My intern showed me this video today… It’s pretty sweet. DJ Earworm takes the top 25 hits of 2009 and turns it into this awesome Mashup.

A friend just mentioned to me that he heard this song and it reminded him of me. So of course I checked it out. I was surprised to find a song that gave me the chills it was so good. Please listen to this song. It is amazing.
P.S. I have no idea what this video is about… I haven’t watched it, only listened.
<<Update: this video was removed for terms of use violation… I have tried to find another video with the song but haven’t been able to yet…>>

Last night I went and saw Benton Paul at the Boardwalk in Sacramento (it’s actually in Orangevale or Citrus Heights…). It was an awesome show. He was playing with Brooke White and Michael Johns from American Idol Season 7.

Besides being one of my good friends, he is an excellent musician and songwriter. If you’ve never heard any of his music, please take a listen to the following songs. The first is a cover of Yellow (by Coldplay) from his live show at the E Center with David Archuletta.
This second is my favorite song of his: The Devil. If you look close in this video you might be able to see me in the third row or so. This is a live video recording from his CD release show last year. 
After the show I took a photo with him, and then we sat down and chatted for awhile about life.

One of the guys I work with just walked into the office singing “Summertime” to himself–he didn’t know I was there. I said something to him, and that made me think of this performance, so I showed it to him. This is by far my favorite American Idol performance of all time. There are others that have been awesome, but this one takes it for me.

A song I’ve been listening to lately that I just love is “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. I first heard this song on the TV show “So You Think You Can Dance”. It was used in a dance choreographed by Mia Michaels between Kayla and Kupono. It was all about addiction, and I thought it was one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of art I have ever seen. I have included the video below to the dance and to the song. I hope you enjoy them both.
