New Founds

I have recently discovered many new things [bands, people, comedians] that I am now obsessed with.

Coldplay- I've always sorta liked them, but thanks to Amy, I now have their COMPLETE new album, Viva la Vida. And I don't go one day without listening to it. The only word that I can fathom that begins describing their sound is cool. Their music is so chilled out and awesome.

Teddy Thompson
- Thanks to Rosie [you rock my world], I am the proud new owner of the cd Separate Ways, by the young, sexy, ultra-talented Teddy Thompson [also, he's the son of Richard Thompson]. I literally love every single track on the cd. I give it a 7-star rating out of 5. His voice is like butter, his lyrics really speak to the listener, and the music is hypnotic, electrifying, and so addictive it should be illegal. Plus, he's got a few "okay-you-need-to-get-out-of-my-life-right-now" songs [That's Enough Out of You] that I can relate to. I'm obsessed.

Demetri Martin- This guy is HILARIOUS. He's a comedian whose jokes are short, sweet, and refreshingly to-the-point. He doesn't come off as trying to be funny. He's very matter-of-fact and his performance is only enhanced by his "Large Pad" [of paper] and guitar/piano/harmonica playing. He's clever, extremely intelligent, cute, and his voice is sexy, in my humble opinion. Look him up on You Tube.

John Krazinski- Those of you who know me know that I have been a HUGE Office fan for many years. And that I love Krazinski's character, Jim Halpert. But recently I've fallen in love with the real Krazinski. What can I say, he's adorable and hilarious. What more could a girl ask for?

Dream by Priscilla Ahn- Featured on Grey's Anatomy [good show, GREAT music], Priscilla's song Dream is also a new obsession of mine. The dream-like, soft and airy tune will sweep you away, and has lyrics that are sweet and tell it like it is. Not really any underlying theme or message that you will spend weeks trying to uncover only to have Vh1 give you a full-on report about. No. The song speaks a simple truth and that, with the relaxing music, provides me [and you-go download it] with a song to sleep, make art, read, relax, or cry to.

That's all I got for now, now go look them up.
