Music Super Friends

It's time for another entry.  I really do want to update this blog more often.  I should make more of an effort; I am sorry.


Anyways, I joined Twitter some time in 2008 (I think...).  Soon after I joined, I met a musician from Bristol, UK named Rossanne Hamilton.  I listened to her music, and I really enjoyed it.  She's very talented, and we've corresponded quite a bit over the past year.  It's been a great experience.  I don't know many musicians, so it's fun to talk to her about music.


She has a new website, and I thought I'd mention it here.  Not many people read this blog, but every little bit helps!  I've added a music player to my sidebar that plays a selection of her songs.  I recommend listening!


Her website is located at: http://rossannehamilton.bandzoogle.com/fr_home.cfm


Check it out!  Spread the word about her!


Speaking of music, I've recorded a new song.  It's maybe a bit too short...but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.  You can listen to it in the embedded video right here!  It's called Voyager.





My birthday was not that long ago, and my parents gave me a 50 dollar credit for the iTunes store, so I've been downloading music lately.  What I have purchased so far:


The song "He Hit Me" by Grizzly Bear.  It's one of my favourite songs ever.


The self-titled album from Them Crooked Vultures.  Awesome stuff.  Josh Homme really knows how to play with song structure.  I wish I could write music as varied as him.  So many different movements.


The album "Victory Garden" by Laura Barrett.  She plays the Kalimba.  I saw her open for the Magnetic Fields back in February, and really enjoyed her music, so I thought I'd buy her album.  I like supporting new artists.


The album "The Charm of the Highway Strip" by the Magnetic Fields.  Always a good choice.


And finally "Get Color" by HEALTH.  They are pretty amazing.  Give them a listen!


I still have about 11 dollars to spend on the store, but I'm not sure what else to get.  I'll have to do more surfing.  I am always very reluctant about buying music for some reason.  I always want to make sure I'm getting the best possible music for the best possible price.  I rarely buy individual songs, you see...I like buying whole albums.  I'm traditional that way.
