New Music Tuesday

As many of you know I'm a huge fan of Pink is the New Blog! I read what Trent has to say everyday. Well, anyway, he is a huge fan of Kylie Minogue. Before I read his blog, I had heard of her, but I never had listened to her music. You may have heard Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 at age 35 (I may not have that right) and went through chemotherapy, lost her hair and looks like she is in remission.

Anyway, I recently checked her My Space page out and it's streaming a new song by the Scissor Sisters that she introduced during her fall 2006 comeback tour of Australia (that's where she's from). She's got a pop/electronic sound.

Me likey! Hope you do! Let me know.

New Music Tuesday and stuff

Ok, this morning I went to the gym and I saw this woman walking through Horton Plaza in her cute trench coat wearing these shoes. I almost... pushed her down the escalator and stole them off her feet. They look sooooo cute on. Ohhhh, I've not bought a new pair of shoes since this summer, July, I think when I bought some black espadrilles from BR. I wish I could shop. I stopped by Guess and they are $99! That is so much money to me right now. But oh, I want them. :(

Tonight, watching the CBS Evening News they did a piece on more women staying single longer. Apparently, in 2005, 51% of women were unmarried. One woman they interviewed said she had been married twice and she was better off alone. I think I agree. I'm so much more emotionally stable when I'm single. Men are the reason why I get crazy. I am definitely on the bench and I'm not getting off anytime soon.

Ok, a couple of things about the Golden Globes. Big props to my favorite girl Cameron Diaz for being in the same room with her ex-JT. Although I lu-uve JT, I had high hopes for them as a couple. He probably decided that he "just didn't want a girlfriend at that moment, cause he just has too many things he needs to do." She looked fabulous!

Watching the GG, noticed a new campaign from Lexus, with what I saw two different spots. One of the spots featured a pianist composing the Mission Impossible theme song. I don't know why that spot resonated with me, but it did. I've been trying to find it on YouTube without luck, probably because it is so new. And the second spot was good as well.

Also, GMC ran a commercial for the Acadia, featuring a cover of Melt With You, the iconic, 80's song. It was a great cover performed by Nouvelle Vague.

Finally, to our new music of the day. At Christmas, my good friend Stephanie gave me a cd by Cat Power, called Dear Sir. I like it. The group is lead by Chan Marshall. She has a great voice. She sings the Cat Steven's song "How Can I Tell You" in the DeBeers commercial that was running during the holidays.

New Music Tuesday - 1/9/2007

I favorited this guy, Dan Wilson, on MySpace. The song All Kinds is slow and melodic and melancholy-ish. And Breathless, love the piano in the background, reminds me of The Fray or John Legend. And when I think of John Legend, think back to his show at HOB on 11/20/06 (my birthday). The opening act for him was Robin Thicke. He is very good also. You can catch me playing Lost Without You, repeatedly.

As you can see, Robin's beard is bringing sexy back.

Well, there's two new musicians to check out. Let me know what you think!

Cheers!

New Music Tuesday

Hey, I just stumbled upon this group. I received an email from DailyCandy, which led me to one site and I was clicking on some of the links they had on their site and I found this link to the group, Hey Willpower. Check them out. They have a very cool sound. Kind of poppy, kind of r&b. What's Crunk? Does anybody know? I'm so out of touch. There is some really cool music on My Space. I'll be posting links to music I'm listening to on Tuesdays.

Also, if you're not listening/dancn' to Scissor Sisters right now, you're missin out!

Ciao!
