TOP 5 albums/artists - HELP!


So I am dying for some new music. Something fresh. Something creative.
I sing kids songs everyday but I generally like to listen to these categories in music:

Classical
Easy Listening (Acoustic or piano stylings)
Hard Rock
Worship Tunes
Weird cultural songs

Friends can you please help to increase my music library by sharing your top 5 favourite albums or artists that you are grooving too now?

Hey Sister, here's some current suggestions for you.

1) If you haven't caught onto mute math yet, check them out.... I've not grown tired as yet.

2) my latest discovery is a band called Robert Randolph and the family band. Kinda funky, the guy plugs in a country steel guitar and plays it through a marshall stack....

we'll be seeing you soon! dates to arrive in the next week or so.

Comming at you from Pinawa.....
Stu and Jax

The new nickleback (hahahahahahahah)

So, what I have loved lately is:

The Postal Service
Dave Matthews Live at Radio City
Coldplay Viva La Vida
Eddie Vedder Into The Wild Soundtrack
And various U2 songs, the accustic stuff

I have also found that making a play list from song 5 on each of your albums is great. It's my opinion that song 5, for the most part is the best song on the album.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
