Listen...it's Inspiring!

I'm on a creative roll and excited. I've got to share three things I've discovered this week - that's my goal, 3 new things a week. One is JK Rowling's commencement address to Harvard, titled The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination. She's funny, warm, and wise! A must listen/see.

The other thing is a music blog I stumbled on ... through a link from Susan Miller's astrology site (I think they must be related). A little preface here:  My granddaughter Shannon has the same obsessive habit I do, and that is when we find a piece we like we play it over and over and over. We once played The Assassin's Tango (from soundtrack of Mr. & Mrs. Smith) all the way from Sacramento to my house - two hours. Now, Diana Miller's blog, I Listen to Everything, is refreshingly easy to navigate, not jumbled busy like most of MySpace and other music sites, and I love her I Can't Stop Listening obsession page! I've created a new file on my iPod for tunes I pick up here - I love Oviedo by Blind Pilot. 

Two short videos worth watching, both the T-Mobile advertisement (have I mentioned I love great commercials - many are better than the programming): Life's for Sharing, and the making of the dance in Liverpool Station. Quoting MeLeeStormbringer from UTube - who says it for me, "I find that this is the most brilliant piece of performance art/street theater I have ever seen. I can imagine the undertaking was huge, and the challenges enormous. But the end result is better than an advert. It is a human event, an infection of joy. A seemingly random act of happiness. I tip my cap to the people who thought of this. Just fantastic."

Soon, I will figure out how to imbed video and sound tracks here! Little steps. Enjoy!

Music keeps me dancing whether my feet are moving or not!

I'd love to hear the tapes you suggested. Any chance you can bring them to Mexico?
