Favorite New Artists

by Lynn D

This is one of my favorite new artists. My daughter was playing his CD in her car and I just fell in love with his music.

Jason Mraz: His version of Summer Breeze



If you liked that here is another of my favorites by him.

I'm Yours



What surprised me about it was that my daughter from another generation found such great music and brought it to my attention! I know I am being an oldie here but I have hope that her tastes in music are maturing! LOL

Enjoy!

PS I have gone to 3 stores to buy a CD by him and they are sold out every time.

I am going to have to Amazon it! His music moves me and makes me so happy!

First!!!

And I know I wrote this in Area 51, but let me be the first to wish ZONA a Happy Birthday!!! Luv U!!

Jodi said...

LYNN D - Great blog!!! I really enjoy Jason Mraz. I like a lot of the music that my kids like.....except for the really bad metal stuff that sounds like they are growling/screaming. The funny thing is, they really like a lot of the music that my hubby plays in the truck.....Johnny Cash, Leonard Skynard, The Charlie Daniels Band, and The Doors.

Birdee said...

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Jodi, Congrats on first, second and third!

How you dooo'in???

Happy Happy Birthday Zona!!!! Baby!!!!!

Oh, Lynn, Thanks for the music this AM!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Good morning and congrats on 1st Jodi!

Morning Birdee!

Great blog LynnD! I have recently been introduced to his music through Bonnie's myspace page. I really like his song "Lucky". He sings it with someone else and they do a great job together.

All I hear from the kids around here is loud music with lyrics that are disgusting. Your daughter has good taste.

Morning Glories!

Jodi Got first! Wohooo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZONA!!!!

Hi ya Birdee!

Jodi I had never heard of Jason Mraz until then. I guess I should switch from the oldies station on the radio once in awhile! LOL

I really like his music and am so happy to hear the younger generation play some great music!

I should have asked in the blog who else am I missing out there? Is anyone listening to a new artist I should no about?

Please let me know!

Hey Shirley thanks for breakfast!

She has good taste in this one artist! LMAO!

Tinkatia said...

Birdee, Shirley and Lynn beat me too. That just shows what good friends you have. I will read the blog.

Tinkatia said...

I was # 10 whoopie!!1

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - I will have bacon and eggs, toast and tea. Slim Fast to go. Thank you my dear.

Tinkatia said...

Lynn - Great blog. I really liked the second song the best.

I forgot to say
Good Morning to
Jodi, Birdee, Shirley and Lynn. Nor did I congratulate Jodi, my dear friend and competitor this special day, on being First.

Jodi - Wasn't I talking to you in the middle of the night?

Tinkatia said...

My grand daughter likes Miley Cyrus. She saw her in concert and adored it.
In my youth, the older generation thought we were all going to Hell because we loved Elvis. He was actually banned from all the Victoria radio stations. He wasn't played for years. I always have the country station on in my car. The radio is rarely on in my house. Either the computer or the Television is on.

Lynn, loved the music, especially the second song. I've heard some of his songs before and he always makes me smile because they are so energetic and happy.

Waving hi to all my early morning friends who arrived before me and those who fly in later.

I'll be back a little bit later.

SWAK....Zona, on your special day!!

goldie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZONA!!!

Congrats on 1st Jodi and Good morning Hooters!!

Geez Jodi, the really bad metal stuff is what WE listened to as kids! LOL

I havent' heard of this artist, but will listen and from the sounds of it you all like him so I probably will too.

Shirley- can my birthday breakfast be like Zona's? I might even eat breakfast that day!

Have a great day everyone.

Lynn, I actually have him as my myspace song! LOL And, my 12-year-old daughter turned me on to him! I guess us "oldies" should listen to our kids now and then. Anyway, he's fantastic. Thanks for the fun blog!

Happy Birthday to Zona! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Hey did anyone tell Zona it was her birthday? I can't stay perched up here on the top branch with these water balloons much longer. They are getting heavy and might accidentally fall on someone else.

MEK in AZ said...

H*A*P*P*Y b*i*r*t*h*d*a*y Z*O*N*A !*!*!

Good Mornin' Hooters! Belated thanks to Shirley for the LOLs yesterday. The only thing more perfect than Martha is Martha-messes-up!

LynnD~~To say I love your TOTD would be an understatement. I can almost hear VIG saying "OMG, don't get Bon'O started!!" I've been sharing 'The Gospel According to Mr. Mraz' with her for months. Truth time, I really don't care for his version of 'Summer Breeze' but love everything else he's done. Even though they didn't really fit with my Summer Song Playlist, I had to have his songs in there, and his cd is almost always on when I'm in my car. If you don't care for his music, just read some of his lyrics....what a wordsmith and poet! A little Mr. A-Z trivia:

*He writes all his own stuff, but that's only the beginning. His blogs can be alternately pensive or hysterical. One of the songs on his cd, Love For A Child, is guaranteed to bring a tear or two.

*The pic of him on my MS Profile was taken in his own avacado orchard. YES, he's an avacado farmer (just outside San Diego). He's also quite a photographer.

*He's quickly moving from his 'mis-spent youth' to being a vegan/raw food geek and is a real advocate for saving the planet. Quite a guy!

Tinkatia said...

Zona - I was so excited about your birthday I didn't sleep well. I kept checking the clock so I would be up first. Next year I am not going to do that.

I loved our long, long, phone call last night. Anyway at seven I put the 'fur babies' in their crates with their toys. They didn't like that but I got two more hours of sleep.

I hope you are sleeping now. Call me this afternoon but only if you can fit the call in. I will be thinking of you all day.

VIG - How great to get your message. I didn't write you each day because I thought you couldn't read them but I did send you a comment and a hug each night.
I will be so happy when you are home.

Dianne - Thanks for the letter. I said I would write a long one to you at nine. However I am going out at 10 to do errands with Brian. I will write this afternoon.

Good Morning to all the beautiful owls who flew in while I was sleeping. Have a great day. Love, Tinka

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Hey, could someone throw me an apple or something. I'm getting hungry up here.

Bon'O said...

Shirley~~I'm having oatmeal with blueberries, and watching the squirrels steal the neighbors' apples and pears. It probably wouldn't be prudent to try to toss some up there, but if you come down here...

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

***Just stretch my legs a little. Geez who knew balloons could be so heavy. Ah, oh. My nose is itchy. Just...trying...to...hold...on...to...balloons...and...scratch...OOps!***

Sorry Bon'O!

Bon'O said...

Oooh, what happened here? I looked away for only a second, and now my bowl of oatmeal and blueberries looks more like a lumpy smoothie....and who's that limping off with purple stains all over her butt???

sacBarb said...

Happy Thursday Owls.

DreamaTexas said...

One of my favorite singers is Josh Grobin. It kind of blew my mind when my nephew's girlfriend, age 21 kind of giggled and swooned and said she loved his music also.
I have a doctor's appt. so TTYL!

Jodi~ congrats on HoFirst~ hey...do you shop at Ho Depot? lol~

LynnD~ I didn't know his name, but I've heard him. He has a great voice and I've just started listening to my kids radio stations. Some of the stuff they listen to is crap (anything with the word lollipop gets to me!), but some of it is really good~ :D

Have a great ZonaDay everyone~ I'm off to work~

I really want to fly a kite in this silly storm. Hmmmm,at my age you'd think I'd know better....but, I guess I don't! :)

XOXO!Off to get my new wings wet!

jigglin' in jax said...

balloons...I really can spell. Geesh...that was before the potpie and jell-o shots. 8-P

jigglin' in jax said...

I know how to spell 'congratulations' too....honest!

sacBarb said...

Lynn D, I haven't heard Jason before but he has a very nice soothing voice. I have only been listening to the oldies station too, but they just recently changed their format and now we have no oldies station locally. Of course it is really a relative thing, because there is a station that plays 80s music and some people call that the oldies station. LOL (really showing my age here)

My definition of oldies is 'really old' like 50s & 60s. We even had a station that played 40s music that I liked a lot. They played a lot of Sinatra.

Thanks Lynn, for bringing this young man to my attention.

sacBarb said...

Shirley, thanks for breaky again. I love raisin toast.

A big hello to everyone else. I have a lot of errands to do today so I will be back this evening.

Have a good day everyone, especially ZONA.

sacBarb said...

ZONA---HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hodi..
congrats on 1st!!!!

hope every one has a great day...
off to get ready for work!!!!!

Just_Lin said...

******HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZONA******

Jodi Congrats on being numero uno today.

LynnD Thanks for starting our day off with music. I've heard the second song before and really like it. Not really liking the first one, though. It makes me feel kind of antsy and edgy.

Fortunately, I can get a radio station that plays old and new classic rock. I get introduced to some newer stuff that I actually like, as well as hearing some old favorites. I usually don't remember the names of the newer stuff I like though. :(

Tinkatia said...

I just re-read my first post and it didn't make sense so I deleted it. I tried to say I was trying to post first this morning but our friend Jodi beat me to it. Boy, I must have been still half asleep. I really needed that 2 hour nap.

Tinkatia said...

I am home and I am hoping Zona is having a great day. I will be back in a couple of hours.

Just_Lin said...

This is a song I came across on my car radio a while ago. I had it on my playlist for a little while. I love the words. I think it is the most romantic song I have heard in a long time.

Tinkatia said...

Now because I deleted my early comment, it looks like I didn't wish my daughter a Happy Birthday until after lunch. It's a good thing daughters are so understanding.

Lynn D said...

Hey just checking in with everyone!

Shirley are your talons cramped from camping out above holding those water ballons? LMAO

Bono: Thanks for the history on Mr. Mraz. I was wondering where he came from.

The rest of you I am glad you are enjoying his music. What struck me was that he is what I think of when I think about a musical artist. He writes, sings and plays a musical instrument. I can here the passion for music in his music, if that makes sense!

Zona: Get your ass out of bed so these people can really get their party on!

Will be back in a bit.

Dianne/Denver said...

Good Afternoon everyone! You are all not going to believe this but in our paper yesterday it was showing "special" food for the DNC next week and it showed chocolate covered fried bacon and said it was usually quite a hit when sold at other places. MO: You didn't tell us they dip your ass in chocolate too!! I wonder if they will have that at the Republican Convention next month in MN too?

We have some very famous people coming here next week and our newspaper is thick with all the "happenings" and information about security,riot rules (that they are hoping won't happen), places to eat, how to get tickets for the Obama speech, etc. One guy made dinner reservations under different last names at some of the top places downtown and then went on Ebay to try and sell the reservations. He got caught! It will be an interesting week.

ZONA, ZONA...WAKE UP!!! It's your birthday and it's not fun to have a party for the person that it is for (well, okay a party is a party so it is kind of fun)! Hurry, SHIRLEY has a present for you and she is getting tired in the tree holding it for you.

Jodi said...

JUST LIN - What a great song!! I love Bryan Adams. Another of my favorites is Everthing I Do. I think it is from the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner (yum!!!). Here is a link to an acoustic version of that song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laymKSZuq04&feature=related

I'll be back later to see if our b'day girl is up!!!

Jodi said...

Here is the link to the original music video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSZdgu58DRA&feature=related

And the name of the movie is Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I really must find a copy of this one. It is sooooooooooo good!!!

Jodi said...

Just a little sidenote.....for all the Harry Potter fans out there. Alan Rickman (who plays Professor Snape) is seen in the second video as the Sheriff of Nottingham. (I know.....I'm a geek!!!!)

Tinkatia said...

No sign of my birthday girl yet. Soon I will start blowing whistles and setting off fire crackers. That will get her here. I guess she has a lot to do today but I am sure she will be here shortly.

HI EVERYONE!!!!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday comments and shout outs on MS. I think I've been completely spoiled!! I just got out of bed..but in my defense I went to sleep a little later than usual today. ;)

Zona said...

LYNND: Thank you so much for the video of Jason Mraz, he really is very talented. I think I've only heard him sing once before...so this gave me more of an opportunity to hear him. I don't really listen much to the radio..but I still watch MTV now and again in order to TRY and stay in touch with new music. Right now I am mostly relying on JODI and TINA and their children to steer me in the direction of what's hip and happenin'! ;)

Loved the clips today LYNN..Thank you..and thank you too for the personal concert you gave me this morning....it was terrific!!! :)

hartldo said...

Hi Everyone! Another long, hot day at school. It really kicked my butt!

SHIRLEY: Thanks for putting dinner in the fridge for me...I'll be dipping into it now...you are the best!! I do wish you had made that cake though...that would have been the end to a perfect day! ;)

TINKA: And you'll always be a beautiful 39...love you! OMG..just remembered part of the conversation last night....:D !!!

CPGEM: I celebrated...I celebrated...and now I'm barely touching the ground.. ;) LOVE the Happy Blue!!

RONNIE: SWAK!! My day was just wonderful..thank you...

MEK: It's beautiful...thank you so much! :)

VIG: Oh noooo...I'm still six days younger..and always will be.. ;)

SHIRLEY: OMG...get out of the tree!! ROFLMAO!! I'm sorry it took me so long to get here...I think with the heat we had today a water balloon would have been welcome!

TINA: Oh my, the day was filled with one of each!! Next time...the elusive...FIVESOME...da-da-dunnnnnnn... ;) SWAK!!!

JAX: I thought your voice sounded funny...thanks for putting in the elevator just before my birthday...my wings are gettin old and tired! :)

DIANNE: I always hesitate when it comes to parties...I'm not only shy..but I seem to always end up on the sticky floor!

WAVING HI and saying HUMONGOUS thank yous to BIRDEE, SANDIE, GMOSES, BON'O, SACBARB, IBB and J/LIN and BEAR!!!

Zona Glad you got up, FINALLY! Just kidding. It's your birthday, you can sleep if you want to. :)

Jodi Love that music video, also. Another great romantic song. BTW, the first time I noticed Alan Rickman was when he played the bad guy in Die Hard.

Bear ROFLMAO @ the just kidding.

I didn't preview my post. Thus the delete. Nothing important.

Zona - Please remember to come down off the clouds long enough to eat. I don't want my baby to get sick. Let me know what you ate and how many hours you really did sleep. Just checking up on you.

Whabbear - It's a good thing we are friends so I am giving you some slack. If you were Joe Blo I would have you
excommunicated. I still love ya, you fuzzy bear you.

Donna Jean said...

Happy Thursday Evening Everyone!

It has been a very long week since Laurie's surgery, and I must apologize for not being here every day!

I do miss you all when I don't post!

I hear it is a Very Special Day, for my dear friend, Zona!!!

I hope your day is and will continue to be wonderful, and that all your wishes come true!!!

This will be brief, (by my usual standards) I am very tired and Laurie actually got out of the house today, to Kaiser for bloodwork, and then with her Respite worker for a couple of hours and I think I have about a half hour before they come home!

I have not had a chance to read everything Blogged and posted for the past three days, so I can't comment on anything particular, but I will try to catch up, I promise!

Tomorrow both Laurie and I have MORE Dr appt's!! Kaiser should give us our own parking spot! They will be checking her pacemaker and removing the dressing, and I need to have my BP checked and other things. I think I am just worn out, but, like the Engergizer Bunny, I must contine on!

I switched my Avatar again to both Laurie and myself, taken at the hospital right before we checked out!

Everyone enjoy what's left of your day, and please know I think about you all, and my prayers and love to all that need it.

Oh, good grief......SHIRLEY!!! Should be splinter, not slinter. I think I need more coffee.....or start proofreading my posts!!!

Jodi said...

DONNA JEAN - What a great pic of you and Laurie!!! So glad that things are coming along for her. Just don't forget to take care of yourself in the process. Have a great night. :D

Jodi said...

I need to get a couple more things done, I'll bbl!! (Actually...escaping before SHIRLEY hits me with the balloons!!!)

Just_Lin said...

Hi DonnaJean! Waving a wing. We know you've had your hands full taking care of sweet Laurie Elizabeth. I hope everything is progressing as scheduled with no problems. Love the photo of the two of you. I never looked that good when I was leaving the hospital! Beautiful flowers, too.

BBL, I have to make myself something for dinner.

Shirley:
Good Job, you finally got your target, sorry about the splinter tho! However I would think a little pinch in the butt was well worth getting the birthday Girl... Kudos!

JodiHO:
Oh my, how fun does that sound, I think it will be great, remember you are making memories and that is so very important! Will smores be served?

Zona:
Got all wet huh! Well look at it this way, you don't have to go swimming tonite! :O)

Donna Jean said...

Thank you all for the sweet comments! (as you all know I HATE having my picture taken)!

Yes, Laurie is doing much better, and just got home from her evening "out". Bedtime now, before another early morning tomorrow.

I think I must go back and read some posts, beccause I AM SURE I missed something about balloons and splinters etc!!!! LOL!

Sweet dreams to all, and see you tomorrow!

Donna Jean and Laurie Elizabeth

Lynn D said...

Zona Hope your birthday has been fantastic!

Glad you got my serenade! Hope it did not scare the bejeezus out of you! LOL

Off to read the rest of the comments.

Donna Jean said...

Perhaps 160????

Donna Jean said...

Damn, Lynn D got it!!!

OK who is in the running for 169???

Lynn D said...

You guys are so funny! Shirley get the tweezers don't let those splinters fester! LOL

I am glad most of you liked the music pick.

I guess I am really behind the times musically as many of you already seemed to know about Jason Mraz. Boy I have hit the old timer stage.

Sacbarb the oldies I listen to are mostly 60's and 70's. It just seems so much music has gone down hill since them.

Zona MTV what is that? LMAO Every time I hit that channel it is partially clad women holding their crotch or baggy assed guys holding their crotch or I guess mostly people holding their crotch! I start yelling they sell shit for that problem over the counter now! Well I guess you get my point it drives me crazy!!!! So I change the channel I think I prefer to hear them rather than watch them.

Jodi hang in there! I will have an extra Friday night drink in your honor! Boy am I glad my kids are grown. I remember sleep overs and really I have reoccuring nightmares about them! LMAO

DonnaJean that is a wonderful picture of you and Laurie Elizabeth!

Hope everyone has a great evening!

Donna Jean said...

Really, Good Night this time for real!

DJ & LE

Zona said...

OK...just let Nikki in, ran to get the phone..tripped on the step...fell on the floor..and then got attacked in that special Nikki way...my birthday is complete!! LOL!!

Dianne/Denver said...

DONNAJEAN: That is a very nice picture of you and Laurie. I think most of us (except MEK)hate to have our pictures taken but you turned out just fine!

BEAR: Shame on you!!

ZONA: Did you get my phone message and my beautiful song? Looks like JUSTLIN was right..you are getting swimmers ear (ha ha)thanks to SHIRLEY.

JODI: Are you going to be watching that game while you are having a party tomorrow night. I know it is only pre-season but this is your first game since you changed teams. Good thing I reminded you to wear your orange!

Just_Lin said...

Zona I bet Nikki loves it when you do that! LMAO!

Dianne/Denver said...

Opps...think I should have said 175

Bon'O said...

Just stopping by for one last birthday "MUAH!! XOXOX" to Zona...must be the 'swimmers' ear', hon. We said "You are today's attraction!" NOT "Try to spend today in traction!" Geeesh.

Zona said...

G'Night DJEAN and LAURIE ELIZABETH..thank you for the happy birthday wishes...Hope tomorrow is a good day for you both!

JODI: Well of course you're gonna keep THAT!! And then...GO TO SLEEP!! ;)

LYNND: ROFL @ MTV. Mr. Z is trying to learn those dance moves!:D No you didn't scare me...you made me smile...thank you!

CPGEM: Yep...got wet. ;)

TINKA: G'night!!

TINA: I just want you to know that I am still in awe...thank you. :)

Dianne/Denver said...

I saw something kind of interesting today. You know how venders set up tents on busy street corners for Super Bowl or Playoff or World Series items. They sell shirts, hats, etc. Well today I was driving down a very busy street and saw one of those tents and looked to see what it was for and it was selling Obama shirts and Democrat items. I would imagine they will really be selling on the corners after the VP is announced tomorrow and they can make the real buttons, etc. You guys better be watching for me on TV next week doing something at the convention. Maybe I will just march carrying an owl sign so I will stand out to all of you!

Zona said...

DIANNE: LOVED your song..thank you. I'm keeping it on the machine forever..and listening to it when I need a smile. SWAK!!

J/LIN: Nikki probably nudged my foot with her nose so I WOULD trip!! ;)

BON'O: LOL..Ya know...I am what I am..and more often than not that means I'm on the floor! ;)

Zona said...

J/LIN: Awwww....I just saw..thank you for the 69!!! ;)

Just_Lin said...

Zona I thought for sure you were going to say, "I am what I am..and more often than not that means I'm on my back!" Bwahahahaha!!

whabbear said...

DIANNE! OMG, that's a fabulous idea! And I even have a slogan with alliteration:

"OWLS FOR OBAMA" !!!!

Just_Lin said...

Zona You're very welcome. It is YOUR birthday, after all. :)

whabbear said...

Hello, Zona! Hope you had a great Birthday Day!

Just_Lin said...

Dianne I wouldn't mind going to the convention just to try that chocolate covered bacon. Sounds like a near perfect food to me. :)

Zona said...

J/LIN: ROFLMAO!!!

WHABBEAR: Thanks..it's been great!

Now I need to go find something for dinner..since birthday dinner isn't until tomorrow...

JODI: That song is stuck on replay in my brain...LOL! :)

MEK in AZ said...
