Creative stop-motion piece from Johnny Kelly for Chipolte. I love the creativity of this, but I think I love Willie Nelson’s cover of “The Scientist” even more… You can get it on iTunes.

Going Back To The Start

I’m loving this mashup of Chasing Cars & Every Breath You Take from Party Ben. You can download this mix and quite a few others on his site.

Musical Deliciousness

Love this song and video. Is all their music this good?

INXS

I stumbled across this site last week and so far I’m impressed. They offer 8 new music downloads per weekday. It’s not bad music either… most of it is actually enjoyable to listen to. You can also follow them on Twitter.

Don’t Downplay This

I love this song!

Sweet Disposition

Love this!

Abstractly Amazing

[Day 316 - At His Best]

My thoughtful wife’s Christmas present to me was tickets to see John Mayer in Birmingham, AL. Last night was the concert, and he sounds just as good in person as he does on his CD’s.  Nowadays that isn’t that common of an occurrence. It’s always inspiring for me to see someone who is so talented and has become one of the best at their craft. I snapped this shot from iPhone last night, and I’m continually impressed with it’s camera.

Project 365 – Day 316

My grandpa has written articles for the Detroit Free Press for many years, but they have always been sports related. Recently he was given the opportunity to write about more than just baseball, and I loved his latest article. It’s about his time at Emory University and hustling Tommy Dorsey to visit his fraternity.  This was the first time I had ever heard this story, and it has me anticipating what next week’s article will bring.

The Hustle

Amazon Music is giving away a free song every day till Christmas. They have been running a lot of great sales lately. For instance the new Switchfoot CD is only $5 today.

Life is Better With Music

I’m not sure what it is about the new album cover of Switchfoot’s latest release, but I love it. Maybe it’s my love of the beach, fascination with birds or just the clean and simple design. The songs are as good as the cover art, but don’t just take my word for it, listen for yourself below.

Hello Hurricane

Everything Is Different

I love this flowchart of Hey Jude from LoveAllThis. (via swissmiss)

Hey Jude

U2 is one of my all-time favorite bands. Not only are they great musicians, but they are innovators and willing to think and do things other bands won’t attempt. In this day and age of DRM, greedy record companies and self-indulgent musicians, they did the unthinkable and broadcast their concert live from the Rose Bowl on YouTube Sunday night. In case you missed it you can catch the entire show here. What a great way to connect with fans and build good will. I hope we see more of this from other bands and musicians.

U2 – Not Stuck In A Moment

If you haven’t already bought Matt Papa’s new album you need to stop what your doing and go buy it right now. If you need convincing have a listen below.

Your Kingdom Come

I’m addicted to Mute Math’s new single “Nerve”. The new album is available August 18, 2009.

The Nerve

I bet you never thought you would see a post from me that had something to do with Taylor Swift, but this video was too good to pass up. This musical mish-mash of Love Story & Viva La Vida from talented musician Jon Schmidt was arranged for his 7 year old daughter, Sarah, who loves the song. I must say the songs blend very well together and the addition of John’s good friend Steven Sharp Nelson on cello helps makes the piece.

Marvelous Musical Mish-Mash

Kristian Stanfill’s first full length release drops today. Go buy it and support this talented and passionate worship leader and his band.

Attention…Attention!!

Great sounds on this chord progression to “Stitched Up” from John Mayer. I could listen to this all day!

Mellow

U2 released their new album today and Amazon has it for download for only $3.99 (at least for today). Quite a steal if you ask me. Not that you were asking, but I digress…  BTW, the cover art is delicious.
