I think my blog has been neglected a bit when it comes to some decent music. I have a bunch of CDs in my car that are currently on rotation that I keep meaning to share with everyone so that people can have some good music to listen to these days. Last week, Kris Allen [...]

Are you kidding me? In the first 5 minutes of this new CW reality show about The Catalina hotel and beach club in Miami, I heard… “my employees are all VERY stupid…” says the Polish GM of the restaurant. The employees call her “russian baby killer” to which she responds…”I hate russians. and germans. and [...]
Duets!!

I’m not sure about you, but I cannot wait to see if DUETS lives up to my expectations. There is something about seeing Jennifer Nettles and Kelly Clarkson on my television in the same place singing with people with huge dreams that just makes my day. I would imagine that this will be a short [...]
‘A Gifted Man’ canned

This is really too bad. It is usually those Friday night CBS shows that have some heart that end up being cancelled. I wrote about this show a few months ago with some crossed fingers that it would make it to season two. Goodbye ‘A Gifted Man‘. I still miss Close to Home with Jennifer [...]

This is always an interesting time of year for television. Often times I find myself saying, “WHY?! NO!!!!!” But this year there really aren’t any big shockers for me when it comes to what was renewed and what didn’t quite make the cut. Some of the shows I watch that are renewed are: Body of [...]
Ed Sheeran – Small Bump

**Some of you may not want to watch this. Especially my friends who have kids or who are pregnant. This is another one of those songs that just kills me. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a baby before getting to meet them. I think this song shows such bravery and despite not knowing [...]

My friend Kendall wrote about the touring dilemma of smaller local bands on his blog – www.otownmusic.com. I guess this article really shows me why people I like don’t ever tour in Orlando. Are we too far from the base of places that are easy to get to and worth the small guarantee? It is [...]
