Awesome Music!!

                              

After watching the Grammy's the other day I have fallen in love with two more bands that I hadn't heard of before.  They are Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers.  These two bands are kind of similar. Mumford and Sons is kind of a mixture of alternative rock and bluegrass.  They are really good! The Avett Brothers are rock with a bit of a bluegrass flair on some songs.  After seeing them perform on the Grammy's I immediately downloaded their latest albums on iTunes.

Favorites:  Mumford and Sons-     The Cave

                                                  Roll Away Your Stone

                                                  Awake My Soul

                                                  Winter Winds

              

                 The Avett Brothers-     I and Love and You

                                                   Head Full of Doubt/ Road Full of Promise

                                                   Laundry Room

                                                   Slight Figure of Speech

                                                   It Goes On and On

                                                   Incomplete and Insecure

Check them out and enjoy!!

YouTube, Yo

Well I have this youtube page that might be kind of fun to go check out. I have a few videos up and I hope to get some more up soon. Ideally, I would like to post videos on a regular basis but at times it can be hard to find time to record them! Anywho you can find my channel at this link http://www.youtube.com/user/linnyloo?feature=mhum

Here is my newest video!

I Got The Fever!!

Bieber Fever that is!!!! I am not ashamed to admit the fact that I love Justin Bieber.  Not in the teenage girl "he's my idol" type of way.  I just really like the kid!! And I saw on the news today a clip of Justin Bieber during a radio interview...and in the middle of the interview his phone rang and his ringtone was none other than Mike Gundy doing his "I'm a man, I'm 40" speech.  How funny is that?!! Then the next segment showed a clip of Mike Gundy during his press conference today getting a phone call...his ringtone was Justin Bieber!! He proceeded to say he changed his ringtone last night after seeing the clip of Bieber. I wish I had a video to upload for it but the story is just too new...however, when one is available I will upload it! Also, he added that he would love for JB to come to a football game and maybe play a concert!!! :) This made me very excited!! I would love to see Justin Bieber, and I don't care who knows it! :)

Seriously?!!

Ok I really wanted todays post to be a video of a song I really like.  But....because I live out in the boonies my internet is painstakingly slow and videos will not upload!! So my idea for a post is kaput.  However, I always have a plan B! :)

Alright, there are about a million movies out right now that I really want to see...and even more that are coming soon!! Here are some of the ones in theaters right now that I would like to see:

I wish I had more time to go to the movies because I am dying to see these.  AND there are so many more that will be out soon that I really really want to see too.  For instance:

Well that is all!! For now :)

I am NOT the Next American Idol : )

This past summer I graduated from college and was faced with the dilemma of what to do with my life. So naturally, I decided to try out for American Idol and see what would happen. Unfortunately, I did not make it past round one, however I did come away with some pretty cool memories. Plus, I now know how the whole show works behind the scenes.  And my mom and I got to spend some time touring around Austin, which, I might add, is AWESOME!!! Except for maybe that huge University in the middle of it, but we can overlook that ;)  Here are some pics of my American Idol experience….

 Day 1 Outside the Arena at 5am

 Day 1 The line is finally moving

 Day 1 Finally inside at 9:00am, about to get my wristband

There it is. Contestants got orange, guests got yellow.

Day 2 No auditions so we went to the Capitol. I couldn’t pass the saddle up!

 Day 3 Audition day line at 5am

 Day 3 People starting to come in. We all had assigned seats.

 Day 3 If you don’t know who that is you need to come out from under your rock.

 Day 3 The crowd on audition day

They set up 10 tables. People lined up in 4 lines side by side.

It’s my turn to go down and audition.

There I am about to step forward and sing…NERVE-WRACKING!!

A Little Taste of the Shaytard Vlog

This video was made by a friend of the Shaytards but it does a good job of summing up the family! Enjoy!

Very First Blog Post EVER!!

Ok so I have no idea how to do this sort of thing, but I have a brother and sister-in-law that both have blogs so I thought I would give it a try.  I’m not at all an interesting person but the things I encounter on a daily basis, be it something on the internet or a story from my job, just might be of interest to someone out there.

For starters, I would like to shed some light on a vlogger I have been following since about this time last year.  The Shaytards are a family of 7 and the basis of the vlog is just following their daily lives.  It is a very entertaining mix of the father, Shay, his wife, Katilette, and their 4 children.  Here is the link to the Shaytards YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SHAYTARDS Warning: the Shaytards vlog can be quite addictive!!!!
