My Musical Journey

Im a musician....but somehow I am lacking the knowledge of song titles and band names.....I get razzed about it all the time so a friend of mine gave me his cd collection..... And I am taking it upon myself to blog about my musical findings...today is day 5 of having the collection...day 1 of writing about it...heres what I've discovered so far ..after having a brief listening party I have realized that 70 percent of his lifes music collection is from Britain.. no wonder I'm a stranger..clearly I'm of asian descent...Ive never seen a "Travis" song in a karaoke book....or on a laser disc...ahhh childhood basement memories...

So the first disc was Texas. greatest hits..good album song 5 ...inner smile..was my favorite brought me back memories of a movie like Three men and a little baby....which also had one of my all time favorite songs in it "Waiting for a Star to Fall" of course Im not sure who sings it...suuurrrprise....

next up.....seriously was I dropped on my head as a child? or in my sleep on a nightly basis??? i did wake myself up the other night grinding my teeth... so who knows what else I do...buut I do know Im having the hardest time remember disc 2....i could get up and look but that might defeat my purporse of trying to train my memory to remember things.....yahhhh Im coming back to disc 2....

disc 3...The greatest POP Ballads to drive to...EVER.......featuring the worlds greatest POP BALAD PERFORMER...Meredith Brooks with BITCH....HUH?!!!! pop ballad...whats wrong with these british folk...they think they can just throw this and that on something claiming to be the best EVER!!!!! and bobs your uncle??? lol .... but none the less great song i was quite pleased it was on there..it made me want to cut off the roof of my car let my hair flow wildly and sing at the top of my lungs...i opened my sunroof...my hair was in a wet bun and i hummed along with my early morning man voice....maybe sounded slightly like Louis Armstrong....i think im hearing a future....REMIX maybe??...haha probably not....i did find out however that song was rated the #1 song to drive too when it was released in the UK apparantly thats why its on the cd....Oh and did i mention track 1 was a nickleback song...hmmmm needless to say I may have been slightly thrown off...especially when its followed by the original I drove all night track......that was disc 2 of 2...theres still disc 1 to come from the album!!!! woo..?

disc 4....Travis.....aw a band made of brothers...and friends...honestly I had no idea it was a band until wikipedia informed me....i thought it was a dude named Travis ....lol but no that would be to simple...there is actually nobody named Travis....no dog, ferrat, fish, or mouse named Travis...no grandpa or parent....but just from a movie character from the movie "Paris, Texas"...this is similar to me as my band "Boy&GurL" well obviously we are a boy and a girl...buut the idea came from the movie "Once"...the characters had no names...at the end they were credited Guy... and Girl.... nameless faces that viewers could all connect with...see titles don't define us...actions do.. ...lol anyhow amazing movie if you haven't seen it please do.

disc 5...Pop songs....ok I must say this is giving me a realization of how MUCH pop music has evolved from what they called POP even in the 90s...to today...whats going to happen in 10 years!!! Its so strange to me that they probably thought 15 years ago that Wow this is so great weve done all we can do theres no way it could ever get any better" and now here we are today listening to it all amplified and produced to the max giving the people something to feel and move too!!!! I cant wait to be a part of whats next!!!!!

disc 6....thats tommorows task haha ....and disc 2 omg my mind is still totally blank...he was in a band with Robbie Williams once annd his name is......................Mark Owen!!!! ok mission solved I can go to sleep now...

but firrst I have to share with you my excitment!!! this week i get to play a festival with Ani Di Franco....Lights...Suzie McNeil and David Usher!!!! I am soooo excited I almost feel like i did when I was a kid and Dad would take us to florida for disney world!!! Ohhh and I also get to play my new warm bright sounding Black sparkly guitar from Daisy Rock..as I am now currently sponsored by them...also exciting...especially for a GurL who loves sparkles and guitars!!! rock on! lol or sparkle on.... take ur pick lol
