Ben Harper


Burn one Down
This is from the album Fight for your Mind.  I love this entire album.  We listened to this album on our way over to the Oregon Coast for vacation with the boys in 2006.  The boys really enjoyed it. Funny, when this song pulls into the ipod shuffle, the boys always associate it with our trip to the coast for vacation.  Great Memory.  Thanks Ben!

I love Zooey Deschanel's energy.  Such a great spirt.  I wish I was carefree like her.  Great singer, great actress.  Is there anything she can't do well?

Cary Brothers


I first heard his song on the Garden State soundtrack.  I loved his song and voice, so I ordered his cd on line.  I love every song on the album.  I am waiting to see him in a small acoustic setting.  That would be an amazing show.

Here is one of my many favorites... RIDE from the movie The Last Kiss.

Jollymon

Jollymon is a Eugene, Oregon band that Aric turned me onto back in the day.  I remember seeing these guys at Outback Jacks in the 90's. Amazing live performance if you ever got a chance to see them live.  Trippy sound, almost hypnotic beats.

Here is Time to Go.  It's a shame I can't find much on them on the web.  A great band that never made it big.

Nada Surf




Inside of Love
Amazing lyrics.  You can feel the longing...to be in love.

"I'm on the outside of love. Always, under or above.  I can't find my way in.  I try again and again.
I'm on the outside of love.  Always under or above.  Must be a different view.  To be a me with a you.
I wanna know what it's like, on the inside of love.  Standing at the gates.  I see the beauty above.
I wanna know what it's like on the inside of love.  Of course I'll be alright.  I just had a bad night. "
