Did you leave something behind?

So right now, music is definitely appealing to me that have the right lyrics. Lyrics that are fitting in quite closely with my dilemmas right now.
Oh, before I forget!

Thanks to Grafton for posting me yesterday on his facebooks.
He's got so many things, that I'll just list them here:

Back to the blog.
The biggest musical inspiration to me, Julia Nunes…
Wait, I've done this Julia rant before!
Moving on, from her latest CD I Wrote These, there's a particular song that I am identifying with.
This song, it just so happens, is quite easy and fun to play on the ukulele.

BONNAROO 2010

NOTE: this is a Bonnaroo blog post. If you don't want to hear Bonnaroo ten million times and what it is and it's awesomeness,

go somewhere else.


Yep, that's right. Bonnaroo. For the past week, but more for the past few days, I've been spazzing about Bonnaroo. I've been looking up and reading EVERYTHING on the Bonnaroo website, and even though I'm not going this year, I'm going to try to plan next year.

This year, Bonnaroo has 15 bands that I want to listen to. AND, it's not only a music festival. It's a music&arts festival. It's my kind of place.

You might be thinking, 15 bands? Please.
Guess again. Straight off the Bonnaroo lineup:
DMB, Kings of Leon, Weezer, Phoenix...
Oh, screw this. Check it out for yourself..

Bonnaroo Artists

Iron & Wine were there last year along with Julia Nunes. She's back again this year, along with...

SHE & HIM.
Yeah.

So basically, if you can't go, like me, and you want to see it, you can stream it live on your computer thanks to YouTube. Technically, it's sponsored by the 2011 Ford Fiesta.

This sucks for me because I'M IN SCHOOL. My last day is tomorrow, and Julia's performance [which is the first one] is going on around 12:30 and I'm taking a Spanish final at that time! I could if it was around 8 am or even 2 pm, but nope. It's during one of the only two periods that I CAN'T stream it.

And, I can't even access it on my school's computer because it's on YouTube. And my stupid school has that blocked. Arg!! I'll find a way!

JAAAAAAA

Let me say a little thank you to Julia Nunes, famous YouTuber. Even though lately her videos have been coming in less and less she still brings a smile to my face. She inspired me to play the guitar, and then the ukulele. She also brought me to sooo many bands, such as Ben Folds, Say Anything, and Band of Horses.




She's got a lot of haters, but she doesn't care one bit. I'm actually looking at my ukulele right now and thinking about how she says that she doesn't look up the tabs to anything, she just figures it out. There is NO way I'd be able to do that.

And, she's gotten recognition. Ben Folds saw her cover of Gone and asked her to tour with him. She does play it different than the chords out there, but, hell, it works.

Anyway, her latest album "I Wrote These" came out awhile ago, and I want one. I want the physical cd, I think that's always so much better.

Let's talk about that for a second. I know iTunes is running out the need for cd's, but isn't it better to hold it in your hands? Plus, you don't always get the insert.
I, personally, would like to have shelves of cd's, all backed up on my computer, but there regardless.
I don't listen to the radio, so cd's are essential.
Like reading a book on the iPad. I'd much rather have the book itself right there in front of me because even then, you could read it in school or on an airplane, and you can't do that with the iPad. So why neutralize that option?

I swear, if everything's electronic-ized in the upcoming years, I'm gonna go insane.
