Wait for Me, Bandwagon! #1: Kings of Leon

This is my first post dedicated to bands and artists I come across that apparently everyone else and their momma knew about but me. It’s my official blog post to let everyone know I’ve officially hopped onto the bandwagon. So, first in “i heart music - wait for me, bandwagon” is Kings of Leon.

maxwell = half man, half amazing

Words cannot describe the sheer joy I felt when this man stepped on stage and started singing to me (yeah, to me). Tina and I went to the San Diego House of Blues to see my future baby daddy… we had an okay dinner (Tina had cold potatoes, boo) and stood in line for [...]

12 years I’ve waited for this one night.
I’ll stand front row and wait for everything to go black, and all I’ll see and hear is Maxwell.

My absolute favorite Maxwell song of all time ever - Drowndeep:Hula

Music, the importance of…

Music is a super important part of my life. If you know me at all, you know that’s nothin but the truth. It’s entertainment, it’s art. I often associate certain songs with important events in my life…we all do that. We do it in the office all the time.

She’s amazing. I’ve seen her live 4 times now, and she never ceases to amaze me. Jonathan’s going, and so is Natalie. I’ll try to take pictures with [...]

Ne-yo is Maxwell’s bitch.

I really liked Ne-Yo’s last CD. We have a few songs on rotation here at the office. Then I listened to Maxwell’s snippet of Pretty Wings, and realized how absolutely trivial R&B music is right now. I listened to this 1 minute and 36 second snippet on repeat all the way to work [...]

In chronological order….

Em and I arrived Sunday afternoon with a couple of our NYC co-workers. We had a couple drinks at the fabulous Tempo bar the Las Vegas Hilton (note: sarcasm), then headed off to a nice little dinner [...]
