Swifties, the newest album from Taylor Swift is here! Midnights is an ethereal, fall-filled medication on the things that bother us late at night. On first listen, I would say this album has taken the energy of the song The Archer, from the Lover album. Join me in the Lavender Haze and let me know which of the 4 album covers you have! I have the "midnight" blue one.

It's not 'Folklore' Anymore: T-Swiz is BACK
Imagine my surprise when I heard on the morning news that Taylor Swift is releasing a FULL 16 SONG ALBUM tonight at midnight! I sent texts, calls and some carrier pigeons out to alert my fellow swifties to alert them about FOLKLORE. This is not just one measly song, but 16, and so soon after last August's LOVER. What will finally reign as the song of the summer? I'm counting the minutes until midnight.

I'm Loving Every Minute of It...
I didn't realize until this weekend that I was in desperate need of some new music. In the midst of Christmas songs and country radio, I was yearning for a new sound. I found it yesterday. John Mayer world premiered his new song on Facebook live this weekend and as the lyrics say, "...I'm loving every minute of it..." The simplicity of Love on the Weekend is just that, it's about squeezing more time in with your main squeeze... on the weekend. That's it, just a sample love song. The song is the perfect mix of the ethereal beauty of Heartbreak Warfare (2009- Battle Studies) and the breezy nonchalance of Wildfire (2013- Paradise Valley), I'm excited to see where Mayer's new sound will take us in 2017.

A Love Note: Live From Daryl's house
Things I love:
80's music
live music
current artists doing their acoustic thing
recipes
Where I found it: Live from Daryl's House
Daryl, the Hall half of Hall and Oates, has been hosting a monthly web series for about 2 years, where he invites artists from Train to Oates to join him for some jam sessions, dinner, and conversation. The first epiosde I saw was a few months ago, where Hall hosted John Reznik from the Goo Goo Dolls, and I was in love. Nothing like GGD and Buffalo wings to win me over! Now the show is on TV. I caught episode 31 (there are 48 as of today) with guest rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. Through his engaging persona on Twitter, I have developed a massive friend crush on Rob T. Rob if you see this- let's hang out!!!!!!! So thanks to Hall! Let's let the good music keep rolling.

Screaming Like a 12 Year Old for NKOTBSB!
In case you've been living under a media rock today, you missed the world premiere of the new NKOTBSB song! I've only listened to the Itunes clip (yeah, a clip- because right now its only available in iTunes Canada, and Youtube)
I can't even describe the amazingness of this song- Bryan, Joey, Jordan, Nick and all our other buddies (AJ, Howie, Jonathan, Donnie, and Danny) are rocking this song. It's a combination of BSB's more recent club-like R&B/pop mix songs like "Bye Bye Love" and "Straight Through My Heart" and NKOTB's "Lights, Camera, Action" and "Put It On My Tab" (minus Akon).
I love Nick's line, "You're gonna see its empty without me in your bed, baby you'll change your mind!" When it comes to US iTunes tomorrow, it's going on constant repeat. While I've been writing this post, I've easily listened to it about 5 times in a row.
In the meantime, enjoy the Joey McIntyre photo show on the Youtube video. Yum!
I can't wait to see them live this summer! Even though they had to cancel our concert and bump it to late July, which is really not cool. But in the meantime, I can entertain myself with my signed Nick carter CD, and my fond memories of closing down Times Square in '01 for BSB's perfomance on TRL and waiting at Macy's all day to see NKOTB three years ago.

A Note About: Some Kind of (James Blunt) Trouble
The day my pal and fellow music-lover, C, and I have been waiting for is finally here. For the last 6-8 months, we've discussed the need for some new music by James Blunt.
Imagine my surprise when about three weeks ago, I found out he was releasing a new CD. Today's release, Some Kind of Trouble, has been a great listen so far. It's in some ways so different from Blunt's earlier albums int erm sof the sound. I love his earlier pieces, Back to Bedlam (2005) and All The Lost Souls (2007), but they both have a very low-energy, stop-the-pain , look-back-at-the-past vibe. This album has an overall more uplifting theme. As always, Blunt's beautiful guitar and hauntingly pained and at the same time gorgeously pure voice shine though. He has worked with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder and others for this new offering. Here are some of the highlights so far:
I'll Be Your Man
Catchiest line: "So come over closer.... from the edge of the sofa...."
Similar to below new single, this is a refreshingly lighthearted romp is a Tedder-influenced hit in the making about committing to your crush!
Stay the Night
The first song off the album is a balmy "Hey, Soul Sister"-style song about falling in love during a great party down at the beach. When Blunt says, "If this is what we've got/ Then what we've got is gold," I'm inclined to agree.
If Time is All I Have
Another breathtakingly beautiful balled from Mr. Blunt, similar to the wistful lost love of "You're Beautiful" with a touch of the sad-laded breakup song "No Bravery"
Calling Out Your Name
Blunt's soldier ballad talks about the downsides of war. Another weep-worthy ballad. I cry every time I hear it.
Dangerous
The cool, sexy vibe of Blunt's "1973" carries through this song about a no-good girl that is all dressed up, stealing your heart, and not letting go anytime soon.
