“Where Was I & How Did I Miss Lisa Hannigan?”

Good thing I came out from under my rock. I can’t believe I had not heard of “Lisa Hannigan” until she appeared on “The Colbert Report”.

I am one lucky girl! Can you imagined if I missed watching my nightly “sarcasm love-in” with Mr.Colbert? I still wouldn’t know who “Lisa Hannigan” was and would not have sprinted to my local music store to pick up her debut album “Sea Sew”.

I absolutely love ” I Don’t Know”, one of the many refreshing songs found on “Sea Sew”.

Chris Cornell still deserves credit for Cook’s American Idol performance

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Okay, David Cook has a great voice, but I noticed the judges didn’t realize last week that his performance was a cover of a cover (Chris Cornell’s version of Michael Jackson’s version of Billy Jean). They called it brilliant or something like that.

It completely slipped by them that it wasn’t his own (even though Ryan Seacrest introduced his performance by saying it was a Chris Cornell cover).

I’m glad the cat’s out of the bag, especially with articles like this giving Chris Cornell the credit he’s due. But without reading these articles, most of America will probably continue to think it’s Cook’s genius, and I hope he doesn’t win based on that.

Anyway, I’m rooting for David Archuleta!

why do radio personalities always look different than they sound?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Isn’t it weird that people’s voices never match up with their looks?

For example, radio talk show personality, Jay Severin. I’ve always loved his voice and listening to his show. But I don’t know, I never imagined he looked like this. I’m not really sure what I pictured, but maybe someone with a less pointy face and a little more hair.

Now, to me, Rick Shaffer on The Money Show sounds kind of nerdy. But I just looked him up on the Web and he’s actually quite attractive.

And how about Laura Ingraham, who I always pictured as an older, bookish, conservative-looking, matronly, even manly type woman, and look at her: she’s young and beautiful.

It’s just funny how our mind plays tricks on us and what we imagine is usually just that!
