Let the media storm begin, with mobile apps, magazine covers, and numerous promotional engagements, Lady Gaga releases her first single "Applause" August 19, 2013, from her upcoming album ArtPop which will be released November 11, 2013. The video is visually entertaining and the sound of the single is reminiscent of 80's pop music combined with an 8 bit theme.

The band the Alabama Shakes is making all of us happy and we have Zac's Dad to thank for introducing us to their music. Thanks Zac's Dad. Here are The Alabama Shakes with one of our favorites "Hold On" from their debut album Boys and Girls.
One of my favorite bands at the moment is Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. And, one of my favorite songs at the moment is "Fiya Wata" off the album Here. Sung by band vocalist Jade, who's voice is heartfelt and soulful. I love the lyrics, the harmonies, the selection of instruments, and instrumentation. Yes, I love this song. Here's the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros with an acoustic live version of "Fiya Wata." (Which I love.)
I'm sending you all of my love...
You with a heart to feel it
You in the light and dark
With the eyes to see it
Love,
Go ahead
Love stand beside us!
Love is within each heart to guide us.
Thank the sun for shining that light
And lettin' love blaze like
Fire!
Water!
We're all still learning.
The river forgives,
All tides are turning.
Some say the river won't flow
They say it's gonna stay run dry.
Well, once more the river will flow
For every time it was dry
We'll all be sharing this river of love
And letting love blaze like fire.
My love
The sun
Is your reflection
It's true
We're one
We're all each other.
Lay down your arms
And know that love will see us all, farther down this river
To a place we've never ever known before
To night our song will finally know the sound of love delivered
To its hidin' place beneath the winter snow.
Thank the sun for shining that light...

LYRICS
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
Well, this is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the @*#! wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lies...ahhh...
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
This group was listed as one of Esquire's "Bands To Listen To In 2012." The fresh sound of Milo Greene is comprised of five singers who focus on vocal harmonies with light accompaniment. Reminiscent of bands like The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, Milo Greene is a collaboration featuring the group as a whole. Their detailed harmonies are rich, haunting, and lush.
The band explains there is no person named "Milo Greene" yet the name sake derived from a pen name they gave a make believe manager/booking agent. To sound more professional and book their earlier shows, the band used to contact venues as "Milo Greene, calling for such and such..." The pen name worked and they decided to call themselves "Milo Greene."
Look for them performing on David Letterman this month. And, their self titled debut album Milo Greene goes on sale today.
Watch the band perform an acoustic rendition of my favorite song (at the moment) Don't You Give Up On Me. Performed at Fingerprints in Long Beach.
What can I say - I'm loving this band. Their songs are delicate and gracefully poetic. With a humble sound and a story teller's voice, here is Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros with their new song "Man On Fire" from the new album "Here." In the music video, watch great people doing what they love to do - dance. Enjoy.
