Taylor Swift: Should've Said No

The Academy of Country Music Awards were on CBS this past Sunday night and people are still talking about one spectacular performance by none other than country's lil diva, Taylor Swift. It was so bad ass. She's so bad ass!

For all you kids that hate country music, ya'll might change your mind after watching her performance of "Should've Said No" off of her album "Taylor Swift".

She starts out sitting on a stool, guitar in hand, wearing a hoodie and jeans and then she kicks her performance into high gear as she tosses her guitar off stage, tears off her hoodie and jeans to unveil her black dress. And oh no no no no no, it does not stop there my friends.

Just as the song seems to die down, she walks to the back of the stage and stands underneath a waterfall and ends the performance soaking wet, on her knees, just like an effin rockstar!

I'm pretty sure i'm obsessed with this song now, purely cuz of her performance. I hope its on the radio over and over again. You might think I'm crazy, but i'm tellin ya, just watch the video and then you'll understand.


Oh yeah! She also won Top New Female Vocalist of the Year. hoooty hoooo. I'm such a Taylor Swift groupie now, haha.

Confessions are obsessed with Confessions

Helloooo! (PS: i just said that in a Jerry Seinfeld voice) Its been awhile since I've posted something. Sorry! Between work and being the incredibly "popular" individual that I am, I've had limited time for myself. And I've decided to spend that time eating copious amounts of food and... yeah i guess that's about it. Anyway, I digress...

Yesterday, I was doing some research for work and came across this really bad ass music blog Confessions of a Would-be Hipster. Confessions of a Palindrome... becomes obsessed with ...Confessions of a Would-be Hipster?! haha, that's funny, don't you think?! I hope so, otherwise why you readin my blog fool? WOW.. did i really just say that? ok, I'm embarrassed, back to the blog, my bad....

This blog does a great job of not only spotlighting a variety of indie artists that only the cool kids aka hipsters know of (jk), but also providing free song downloads with each new post! oh holler! You should definitely check it out if you're into cool and hip music ;).

So i spent a fair amount of time reading through the blog and found my newest song obsession, Voxtrot's "The Start of Something".

Voxtrot's "The Start of Something"


The sun is finally deciding to make an appearance in Portland, which means I'll be rocking out to this song all the time. I can just see it now... running on the waterfront, with my ipod, this song on repeat. Ah what a life!
