If All of the Raindrops...
Today was a long day in many ways, and it took a lot out of my inner “battery,” so I was feeling a little grumpy by this evening... however, while tucking my kids into bed, a song came on their music box that I just really felt the urge to share with my readers.

Notes from the Mind Palace
Karaoke isn’t just singing for me — it’s a personality test, a confession booth, a therapy session, and a threat all rolled into one. My lineup is chaotic on purpose. It’s designed to confuse people, amuse people, scare people, and remind myself that I’m still alive. I also do it alone. So there is that.

Prince reigns at the 2007 NFL Superbowl half time shown
To me Prince's 2007 performance at the Super Bowl was the best performance of all time and I say not only because I am a lifelong Prince fan but also because his performance was the best ever and they are still talking about it. His performance was nothing short of supernatural and phenomenal. I don't remember which football teams were playing against each other that year but this Prince was the thing to remember and the only reason why I watched at all just to see Prince kick ass as he had always done and should still be here, May Prince rest in Power and Peace.

The time I saw the Goo Goo Dolls, Fast Ball, and Sugar Ray in concert
I remember seeing Sugar Ray and Fast Ball together on tour the time that they played the local fair ground. A friend of my mother' s was working backstage in catering I actually had seen members of Sugar ray getting off of the tour bus. Sugar Ray was touring in promotion of their last album along with Fast Ball who are considered one hit wonders but a hit none the less with their song "The Way" which is a song written about an article where the people in the song actually happened in real life for such a happy sounding song the story is truly dark.

Keb’ Mo’: The Breakdown and the Long Way Home
By Brian D’Ambrosio Keb’ Mo’ has been making music for more than half a century, but he still approaches a song like there is something left to figure out. Born and raised in Compton, California, he came up listening to Nat King Cole, church singers and the blues guitarists who traced the music backward toward Mississippi. At 21, he landed a professional gig with Papa John Creach. Two decades of work as a guitarist, songwriter and arranger followed before his 1994 self-titled album introduced Keb’ Mo’ to a much wider audience. Five Grammys, an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award and collaborations with artists including Taj Mahal, Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson came later.

The songs of Kelis
Kelis is cool! This article is about my favorite Kelis songs one is called “Bossy” and the one is “Caught out there”. Everyone knows the Milkshake song which is cool but there are other Kelis songs out there that are just as good. For instance the anthem for the female boss such as myself called “Bossy” you know something Beyonce ain’t exactly a queen b move over sweetheart Kelis is the real boss. There aren’t too many anthems like that that preach empowerment like the way Kelis owns it on Bossy. The video is cool it shows Kelis as the true boss that she is. Anyone who is a boss and has a poodle by her side is a real boss. As of the writing of this article I just heard a little bit of “Bossy” in a commercial for Instacart.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Alanis Morissette released an alternative music masterpiece in 1995 called Jagged Little Pill and that was the year that Alternative music was really hot and the flannel fashion thing had just happened, i got this album and I loved it i was always sitting in my room listening to it because to me it was a fresh and exciting new sound that I had never heard before period I first saw the single hand in my pocket and the video for it on VH11 late night when it first came out. The premise of the you of the hand in my pocket video was some type of weird and strange black and white parade with Alanis Morissette dressed in a black and white suitDriving around singing her lyrics and stuff well interesting thingsWe’re happening around her as she sang the lyrics to her songPeriod well I don’t know what the song really meansI just know it was a really good song that I liked a lot everything about it was greatIt was very tongue-in-cheek andI still don’t know what hand in my pocket really means but I’m willing to bet just you knowLayback and take things as it comes I guess and you know just go with the flow I mean I’m just spitballing here but that’s the kind ofIdea I got from just listening to this songIn general.

The Milli Vanilli movie
Do you know that there is actually a biographical motion picture about the lip sync group Milli Vanilli? I must tell you that the movie is really well made. I enjoyed the movie very much. It was cool. Believe it or not the true Milli Vanilli that being the studio singers who provided the vocals for the songs that the duo who were the face had lip synced to produced the movie. I found the movie by chance on my television and i had to see it and also i want to say that i am glad i did too. If sometime you get the chance it would be worth your while to check it out.

14 Songs I Found on a Burned CD from 2007
Before streaming took over, you had a few options for listening to your favorite songs: waiting for the song to play on the radio, trying to catch the music video on TV or paying $15 for a CD that might have only one good track. As a child, I fantasized about owning a CD that magically played all my favorite songs. Unfortunately, this seemed like a fairy tale until Napster and Limewire disrupted the music industry, allowing users to download virtually any song for free--albeit illegally.
