it's so easy

Often Mark would say I have wierd musical taste. When I was little my Dad would always sing Buddy Holly songs, or a song called "Chantilly Lace" by the Big Bopper. So it is easy to say that I love old music, partly because of my dad. Buddy Holly has always been a huge favorite of mine.
Today I read this article and am sad to remember the death of three musicians who impacted the music world in many ways. Right now we are listing to Buddy Holly's "every day" which was also on the Stand By Me soundtrack (one of my all time favorite movies) and the girls love it.
Ritchie Valens, who also died in the plane crash with Buddy Holly, is another singer who I like. When the La Bamba movie came out I think my friend Tanya and I watched it like 17 times or something. We were in middle school at the time, so that can partly explain the crazy watch a movie over and over again syndrome we had!

Local-ish band

Because I usually don't discover new music-ever-I want to say that I really like this Portland, Oregon band Blind Pilot. Yay for some good local music! Give them a listen.

Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution

Anyone who knows me , knows I like all types of music. When I am working I am listening to my IPOD, when I am cleaning...music, and most of all when I am scrapbooking or being crafty I am listening to music. Sometimes it is hard to find new and exciting stuff...especially if you want to listen to something that is not played over and over again on the radio. That is why I am excited to share this cool site with you. Check it out, I think you will be pleasantly surprised! Yay new music to my ears.

for the love of reggae

I know that we may be super bored, we are watching www.americasgottalent.com, but I have to tell you that this singer Cas Haley is actually really good. He just sang with UB40 and it was awesome! Years ago, when I was a wee child, I heard this song called "red, red wine" sung by UB40 and thus my love/obsession with Reggae music began! Most of my friends and family don't know the depths of this obsession. I really do like all types of music, depends on my mood, but if I was going to do one of those Rolling Stone magazine "if you had to live on a desert island and could only have ____ albums to take with you what would they be?" Well, they would all be Reggae my dear readers! When I was pregnant with Hayley I would listen to the Legend album by Bob Marley, especially "three little birds" and Hayley would kick in my stomach when the song was on! She loves music to this day too, and she is so lucky to have parents who love music too. What albums would you take to the desert island?
