Music Monday!!!!

I haven't disappeared!! I'm still around, I've just been busy with something. I can't share photos right now because the battery on my camera just died, which figures. You'll have to check back to see what I've been up to. I'll also be listing some new items in my Etsy shop this week.

I love all kinds of music. I get into ruts now and then and I search for something new and/or different. I also have a tendency to have my new favorites on repeat, or I just keep returning to them to hear them again. I watched Bandslam last weekend, and while it was an okay movie, I really (really) had one song stuck in my head all week. So I found it and I listened to it today on repeat for about 3 hours. Seriously. I just wasn't in the mood to listen to anything else. Oh, the song is 'Pretend' by Scott Porter.

I also purchased Civil Twilight's new CD. While technically not 'new' since it was available originally as download only on Itunes, I still had to have the actual CD in my hands. And the CD version has 3 more songs. I love it!! I listen to it a lot.



Someone else I really enjoy is Scott Clifton. I originally knew him as Dillon Quartermaine on General Hospital. He just finished a storyline on One Life To Live, and I have no idea where he'll show up next.


I've known about his music since he started on GH, and I purchased his first 2 CDs. When he came out with his 3rd CD, I didn't purchase it immediately, thinking that I would get it later. Then it slipped my mind, and then a few weeks ago I decided it was time to get the newest CD. I went to his website and it was listed as sold out!!! So I contacted the person in charge, and they replied that Scott said he's sorry, but they're all gone. I was bummed. For about a day. Until I received an email from this guy : Jeff Pescetto. That would be Scott's producer. He offered me a copy of the new CD. So I jumped at the opportunity to get it, sent him the money, and a week later I had the CD in my hot little hands. It's so good!! I am so glad that the producer went out of his way to make sure I received this CD that I wanted so badly. I really appreciate it.

Civil Twilight

I downloaded this week's free song from ITunes, Letters From The Sky by Civil Twilight. I was so impressed by this one song that I downloaded the entire CD from ITunes for only $5.99!!! I think it was well worth the money. I'm not big on buying too many CD's since I usually just borrow from the library. But occassionally I splurge on something NEW. I listen to such a great variety of music, but I really have no idea who to compare Civil Twilight to. I DO know that this CD is what I will be listening to while sewing today.




I also love this video. The lead singer reminds me so much of Robert Pattinson!! Watch it and let me know what you think.

Yet another post about Books, CDs, and Movies...

I am currently reading Captain Wentworth's Diary. Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen novel. I just can't get enough of it - I even love both versions of the movie. Love it!! This Diary is written from Frederick's perspective, and begins from when he arrives and first meets Anne and is rejected by her - a full eight years before Persuasion begins. I am enjoying getting to see this tender, loving side of Wentworth, and learning more about his and Anne's courtship and short lived engagement.

Currently listening to Sooner Or Later by Rex Smith because I'm a dork. I love the movie too. Any woman out there around the age of 40-45 should remember seeing Sooner Or Later back in 1979. Come on, you KNOW you watched it!!! (I have the books too, all 3 of the series, because I'm a dork.) It's also been my feel good go-to movie for the past year or so.

Last weekend I watched Lost In Austen. I know there are people out there who are true Jane Austen fans who would never dare to like this movie. In Lost In Austen, the story follows Amanda, who lives in present day London. Her favorite book is Pride and Prejudice, she reads it often, and actually has trouble finding (and keeping) a man in her life because none of them can live up to her ideal man, which is Mr. Darcy. Amanda ends up switching places (through time travel) with Elizabeth, and is literally dropped into the beginning of P&P!! Amanda immediately recognizes everyone and is well acquainted with exactly what is going on at any moment because she has read about it so many times. It's funny and very entertaining watching Amanda as she realizes that her actions have caused events from the book to change drastically!! If you have ever wished for Mr. Darcy for yourself, you must see this movie.
