Post Previews!

Hey all! So, it's nearing November which means we've almost reached a whole year of blogging and listening.  It's been great and I know I've really enjoyed all the music I've got to listen to because of it (I hope that's true of y'all as well :) and I especially appreciate those of you who have shared stuff along the way. I would love nothing more than to do this all day, everyday until my ears fall off or I go deaf. However, I'm also realistic... and despite the thousands of followers I'm sure are just waiting to share any time now, I think I'm gonna shut things down until/ unless that happens.

I know, I know... you feel as if you'd die without this little blog. But the whole idea was to get people sharing music and to be honest... it's not happening.  I've gotten a few suggestions here and there but for the most part people just post music on FB or listen to Pandora and what not and that's fine. This isn't intended to be accusatory or whiny, just thought I'd let you know what's up. There's still a chance that I might keep going after the year mark; if people started sharing and I got followers and more than the usual 10-15 page views per post then I would definitely do it...but I don't see that happening...

If you really are one of those people who would die without this here blog, let me know and we'll talk. Until then, here's a look at some of the artists I would/ will cover in future posts to pique your interest and make you want to share with your friends. Enjoy!
Entire Playlist HERE
Stay Beautiful- The Last Goodnight
Mr. Blue- Catherine Feeny

So there you have it! If things go well, hopefully we'll hear more from these guys, if not, then... not. But "we'll worry about that one later"... until then, pass it on and enjoy!

Underdog Replay!!

So, I've yet to blog about our wonderful experiences at the Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles concerts but there's still some listening to be done... I'm almost there, I promise. I've also started a Sharing Time 3 post but there's still room for more suggestions in case you want to send in a recent/ past favorite (hint hint!) What I thought I do for this post is rewind a bit and give some under-listened tunes another chance. Cop-out for a "real" post?... mayhaps... Nice and easy post for me?... probably... Desperate plea for readership and participation?... OF COURSE! ;)

Really, I was just listening to "TheMusicMann" playlist on Grooveshark and found myself listening to just a handful of songs over, and over and OVER because they're just THAT good.  Oddly enough, quite a few of them were from posts that relatively NO ONE looked at (except for Cliff) which is really sad because they're awesome. So, here's your chance to hear them again. When you skipped over them last time it really hurt their feelings. Please listen to them. It would really make their (and your) day.

The Shark Fighter- the Aquabats. Weird but such a solid, upbeat, movin' tune!
Just What I Needed- The Cars. Classic. Rock. Enough said. Crank it, and crank it NOW!
Have I Been a Fool- Jack Penate. Great little tune. Upbeat, fun to play on the ukulele...
Unlocked- Jesse Ruben. Great guitar work. Great vocals. Great song. Period.
KT Tunstall- Other Side of the World, I Want You Back
Sondre Lerche- Modern Nature, Say It All, My Hands Are Shaking
Newton Faulkner- Teardrop, All I Got, Gone in the Morning
Two Birds- Regina Spektor. This post has done okay but you REALLY need to listen (and love) this song.

I'll make it even easier to listen to this time too. You can always listen to the player over on the right-->, you can click TheMusicMann playlist link above, click all the individual songs OR I've made a special playlist in Grooveshark for just these songs. Click HERE and you can go straight there, click "Play All" any you're good to go! As always, suggest stuff, pass this post on and Enjoy! ;)
