What I like... Mateo - Doubt
11:19 PM
I wish I had an official video for this song, but there isn't one. I have truly fallen in love with this song. There is something passionate about this man's voice. This is R&B singer Mateo and I hope you enjoy the song as much as I did.

What I like... Chelsea Wolfe's "Mer"
9:16 PM
Chelsea Wolfe is inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things. She creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs.
Her latest record, Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was on August 23, 2011.

Birdy - Such young talent
12:08 AM
My favorite songs from her new album.
Bon Iver cover.
English singer/pianist Jasmine van den Bogaerde, who goes by the stage name “Birdy,” was born in 1996 in Lymington, Hampshire. Precocious from the very start, Bogaerde began composing her own songs at the age of seven, and by 12 had secured the top spot (out of 10,000 competitors) at 2008’s Open Mic UK, a popular live music competition that rewards the winner with a recording contract. In January of 2011, she released her first single, a cover of American indie rock outfit Bon Iver's “Skinny Girl,” which peaked at number 17 on the U.K. pop charts. Her eponymous full-length debut, released through Atlantic Records, arrived later that November.References:

Pictures of... Rachael Yamagata
6:40 PM
I'm am a avid concert goer, and I have many pictures that I should share with you. This is my new section called "Pictures of..."
I recently had the opportunity to see this magnificent lady sing. The event was small with around 150 people. She mainly sang songs from her new album, "Chesapeake" as well from her past albums. She has a lovely sense of humor, and made the audience laugh and cry. I was just amazed with the various age ranges that filled "Turner Hall" in Milwaukee. It was an amazing performance, and I would recommend seeing her if she would ever come to your town.
These are a few pictures from the concert that I would love to share. Enjoy!
