{ Musical Discoveries }

Kay, waiting on a couple faxes at work so I thought I’d post some of the new music I’ve discovered recently. Well, some of it’s actually not that new but as NBC would say ‘it’s new to me’. If Dino helps me figure out my wimpy player I can add a few songs to a playlist soon. hint hint #2 Dino :) Can ya tell he’s the computer genius in the family? I’m not sure I ever would’ve stuck with digi-scrappin if it weren’t for him. So now I need to pick his brain so I can add a player on my blog that pops up in a different window so that as you surf you can listen to the music PLUS you’d have the choice to listen or not listen although I’m not sure why you wouldn’t cuz it’s SUCH good stuff. :) Kay, so here’s some of my new favs (in no particular order):

• Michael Tolcher – singer songwriter, kinda a groovy sound, laid back but fun
• Kate Havnevik – reminds me a little of Imogen Heap, lovin’ the song ‘Nowhere Warm’
• Elisa - Believe it or not I heard a song on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ that I loved the sound of and had to look it up. The song was ‘Dancing’ and coincidentally I found out that she has a version of the song ‘Hallelujah’ that Lauren and I had been searching high and low for a few weeks back. Not the version we were looking for but she does have a beautiful voice.
• Decypher Down & The Turning – Both Christian rock bands with new CD’s and I’d never heard of either of them before. Maybe a little heavier than the radio stations I listen to will play. It seems rare for a Christian rock group to produce an album of the same quality that the bigger bucks of mainstream can produce but so far I’m impressed with both of these groups.
• Amos Lee – Lovin the song ‘Colors’. Pretty sure I found this one from Grey’s Anatomy. One of my favorite things about that show is the great music they seem to discover.
• Eric Hutchinson – May have mentioned this guy on the blog before but I’m lovin’ his piano playin’ singer songwriter style. Favorite song of the moment is ‘Breakdown More’

Also, music related, I’m workin’ on a LO using lyrics to the song ‘The Real Me’ by Natalie Grant from the same albums as the song ‘Held’ which Lauren recently did an AMAZING layout with. If you haven’t seen it you’ve gotta check it out.

And I’m still lovin’ Ari Hest, Imogen Heap, Michelle Featherstone and Marc Broussard. Those seem to get played over and over on the ipod. So that’s what I’m listening to while I wait for Chris & Elliot’s cd’s to come out. I’m sure I’ll find more in the meantime. :)
