Radio

I have had the same 5 c.d.'s in my car for the past year, not exaggerating here. So lately I have been really bored with my music selection, and I always forget to grab new c.d.'s or grab my ipod. So yesterday I thought, well I have lived here for 2 years now maybe I should set some stations on my car radio. I dislike the radio very much, there is never a station that plays good music consistently, so I don't turn it on unless it is am talk radio. So as I was cruising along doing my radio search I came upon 94.7 Power fm (enough said right). But surprisingly that is the one I am listening to. What is happening to me!! But as I searched around all I could find was Christian stations, (not that this is bad, its just not what I want to jam to in the car) or classic rock. Now I must admit it made my preset stations only because they were playing Def Leppard and it took me back to Jr. High when my sister got the cassette tape and we rocked out to Pour some sugar on me after school! But next thing I know they were playing Nickelback or some other band I just can't handle. So I keep switching back and forth between serious hair band guitar solos and Jay Z. And let's face it Jay Z makes a ride in the car much more enjoyable! So until a station gets it together and can play a good mix of U2, Jimmy Eat World, Coldplay, Get up kids etc., well then I guess me and Rihanna are gonna be friends!

my music vs. the kids music

So for Valentines Day Dan got me this C.D. which I love! Love the movie, love the music!
We went out to this really nice golf club and ate dinner with some new friends, it was great.
I have unfortunately not had this cd stuck in my head for the last week, I have had veggie tales ingrained in there instead. Zeke has recently been into this veggie tales juke box dvd, you pick all the songs you want to hear and it plays through them all like a juke box. Well we have been listening to it daily for more than a week!
Now I have to give it up to veggie tales they have catchy, funny songs. They make us all laugh. For example they have a song called the bellybutton song, where the veggies are dressed like the backstreet boys and sing lines like baby I gotta tell you somethin', I don't got a bellybutton. And they sing little tunes about Sport utility vehicles, cruisin to 7-11 for frito lays and kickin it in 4 wheel drive for a dozen eggs. Now this might not sound that funny, but the veggies are dressed like yuppies and driving pink and blue matching SUV's.
Anyway last night at 1am when I woke to visit the ladies room, I was singing in my head one of the tunes about a yodeling veterinarian! It has gone too far when all day these catchy tunes are in my head!
So I am going to work on getting some good music in my head! It is cute to watch Zeke giggle at these tunes, he has never been into veggie tales, but who wouldn't love to hear a cucumber sing about his lost hairbrush!
by the way Zeke is sick again, has had a fever on and off since yesterday, in the month and a half since we moved, he has been well for one week! ugh!

I love Jimmy

Don't worry I still love my husband most of all, I was speaking of the band Jimmy eat world!! If you read my husbands blog you know we went to go see them last night at the Wiltern in LA. First of all the Wiltern is so beautiful and cool. It was built in 1932 and it has all of this cool filigree (Karen how do you spell that?) all over the place. Anyway I was very impressed usually we see a show at a ghetto location with a dirty building, this was a pleasant surprise! And we had cool comfortable seats, yes I am old, I like to have the option to sit while at a concert. I am way past the age where it is fun to stand squished on the floor next to 21 year old boys and girls who can finally order a beer at a show and thrash around uncontrollably! Don't get me wrong I will absolutely subject myself to that, but for only a select few bands, U2 always and forever, Jimmy eat World, The Killers, and Death Cab. There may be a few others you could talk me into.
Anyway Jimmy is so amazing, they sounded great and just put on a darn good show! My favorite of the evening was 23 off of the Futures album. They played some from the Clarity album like, crush, Blister, and For me this is heaven (can you still feel the butterflies is what I call it).
And I have to give love to Karen and Steve I can't think of anyone I would rather see Jimmy or U2 with than you guys. We love you.
Even though I am getting older and more cranky about shows, I still love to go and feel the energy in the place and how the music moves you to get up and dance. We were in the balcony and you could feel the whole floor bend and move with everyone as we danced! I love that music can do that for you, it has been a while, thanks Jimmy.
