The Voice/ Nicholas David

Okay so this year I finally succumbed and started watching the show The Voice. I never watched it before because I felt like it was a rip off of American Idol, but it is actually quite different and it has some real talent on it. I will watch anything where I can see some raw talent for the first time.

Right now Im into this old head that is on there. This guy Nicholas David is pretty amazing. He looks like a bum with long shaggy hair and he is like 50 years old but when he starts singing he has so much soul. His understanding of music is crazy. He is possibly the most soulful hippy ever. Nicholas David is on Cee-Lo 's team. Im also a huge Cee- lo fan , clearly he has good taste. If this guy doesnt win the whole show I am sure he will still be successful. Mark my words.

Itunes has a section with singles featured on the show. Just go on Itunes and scroll down and you will see an icon in red and says The Voice. Click on that to get to the singles. Again, the guys name is Nicholas David and he has 3 singles featured on Itunes so far I think.

The Cure/Song Pop the game

I have forgotten how much I liked The Cure. In 2005 and 2006 I listened to them a lot. I even had one of their songs playing on my, dare I say, MySpace page! lol No one has those any more I know. I was playing this new game I discovered Song Pop. It plays clips of songs and who ever guesses the artist or track title first wins. To my surprise, Friday Im in Love by The Cure played. Needless to say I won that round but right after I was done I got on Itunes and downloaded the track. I was happy with my purchase. Then today I was playing song pop again. (SO ADDICTING) That game is like craxk for music lovers and musicians everywhere. Anyhow, another Cure song came up. Its called Lovesong. Honestly this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I feel like most of this new generation is clueless to this band and its our job to let them know whats up and whats good. Call me maybe is this generations love song and thats sad. Please everyone go spend 99 cents and download The Cure : Lovesong right now. Lets save ourselves before its too late, and just for shits and giggles download the app song pop on your phones. Its free.

Tom Petty on Itunes

It was brought to my attention today that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have their greatest hits album on itunes for $7.99. You are probably laughing and can only think of one or 2 songs by Tom Petty that would be on there, but actually there are quite a few songs you hear on the radio by them and dont even know its them. Im talking about classics. High quality classic songs. The kind of song writing that is seldomly found any more. There are 18 songs on the album. 8 bucks for 18 songs is not a bad deal.
Below is the track list with a smiley face next to some of my favorites. Tom Petty songs are mood changers. Songs you can listen to when you are down and they will give you inspiration or make you feel "free" from whatever binds you.

1. American Girl :)
2. Breakdown
3. Listen to her heart
4. I need to know
5. Refugee
6. Dont do me like that :)
7. Even the losers
8. Here comes my girl :)
9. The waiting
10. You got lucky
11. Dont come around here no more :) :)
12. I wont back down
13. Running down a dream
14. Free Fallin' :) :)
15. Learning to Fly
16. Into the great wide open
17. Mary Janes last dance :) :)
18. Something in the air


The songs that I double smilied (yes I invented that word) are must hears. These are songs that even if you dont buy the album you need to go listen to immediately. I mean really listen to, pay attention and get lost in. Those three songs are worth 8 dollars by themselves. You are welcome.
