Diana Krall

I LOVE DIANA KRALL! Love her!!! She is touring for the first time since 2007 and she is COMING to PHOENIX!!!! August 5 at Dodge Theater. Her next CD, Quiet Nights, will be released on March 31.

I highly recommend this artist... she is a great jazz solo artist and her new album promises to be her best ever! On Diana's website, the CD is described as having a Brazilian focus and being a very intimate CD.

To hear some samples of her music, and to see where else she is touring this summer, click here.

Oh, and guess who Diana is married to? Elvis Costello! Interesting, huh?

Peter Cincotti

You've probably never heard of him...

but you should check him out...

Peter Cincotti

What an incredible voice!! His genre is more jazz than pop... but his newest album, "East of Angel Town" is considered pop! And this guy writes his own stuff. Man.

Amazon.com is a great place to buy this...

and isn't he cute????

Kazoobie Kazoos

I love kazoos. They are just silly.

This fun website has a ton of kazoos... traditional ones and fun, unique ones as well. The above kazoos are $19.95.

Pandora Radio

A few months ago I was introduced to an amazing website dedicated to helping 'me' find music that I have yet to discover but am sure to love. The website is www.pandora.com and I love it! I have had fun and highly recommend giving it a shot!!

Below is how Pandora explains their radio concept!!! It is amazing!

P.S. Can you believe that I got through an entire blog entry without mentioning Prison Break's season premiere last night???

When was the last time you fell in love with a new artist or song?

At Pandora, we have a single mission: To play music you'll love - and nothing else.

To understand just how we do this, and why we think we do it really, really well, you need to know about the Music Genome Project®.

Since we started back in 2000, we have been hard at work on the Music Genome Project. It's the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Together our team of fifty musician-analysts has been listening to music, one song at a time, studying and collecting literally hundreds of musical details on every song. It takes 20-30 minutes per song to capture all of the little details that give each recording its magical sound - melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics ... and more - close to 400 attributes! We continue this work every day to keep up with the incredible flow of great new music coming from studios, stadiums and garages around the country.

With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart's content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.

You can create as many "stations" as you want. And you can even refine them. If it's not quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you.

Guitar Hero Ice Cubes!

Can you tell by looking at this that it is an ice cube tray that makes ice cubes in the shape of 3D guitars? How cute is that?

You can use any liquid and make some super fun ice cubes for your next party!

These are available at Baron Bob's and are $8 for a tray!

Break out your Guitar Hero for a themed party!!!

Harry Connick, Jr.

I listened to one of my favorite artists today and was reminded how much I enjoy his music! Harry Connick, Jr. is incredible. Not only is his music awesome to listen to... he is one dang good- looking guy!

I went to see him in concert a couple (few?) years ago with a girlfriend. Since neither of us were having to buy tickets for our husbands, who would probably have enjoyed the concert but might not have admitted to enjoying it, we splurged on the best possible tickets we could get! Worth every single penny! It was as if he was singing to us. I swear he made eye contact with us! ahhh, I love memories!

Two of my favorite albums are "Only You" and "Songs I Have Heard."

Isn't he just so cute?
