“Over and Over” by O.A.R. off their latest album, King. One of my favorites.
Since I never have been able to get the hang of Thursdays (much like Douglas Adams), I decided we could all use some Blues to help us get through the day.
Gotye performed “Somebody I Used to Know” on SNL this weekend. I enjoyed it.
Kickass Cover of the Day: Mondays suck — so here are Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers covering Hall and Oates’ “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” while riding around in a van.

I love a good cover. Especially when they are done in a unique way.
John Mayer goes on indefinite leave from performing →
During rehearsal on Tuesday, it came to mind that I should see my throat doctor because something didn’t feel/sound right. I went in for a visit on Wednesday and a scope of my vocal cords revealed that the granuloma has grown back where it had mostly healed. This is bad news. Because of this, I have no choice but to take an indefinite break from live performing. Though there will be a day when all of this will be behind me, it will sideline me for a longer period of time than I care to have you count down.
Well this is a bummer. I was really looking forward to seeing John back in action. He is such an amazing musician.
Here is some jazz for your Friday morning.
I’m in a songs-with-lots-of-screaming mood this morning.
I am a fan of Taylor Swift. So I heard this song before I read The Hunger Games. I wasn’t a big fan at first. However, after finishing the book I listened to it again and it made a lot more senese. I wouldn’t have thought Taylor would have been a good fit for the soundtrack for The Hunger Games, but I think she nailed it with this one.
I have recently become obsessed with this song. I don’t listen to the radio, but while traveling last week I heard it in the airport and other public places. I guess I’m not the only one that likes it.
Here’s a clip of the first single off Born and Raised, called “Shadow Days.” I’m excited to share the first bit of sound from the album… Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy.
I openly admit that I like John Mayer. I have been a fan since I was a junior in high school. The first concert I ever went to was one of his in Charleston, SC. So, it bummed me out when he said really stupid stuff, and (allegedly) hurt my girl, Taylor Swift. This song sounds like an answer to all of those things.
