- i love finding new music -- even when that music's only new to me -- last night my brother nick introduced me to kings of leon and i barely slept because i was just devouring their stuff -- i will see this group this summer -- don't really care where i have to go to see them, but a festival setting would be incredible, i think... what i'd like to know is just how in the world i have not heard of them over the last five years or so -- here's the link to their own site: http://kingsofleon.com/ -- if you go to media, then videos, you can check out some of their stuff as it's been produced -- if you go here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=kings+of+leon&aq=f you will find some video of them live -- and they're damn good live -- if you read the comments people are leaving, you'll see two kinds of people -- those who really like their new stuff and those who are fired up about them losing their southern rock roots -- as somebody who's coming to them "late," and is working backwards through their stuff, i like their newer work better and the older work is growing on me... the voice is just mesmerizing -- it's different, but in a good way...
- there are few things better than the NY Times' sunday arts and leisure section -- it's worth the money just for this section alone...
- it's even better when you finally get the chance to read it while you are sitting in a booth at bob evans due to a two hour delay...
- TED is worth every second you spend on it -- i think angelo introduced me to this site -- but it's incredibly useful to motivate me to be passionate about what i'm doing -- at times i know i lose this -- http://www.ted.com/ -- there's also a very good article in this week's Times magazine section about it...
- i'm amped to see Taken this weekend -- personally, i don't think liam neeson has done anything worthwhile since Schindler's List, but i have high hopes for this one...
- currently, i'm listening to kings of leon, ray lamontagne -- this version of empty is something i could listen to over and over and over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIUSikXex5w
- kids who listen to emo who think their music is emo, have never heard of morrissey or the smiths...

This TED site is pretty cool, feel like I've heard of it before but never checked it out.
ReplyDeletegood taste in music. as for ray lamontagne - besides various van morrison tunes that i cherish, i don't think there is a better love song than "hold you in my arms" - gives me goosebumps.
ReplyDeletethanks... hold you in my arms is a great one, for sure...van morrison kills, no doubt -- my personal favorite of his is 'into the mystic'...
ReplyDeleteha - my favorite vm song! thought i was the only one who knew it... again, good tastes.
ReplyDeletei love into the mystic, wanted it to be my wedding song but the jazz quartet we had didn't know it. jeremy thanks for the two new groups, kings of leon and ray lamontagne. i like.
