINE/ Chronology - a young persons' guide to Grapevine-


Here's what THIS website said about them:

"The vocalist had been singing blues and soul, and the band had been influenced by the Beatles, Neil Young & XTC.....their inevitable encounter in Osaka, was the beginning of this incredibly talented group.
The band's live performances and self-released cassette tape alone were enough to quickly get people's attention and offers from major records labels.

Grapevine - Kazumasa Tanaka - Vo/Gtr, Hiroyoshi Nishikawa - Gtr, Toru Kamei- Drums and Makoto Nishihara - Bass, signed to Pony Canyon in 1997 and in September of that year, released a 5-track E.P "Kakusei" (translated into English means 'awakening / disillusion'). In 1999, a second E.P "Slow" became a smash hit and the album "Lifetime“ entered at no.3 in the national chart - a remarkable and exceptional achievement for an up and coming band. Since then, every album that Grapevine has released, is always in the top 10 of the charts, backed up with large-scale nationwide touring by the band.

2002 saw the departure of bassist Makoto Nishihara but with the excellent support of Satoru Kaneto (Bass) and Isao Takano (keys)."


All in all, I'd say that this stuff is interesting to the mind that enjoys listening to anime music. I love anime. I don't know. This album just seems to flow very quick paced and very guitar rhythmic. I like Tanaka's voice a lot, for me he is reminiscent of Tokyo Hotel and yet I'm sensing... Veer Chasm? Anyway you guys should check these guys out!

Smile . Maquee

THIS guy blogs, calling them: "Mild mannered Southern-Cali kids indulging in startlingly dynamic, slab-olicious grunge, with the occasional jarring excursion or three to keep things interesting. They were on Atlantic Recruits in '94 for about one week. Like you care."

I haven't had the opportunity to listen to much of this. So far I just heard a lot of yelling. I keep seeing this band pop up as a "Power Punk". I think I also read somewhere that this album didn't do very well back in the nineties. Led to the band ending a deal with Atlantic Records and signing back on with their original label Headhunter. Anyway, I hope that I end up liking it sometime. All music has it's mood.

Blog #4 Slim Twig Shoots the Shit!

Slim Twig's latest album "A Sheik in Scores"
or "Spit It Twig! Vol. 3"

Slim Twig rode into my life on a Harley. Literally. No but on screen in his movie with Ellen Page called The Tracy Fragments. Slim Twig played Billy Zero, her love lust; but not for real real, just for play play, boyfriend. I absolutely love the style that that movie was filmed in. The story. The actors! Anyway. Slim Twig aside from stealing hearts with his acting, is an amazing musical artist. He makes his own sounds. Bringing back to mind the ghosts of 40's past and at other times he makes you remember that old Aristocratic Victorian in you. His voice is demanding and his style of yells and pants make you kinda weak in the knees like stereotypical hens to a crooning rooster. He knows he's got it. You just gotta take it in! His performances are crazy and wild and everyone seems to be under his spell. I can't resist his music. I seriously own every song of his that I could find. He is releasing a film called Sight Unseen soon and also just released a new free download of his new album on his blog.

Blog #2 "The 'Tiana Hux' Story"

While rummaging through the CD section of a Goodwill, I came across this crazy looking CD:

Tiana Hux is very open with her sexuality and very blunt in her lyrics. I really admire her "I got it so I flaunt it!" attitude. She is sorta like a Country sounding Texan meets Eminem style rap. She is pretty amazing if I do say so myself. I can't stop listening to her "Everybody knows you dance like you FUCK, you dance like you FUCK" filled hit, "Properfukt".
Wanna see her perform it?:
