Whisper-man and the Vroom Vrooms!

Today is your lucky day!! It's a semi-sharing day combined with a current but classic event of a lifetime all rolled up into one (not too) big ball of fun... stuff! I'm not going to lie, I have mixed feelings about the first part but I hope no one will take anything I say too seriously. With that, onward we go!

Billy Joel meets Harry Connick
The first stop on our magical musical tour, brought to you by Traci, is... drum roll please.... Whisper-man! (aka Joshua Radin... "Whisper-man" is just what I decided to call him for reasons that will soon become clear). WARNING: don't listen to these while driving or performing some other task of which staying awake is an integral part... like working at the front desk in a library. They mostly all sound the same: soft and slow and you WILL fall asleep if exposed to severe "Radin-ation" for exteneded periods of time. However, although they all sound the same, they all sound good. Here's my favorites:

Everything'll Be Alright- He kinda whisper-sings but once you get past that, it's nice.
Star Mile- I like the duet feel. It balances out the whisper.
I'd Rather Be With You- He ups the volume a bit more and adds some drums.

I feel like I should throw in a "but don't take my word for it" in here somewhere. Listen to his other stuff whilst laying in a hammock or snuggled up in a blanket on a couch. Quite relaxing. (Word of caution: there's a COMPLETELY random, unnecessary, and just plain stupid F-bomb in "sun drenched world" but everything else seems perfectly clean :)

Then, after you've enjoyed your nap, we come to the CARS!!! (get it? vroom vroom?... nervous laughter...) This is already a longish post so I'll keep this short and sweet. They're awesome and they're BACK! In honor of their reunion tour that I sadly won't be going to, we will now celebrate them here with my personal favs:

My Best Friend's Girl
Let's Go- Fun claps.
Bye Bye Love- No awesome solo on this but it's punchy.
And the ABSOLUTE ALL-TIME BEST for last: Just What I Needed (You need to CRANK this one).

Next week- Sharing Time 2: Revenge of the Riffs!... until then, here's a mystery song. Enjoy! And keep sharing!! ;)
