WOW Music!

And it was relatively easy and free! but don't worry if you don't like it you can pause/stop easily, now I've just got to figure how to add to it. I got this idea thanks to Jenny May so now I'm hoping she can give me some easy instructions...

So I guess some explanations are in order..

David Archuleta I think is amazing and I was hooked once I heard him on American Idol (7). He realeased a self titled CD in November 08 which actually had different versions with extra tracks depending where you bought it! Of course it wasn't released at all here so I had it imported (at a scary price) but of course it didn't have all the tracks and most of what you hear from him here are those (now how do I get them to my iPhone?) You're The Voice is the exception its not on the CD's but he sang this in one of the rounds of the show. It was by far his weakest performance on the show but I had to admire his guts to take a song that was not known by 99.9% of the audience and try something different. (He also did this with Robbie Williams Angels with an incredible almost unplugged version. Once again this song was virtually unknown to the audience.) So this was the much better studio version he did while still on the show and while clearly he isn't John Farnham I still think its pretty good. I technically am nowhere near the demographic for his CD! but one of the things I like about the CD is it shows he was capable of more then the ballads he seemed boxed in by on the show. I hope that in the future he will have even more control of the kind and sound of his music.

Jordin Sparks is another idol winner and I just love this song

Miley Cyrus. I'm almost embarrased to admit I like this song - but there you go! I just love the beat

Boyzone. Yet another closet fan LOL and this is their first single after reforming.

I promise I'll add some more mainstream stuff. Its too cool though coz I can add stuff that is almost impossible to get in NZ.

Only one more day and then its back to work for me :0( I went out to Sumner today (a beachside suburb) with an ex flatmate who chucked me in her partner's "Bro Mobile" AKA Ford Station Wagon complete with fluffy dice and bench seat!At Sumner they have these cool "Mobimat" things that get put out over the soft sand which means that I can get onto the beach in my powerchair and go for a walk along the beach. Although I was in my manual chair today so we didn't do that. It is one of the coolest things to experience, just have to remember to not go backwards or stop in soft/wet sand - that's how one gets stuck!

All in all a pretty good day

Hey Rach! Glad you're enjoying the music! David is awesome, isn't he! Though I must admit, as you can tell by my music that I'm a bigger Cook fan! ;-) Anyway, as you add music to your playlist, it will automatically update, so you don't have to do anything else to it! YAY!! TTYS!! J-M
