music and life and more!
It’s raining…I’m sleepy…I’m at work…
I’ve having trouble focusing, but Marching Band is helping to keep me awake.
more people need to listen to this band…

I’m hoping to keep updating this blog more often, but I’m about to start working 7 days a week with a second job part time. I’m passionate about what I do, but I didn’t get in to it to become rich…famous, maybe, but definitely not rich.

To this day, I still defend myspace to my friends and colleagues who feel it’s not worth the time. The interface can get a bit annoying but I’ve never had trouble with it.
I am constantly adding new bands and many times, the bands who contact me to add them understand my music tastes. I’m pretty open to all genres and I do listen to every single band’s music that sends a request, but some just don’t always make the cut.
I’m sure I would have found out about them eventually, but the other day, I had a friend request from The Very Most. A band from Boise, Idaho that almost screams “we should be in your music library Lauree” They definitely made the cut!! Hell, I only needed to hear 20 seconds of the first song playing on their page to add ’em.

At the very least (pun totally not intended…but amuses me…), myspace allows me to reach out and connect to bands I may never get to see live.
I can’t even begin to list all the UK (especially Scottish) bands I’ve connected to via myspace who probably think I’m a nut. Some of those bands have since broken up and gone on to other projects, so without myspace, I probably would have never heard the music!!
I may no longer sit for hours and hours a week at WLFR like I did back in college, but that doesn’t mean I’ve lost my “kid in the candy store” approach to getting to hear new (or new to me) music! Myspace helps with the addiction.
I absolutely love the Nickelodeon show, The Adventures of Pete N Pete!
In fact, back in the Fall of 1994, I did an internship at Nickelodeon. I decided to do it in an effort to try and be an intern on the show specifically, since it filmed in NJ. That didn’t work, but I did get an internship for the On-air promotions department. When I went for my interview at MTV Networks, they looked at my resume and really thought I should be at VH1 or MTV with my music background. I, however, was insistent that I intern at Nickelodeon or not at all. It was pretty bold move on my part, especially for someone who was rather timid and somewhat naive in regards to big city life in NYC.
At any rate, Polaris (aka, most of Miracle Legion) were the band behind most of the music for the show and this song always creeps up in my head every October.
I promise, major updates soon, blogging to return…
good news will be announced…
in the meantime, I’m trying to not get sick, while working almost constantly!
