I've been a PLUSHGUN fan for the past - - hmmmmm - - year i guess? I like him SO much, that I made my own DogTag necklaces with inscripted lyrics from PLUSHGUN's song "Just Impolite". Check out my previous posts about PLUSHGUN by clicking HERE, also HERE and then again HERE.

It is probably my favorite song of the year, and if you haven't heard it . . . listen to him on myspace here NOW.

TYLER SHIELDS WEBSITE

this is just getting rediculous . . . i guess i could say i told ya so. woot!

yeah so i really love when i get to 'toot my own horn' when it comes to predicting future hit songs, and bands about to break. well actually that is what i get paid to do, so i should be good at it. it's a matter of how MUCH i get to do.

i can't wait till one day i will be able to sign all the passion projects i pitch, such as ERIC HUTCHINSON, SILVERSUN PICKUPS, DAN LE SAC VS. SCROOBIUS PIP, PLUSHGUN, FRANKMUSIK, MAN LIKE ME, etc . . . you get the hint.

I have been seeing INGRID MICHAELSON all over the place lately - - - this makes me laugh and smile really big. you might not believe me on this one, so I've emailed Ingrid to confirm this. I got her cd way back before she got her first TV placements. I read about her on a blog, and fell in love with the cd. It's just one of those cd's that you can't take off. I listened to it all the way through, and she was different. she had swagger, and a natural voice that spoke to me. and most of all I believed her.

I reached out to her, and apparently I was the first industry person to do so, and she emailed asking me if she could ask me questions and advice. Of course I love to hear myself talk - - haha - especially when it comes to the music biz. So I called her and we talked for about an hour, and I reccomended a few great NYC lawyers, yada yada and other good stuff.

Cut to now, and she is ubersuccessfull. I ran into her after her Hotel Cafe show, and I asked if she still had that initial email exchange, as I would love to save it for the book someday. I love to compile stuff like that, just incase.

So Ingrid, Congrats!!!!! It couldn't happen to a nicer girl. I'm so excited for you, and I hope I can still get a ticket to your next LA show @ the Troub on Jan 24th. HAHA It's probably sold out by now -- but if you haven't seen her or heard her tunes on VH1, Greys Anatomy, Old Navy, etc... then wake up and smell the freakin coffee!!!

Hell Ya! Ingrid! Woot!

oh yeah and check out my new hair do - - - it's pretty fun! i'm excited! what do you think???


Oh yeah did anybody see KATE NASH last night at the troub? I would have gone but 1) it was sold out, and 2) i've already seen her at club YO YO in london which was pretty sweet.


KATE NASH 'FOUNDATIONS' played live on Jools Holland

KATE NASH MYSPACE

I'm very curious as to how the show went . . . Foundhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifations is a huge hit song - but is she great live? She wasn't when I saw her. I LOOOOOOVE the song, but I remember thinking she was nothing special live. (but that was also over 1 yr ago)
COmments please - what do you think of Ingrid, my new hair (haha i'm so vain now!), and do you like KATE NASH?

xohp

my new macbook! videos i love + more shows this week!

First off - a bigggggggg time thank you to STEVE BRIGHT over at the Apple Store in Glendale! He saved my life - well he literally saved my computer - which is my life. So while my Powerbook is in Computer Rehab for too many illegal downloads (jk - i just really beat that thing up!) I now have this new AMAAAAZING Macbook - it's Black and beautiful. sooooo many new features, my brother PHIL just somehow connected with my computer and could take over the screen via IM. what a great feature - especially for computer retards like me, who can't even figure out how to send an email from my .mac account! haha
anyhoo - - i'm back with my new computer and all i want to do is work/blog/and surf the net!

here are a few sweet videos i've been watching on repeat:

Ok i have to pull myself away from my new mac and get ready!

for blake . . . PLUSHGUN 'Just Impolite'

get to know PLUSHGUN

This song has been on repeat all day long. It is infectious. I can't believe this guy is only 23. Just listen to this, and then read the lyrics below.


PLUSHGUN 'Just Impolite'

'Just Impolite' lyrics:

Friday night became so lonely,
When you came to make a break,
That seemed to take all day to make me angry 'cause I
Like you, maybe I'm just Like You
Holding on to something that we know we can not hold
or fold it seems it seems we just can't forget
Are you frightened, by perfection?
Is this who you are, not who you want to be,

I walk the line like Johnny Cash
I made the bus in seconds flat
I called your line too many times
I'm not obsessed, just impolite.

Sunday came and went so quickly
now you say you want me back
you will hold on, despite my cons,
it seems we're meant to hate it!
Being so dependent.
But it seems we can believe that we're two peas in this pod
we call New York, gets so lonesome.
Are you frightened, by neglection?
Am I who you want to see yourself to be?

I walk the line like Johnny Cash
I made the bus in seconds flat
I called your line too many times
I'm not obsessed, just impolite

You're stuck on me, you don't know why
Can't leave me anytime you try
They say that everybody cries
so don't think twice 'cause it's alright.

Stay here,
touching you, touching the light in your eyes
that keeps coming back

Come To LA PLUSHGUN. :) We want to dance in a minefield too!
