My amazing boyfriend, Mike Morabito, has an awesome opportunity to win a Search Engine Marketing competition, but he needs you help.

Go to his blog moreburritos.com, RIGHT NOW and read about it! Then go to his article and give him some feedback.

It's pretty brilliant-- you won't be disappointed.


Thanks, team!

Hey Folks!

My good friend AJ Harbison has started a new blog, called The Listening Blog, where he, an up-and-coming composer, shares his listenings with you, the humble-hopeful and musically-interested.

You should check it out, and leave feedback. Let AJ know how you like his listens and what you think he should listen to next!

Happy reading!

May's Mix is a sadder mix for me. This mix is based on a true story of a love that was many things to me, but never right. It is a story of what I wanted love to be, what I needed love to be, and in the end, what it never could be for me. It was a love that ended as it began, and it is the end of that love that this story is about. The slow awakening to the death of a thing, a fight, and a mourning. Finally a healing and a new awakening.

This mix is for who still aren't sure why love songs can be sad songs. For those who don't yet know why Chris Martin's voice is so sad, and who don't think that Fake Plastic Love makes any sense, and think we're all just being dramatic. This mix is from me, to you, and the feelings are real.

And for those who know it all too well, but could never put a tune to it--this mix is for you.

This mix is exactly what it seems: A bunch of feel-good, lip-smacking love songs.

It’s funny because I think we grow up thinking, “Yeah, that’s what love’s going to be,” and then we get heartbroken and disappointed and sad and cool and say, “That was such crap, everyone should know better, including the tool who wrote that song,” and then we fall in love and realize that the tool who wrote that song knew exactly what he was talking about.

Funny.
