Please recommend anything that you think I may enjoy or albums that you enjoy yourself. I'm pretty mellow and don't like most of the Christian Rock (I don't like the "rockish" Casting Crowns songs even) and Rap stuff (not really into rap). What I dislike about a lot of Christian music is when God or Jesus is not mentioned directly and it turns into a generic love song to You or Him. When I'm singing along and want people to know I'm singing about Jesus, you know.

I'd appreciate any suggestions at all. :)

Artists I like:

The Blackwood Brothers…

Amos Lee

So I've recently fell in love with this guy.  I found him via Ray LaMontagne. He's very chill … known in some circles as the "Male Norah Jones". If you listen to him you'll notice the similarites aside from the fact that they are both on Blue Note Records and Norah plays piano on some of his tracks.  I love the instrumentation of his music where it doesn't sound so produced.  He writes some pretty good lyrics and I just haven't been able to stop listening to him since I "got"…

Dude I haven't logged into Last.fm for almost a month. There are a ton of reasons as to why I've been MIA but I won't post them here. You can find that out by checking out my MySpace or just asking. haha

For now … I need to list the albums that I've purchased or received as gifts in the last month. I've gone through a musical revolution of sorts. My tastes in music have drastically changed for the better, I think.

Al Green - The Belle Albums
Bon Jovi - Cross Road
Bread - The Best of Bread

Drove by Tower Records yesterday and saw a gigantic sign that reads "Out-Of-Business-Sale" and everything must go. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with their bankruptcy issues but I wouldn't be surprised. Plus, the Towers that I'm talking about is the one in Keeaumoku (near Ala Moana) and that was the place for music. I remember when I was a kid … saving up my lunch money and catching the bus there to buy the latest Israel Kamakawiwo'ole or other Hawaiian music CD's. Nothing made me sadder … until I actually went into the store. The mood…

Note that this is pretty much a copy/paste entry from my MySpace blog so check that out for the full effect. I have Three songs available for listening on my page and on my blog.

Checked this album at the suggestion of my boy Dustin and it really did blow my mind. Listened to it while doing homework Wednesday night and the energy just kept the juices flowing. I almost got distracted from doing my work because I was just so excited about the music. My first impression of the songs were "Fun-Kay!". You don't hear much funk…

Save The Last Dance For Me - Michael…

Was thinking about what track to honor as my 20,000th scrobbled track. I figured that I'd make it simple. My favorite song of all time … even though its not even near my Top 50 Tracks chart. It's an Eric Clapton cover and I much prefer this to the original. But I may be biased because of where I live. Download it and check it out. I wouldn't recommend this for nothing.

My favorite artist, John Mayer has finally claimed his rightful place at #1 on my charts. My obsession with Katharine McPhee and Carrie Underwood couldn't hold him off. You can credit the release of Continuum which has totaled John 623 plays in the last two Last.fm weeks. Holy crap is right.

Last.fm said that Kat was #1 and Carrie was #2 but John has always been #1. I think he is the most talented artist of our generation dude. Seriously. Continuum is a truly amazing album which I definitely recommend to anyone reading this. I have my favorites but the…
