Hey music lovers!

Just wanted to put this out there in case someone is interested in seeing a musician play in a super intimate venue, someone's house...actually a man named Paul's house in the City.

Sign up to be in his mailing list and check out who's played and who's playing next here.

Play any instrument or speak any language, which do you choose?
Question submitted by cruftbox.vox.com.

Okay, I read this as having the talent to play any instrument you come upon -or- speaking any and all languages. But, many Voxies are choosing just one instrument or just one language. Ehhh. I interpreted it differently.

Between the two almighty artsy powers, I would definitely choose to have the raw talent to play any instrument I came in contact with. I've always wanted to play in a band! Below is an example of my power.

 "Oh hello _____ [insert any instrument here]!"  <sound> <music> <talent> <beautiful>

What are your three favorite album covers of all-time? Any honorable mentions?

Childhood Memories Flashback: Rainbow Connection [Kermit the Frog]

Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows 
And what's on the other side? 
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, 
And rainbows have nothing to hide. 
So we've been told and some choose to believe it 
I know they're wrong, wait and see. 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered 
When wished on the morning star? 
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it, 
And look what it's done so far. 
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing 
And what do we think we might see? 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. 
All of us under its spell, 
We know that it's probably magic... 
... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?  I've heard them calling my name. 
... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? 
The voice might be one and the same 
I've heard it too many times to ignore it 
It's something that I'm s'posed to be... 
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, 
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. 

Laa, da daa dee da daa daa, 
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

Awkward Teen Years + Puppy Love: I'd Die Without You [P.M. Dawn]

The Best of P.M. Dawn

Oh, I apologize for all the things Ive done.
But now Im underwater and Im drowning...
Is it my turn to be the one to cry.
Isnt it amazing how some things just completely turn around...
So take every little piece of my heart...
So take every little piece of my soul...
So take every little piece of my mind...

Dance Performance (every teen movie needs one): Busta Move [Young MC]

Ok smartie, go to a party
Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next days function, high class luncheon
Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin, guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Says she wanna dance cus she likes the groove
                           So come on fatso and just bust a move

Finding Myself | What Will I Do With My Life: Twentysomething [Jamie Cullum]

Twentysomething

Love ain’t the answer nor is work,
the truth eludes me so much it hurts.
But I’m still having fun and I guess that's the key,
I'm a twenty something and I'll keep being me.

doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah

I’m a twenty something.
Let me lie in, Leave me alone.
I’m a twenty something.

Searching For the "One" : God Only Knows by the Beach Boys, but sung by Jamie Cullum 

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Ill make you so sure about it

God only knows what Id be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
