Entertainment Weekly recently did a special 1,000th issue. In it, they picked the 100 New classics in Film, Televison and Music. More than one blogger went through the various lists and added their two cents. This is something I wanted to do, so I was inspired by Johnny Bacardi, who in turn was...
I have been to my fair share of concerts. Just off the top of my head, I have seen the following acts live: Billy Joel (2x), Dixie Chicks, O.A.R., Paul McCartney, R.E.M., Tom Petty, Matchbox 20, Creed (2x), Phish (3x), Bullet for My Valentine, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Journey,...
I'm really not sure why two acts were eliminated last week but this week the show was back to the normal format of the one contestant with the lowest amount of votes getting sent home. I really don't like the fact that we have to wait an entire week to find out who got the least amount of votes. On...
I've been watching this show since the beginning of this season. I've missed the beginning a few times but for the most part I've been tuned in. I have not voted yet. I blogged about the season premier in response to an article I found online that claimed Nashville Star was going to give American...
Don't stroke that I'm actually posting the lyric of the day ON the actual day. But this one fits and has been in my head for the last couple hours... I'm through With doubt. There's nothing left for me to figure out. I've paid A price And I'll keep paying. I'm not ready to make nice. I'm not ready...

I know this is going to be horribly embarrassing for me...so let's get it over with.. My sis posted this on her blog so I figured I would do it too...(BTW..look on my friends list and she is Brfirefly) Here's how it goes....take your iPod and turn it on and tell it to shuffle and write down the...

A blog post by Natalie Maines about the new Arkansas Take Action WM3 Campaign currently being launched (see wm3.org for details): WM3 - CALL TO ACTION I'm writing this letter today because three men have spent the past 13 years in prison for crimes they didn't commit. On May 5th, 1993 in West...
I haven't had internet while I've been away, so I'm late (as usual) but at least I have an excuse. Loathe: Almost hitting a giant eagle today. I was a bad bad bad driver and swerved to miss it out of instinct. Clearly I am not as country as I thought I had become - a proper country driver never...
Although I can only find eleven ticket stubs, I'm pretty sure that last night's James Taylor concert was my 17th. I haven't missed any of his local appearances since 1992. If James Taylor's in Cincinnati, I go see him; it's just something I do. The downside of seeing a musician that many times--even...
A. Technology is great; I'm currently blogging from 38,000 feet. No I'm not using a radio frequency, this from my BB memo pad. B. I hate flying more than anything in the world. The thought of putting my life in the hands of a pilot scares me; I feel much safer on the ground, in the car when I have...
Jonathan and I discussed music over Indian food last night. He mentioned how he and his friends are fascinated by the first ten songs that come up on the shuffle setting on one's ipod - specifically, what it forecasts about a person's personality. A musical horoscope, if you will. So, in honor of my...
So I decided to give Nashville Star a watch last night. I had watched a couple of episodes years ago when it was on USA and I wasn't impressed. I thought the show must have improved with all the hype about snaring Billy Ray Cyrus as the host and moving the show to NBC. As a passionate American Idol...
Scene: I am driving home from class tonight, listening to August and Everything After and swaying to "Raining in Baltimore" and I think to myself, 'I wonder where Counting Crows rank on that Entertainment Weekly New Classics list that came out last Friday?' They don't. Here is the list. Overall, I...
The Song List (Inspired by AUbrey) Note: Aubrey....your music blows. Mine is awesome. Neener neener. Note 2: I don't have samples cuz I'm a bitch. Look it up yourself, lazyasses. 1. "Fake it" by Seether. THis song is cool. The video is cool. ANd you would think by the sound of the singer's voice...

For those of you who may not know, I was born and raised in California. I lived in the US for 20 years and 10 months. That makes me an American. (Say it with me now: AMMMEEERRRRIIIICAAAAN.) I have lived in the UK for about a year and a half. I work here. I play here. My toes get really cold here....
