I’m loving the new Jason Mraz album.  I’m particularly pleased with I’m Yours.  Anyone else enjoying this album as much as I am?

Me and the boyfriend went to John Mayer’s concert here in Phoenix on Wednesday night.  And it was pretty great–it is actually high on my list of great concerts that I’ve personally attended.

John Mayer can just play the hell out of a guitar.  I was impressed.

I was only disappointed that he didn’t play my favorite song…but here’s a good YouTube of him performing “Another You” on Letterman:

I didn’t bring my camera (intentionally), and Mr. D. took a few photos.  The photo at the top of this post, and the one below were both taken by him.

When I bought the tickets I was a little worried about the heat - the concert took place in an outdoor ampitheater during an Arizonan July - but it was only slightly uncomfortable.

There were also a good number of homosexuals and high school kids (and homosexual high school kids sitting next to us).  So the strong cologne smell overwhelmed the nostrils, and there weren’t any glaring body odor issues.

I’ve been lovin’ me som Jay Brannan lately.  My boyfriend introduced me to Jay’s music…and he blogged about Jay’s latest album too.

His music is pretty simple/mellow…and he’s an open-homo.  So, maybe he’s like my new Rufus.  We’ll see.

Watch this:

Three hours!

Seriously, I sat in Mr. D’s office on Saturday morning and we put together an iTunes playlist for a little get-together we were having, and we scrolled through Mr. D’s humongous library, and it took us three hours to make the most eclectic mix we could.

He’s got the most random shit in his collection.  From Country to Musicals to Rock to Pop.  Some of the most bizarre stuff is the Eurovision “music.”

And as luck would have it, iTunes got all screwy an hour or so after guests arrived, and Mr. D had to switch to random play anyway.

Three hours!

Would anyone here judge me if I said that I couldn’t wait to go to a record store to purchase the new Madonna album Hard Candy that dropped today?

What if I said that I was so excited that, even though I really had to pee when I woke up, I started the iTunes download before I went to the bathroom.

What if I told you that I was thinking about calling out sick today so I could sit at home and listen to my newly purchased music?

And this is all hypothetical.

I sometimes think of myself as a human jukebox machine. And my musical mind gets triggered by small phrases or words. Someone says, “I gotta pee…” and I start belting “Oh, I’m no one’s wife, but…Oh, I love my life.”

Or when someone asks that popular fragment, “how long?” I start humming “I could cry, salty tears….where have I been all these years? Listen you…tell me true…How long has this been going on?”

A few years ago I was having a good conversation with a friend, and she was complaining about her love life and how she only dates jerks, and I was consoling her…at the end of the conversation she jokingly said, “Mike, will you marry me?”

I laughed and told her that we would make a good couple if I was straight…the normal B.S. that gay boys tell their hags…and then for some unknown reason I started singing.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

I couldn’t control it! It just came out of me.

I didn’t think of my friend as an ugly girl, but talking of marriage just delivered that song to my tongue, and I couldn’t think of anything else.

Needless to say she was a little offended. But that is nothing compared to the blunder I made yesterday. I was helping one of my co-workers complete a project, and she was in a really shitty mood (I won’t bore you with all of the back story). One important detail is that this coworker has muscular dystrophy and is parallelized from the waist down.

So we are sitting there working, and I’m trying to put her in a better mood, and all the sudden I burst into song.

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action

Gloria Estefan’s Get On Your Feet.  I cringed.  She didn’t respond.  But the horrible part of this story is that I kept exploding into different parts of Get On Your Feet for the four or five hours that we sat together…and I couldn’t help it.

I have absolutely no control over the song archive in my brain.

Last night I was having a conversation that got on the topic of karaoke–specifically Korean karaoke–and it reminded me of one of the best web videos I have ever seen.

And I’m not being hyperbolic.

I am literally brought to tears when I watch this.  So.  Funny.

Don’t give up on this video…watch it until the end.

I went to Matchbox 20 and Alanis Morissette on Monday. It was a pretty good show. I was surprised how much Alanis I knew. Made me want to come home and download (legally, of course) everything of hers that I didn’t already have. Here are our photos.

The album cover for her MADGEsty was leaked…oh god I’m excited.

It’s no secret, I’m a big Madonna fan (her new album drops April 28!!!). And after browsing YouTube for a few hours, I saw that there are a lot of people out there doing Madonna covers. Take a second to watch these people cover Madonna’s Love Profusion and rate them in the comments:
