Megan Washington is an Australian artist that I recently discovered by clicking random video's on Youtube. The song I discovered was "Holy Moses".<br />

I must say that this is one of my favorite videos. Its packed full of imagery, and unique style and camera shooting. As for the song itself, it has that strong drum beat that I love and even manages to work in a kazoo! (Remember being six and playing with a kazoo?) Check out the video below and let me know your thoughts:<br />

The last few days of summer are here, and I can't say I'm not happy to see this season come to a close.
I'm not a fan of the warm weather,<br />
<br />
I'm more of a autumn/winter bird. I'm counting down the days till pumpkin picking, applecider, hiking, skiing, jumping into my comfy sweaters and sipping hot coco while watching the snow fall down.<br />
<br />
Ciao<br />

The UK singer has made it big in the US, she's performed on MTV, Dancing with the Stars, and a number of other television shows here in the States. Her debut album <i>Lungs</i> was one of my favorites (<i>Drumming Song</i>, a single, was stuck in my head for months). However<i> Lungs</i> has been out for some time now and many of her fans have been waiting for some new music and she provided.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/13899847/tumblr_lqjh1lWG1R1r0qh3qo1_500_large.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/13899847/tumblr_lqjh1lWG1R1r0qh3qo1_500_large.png" width="300" /></a></div>Her latest single is "<i>What the Water Gave Me</i>", the single is melodic in principle. It starts off slow, with a simple beat that slowly builds up and up. Many say Florence & The Machine makes people want to sing, and this song is no exception.

Usually I can find this is classical music. I prefer what I call "build ups". Its where a song starts out rather simple and melodic, and then builds into a full orchestra that overwhelms the ears.<br />
<br />
If you've never heard of the Celestial Classics then don't worry, most haven't heard of it by name. You have however heard most of them in the big blockbuster movies as their frequently used to give a sense of emotion or pace to a scene. Gustav Holst is the composer of the Celestial Classics that range from Mercury to Neptune (sorry they hadn't discovered Pluto by the time he passed away, which didn't matter now-a-days).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/6307381/tumblr_l2ss8sdvqC1qa1ixuo1_500_large.jpg?1295113233" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/6307381/tumblr_l2ss8sdvqC1qa1ixuo1_500_large.jpg?1295113233" width="400" /></a></div>Mars, the bringer of war is my favorite, I sometimes put it on mix cd's and crank the volume up and let the full impact of such a powerful song chill me to the bone. Check it out below and let me know what you think (and if you can name any movies you've heard it in):<br />

The song is called <i>Somebody That I Use to Know</i> by Goyte, featuring Kimbra. I have to say I've had the song on replay non-stop for a while now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/10604060/26896_10150172803250401_204536510400_11564288_3832179_n_large.jpg?1307572098" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/10604060/26896_10150172803250401_204536510400_11564288_3832179_n_large.jpg?1307572098" width="400" /></a></div>The song is simplistic in its beat, but the harmony between both Goyte and Kimbra works wonderfully. This is a song that works on the small details, the mixing is incredible.<br />

<br />
I have to say that Clare Maguire's song "The Shield & The Sword" is a mesmerizing piece of music. Its simple in its strong beat, yet complicated and flowing with the orchestrated violins in the background.<br />
<br />
Her use of lyrics is quite effective too, as she repeats "I no longer love you, no longer love you" you get the sense of complex issues behind such simple words. <br />
<br />
Check out her video below for The Shield & The Sword<br />

The prices are usually MUCH cheaper, and they're less tourist mucking about. So, in my tradition of a May-cation (a vacation in May) I headed down to Florida to visit my parents whom live there.<br />
<br />
Now before you read on you should know that I'm not exactly a Florida person. I hate the sun (due to my pale skin), I hate sweating, I hate large insects, and I hate horrid drivers. Florida, unfortunately, has all these things. However, this vacation was an excuse to get away from home for a short while and see my parents. <br />
<br />
Florida is a land of "communities", basically meaning that there are almost no neighborhoods per-say. Most people live in "gated communities" and in between these "gated communities" is a whole lot of nothing. Now coming from a city like Buffalo, which is chocked full of neighborhoods and different districts, I found the whole place so oddly set up. It didn't help that all the streets are numbered, not actually named. So I frequently got last when I meant to take 101st Avenue, but there were 101st St, 101st Rd, 101st Blvd etc etc.<br />
<br />
I did however manage to jet ski and "island hop" while in Florida. My parents own two jet ski's, and its usually their staple entertainment on a hot (and by hot I mean 95 and not a cloud in the sky) afternoon. We rode up and down the international coast way, hoping from island to island and basking in the sun. I myself sat under a tree with 45spf on my face, and 35spf on every square inch of my body haha. <br />
<br />
It was relaxing, not really having to worry about work, or home, or whatever small things that get in my way. I did miss my boyfriend terribly though. I'm a big affection person, and not having someone to hug or hold hands with for a week was taxing on my mind. <br />
<br />
Overall the trip was wonderful, I got to spend time with my parents, get away from the stresses of a normal life, and just be- well, be me. Here are some pictures from the trip. <br />

<br />
Just a reminder Kimbra is a musician hailing from New Zealand (and based out of Australia now) her music is a mixture of rock, symphonic melodies, pop, and a dash of soul. Her latest video"Cameo Lover" highlights her unique balance of all these different elements.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://feedlimmy.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/kimbra-cameo-lover-interview.png?w=490&h=282" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="184" src="http://feedlimmy.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/kimbra-cameo-lover-interview.png?w=490&h=282" width="320" /></a></div>I've always loved music video's that showcase a simple idea but with surprising imagery. Cameo Lover is no exception, with a simple white background and eye popping colors and visuals its a mesmerizing video. I actually started to dance at my desk while watching the video, which ended badly for my elbow which I banged on the corner, though its an injury I'll wear with pride.<br />
<br />
Her music is yet unavailable on the US Itunes, but is expected to come later.<br />
<br />
Check out her video below<br />

First Aid Kit is the fruits of this stumbling.<br />
<br />
Hailing from Sweden (though they seem oddly Texan to me) the duo is made of two sisters. Their musical styling seems like a toned down version of american folk music, but with a more modern twist. Their lyrics are usually simple, but effective and usually harbor a deeper meaning.<br />
<br />
Here is their single off their 2010 album: I Met Up With a King.<br />
<br />

I don't mean that as an insult to any artist, its just me justifying my insane need to dance around my bedroom to get rid of excess energy and thoughtful, provoking lyrics don't really accomplish that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/7573880/tumblr_lheur7D3L21qgkxrzo1_500_large.jpg?1299036462" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/7573880/tumblr_lheur7D3L21qgkxrzo1_500_large.jpg?1299036462" width="400" /></a></div>With that said I present to you the latest single from DEV. You may recognize her as the girl who sings the "Feeling so fly like a G6" in the Far East Movements hit song "Fly Like a G6".<br />
<br />
This song is pure dance pop. And that's just what the doctored ordered. Check out the video below and let me know what you think. You can purchase her new single here (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Booty-Bounce-Original/dp/B003XCQY70?ie=UTF8&tag=buffal-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Booty Bounce (Original)</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=buffal-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003XCQY70" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />) on Amazon for .99 cents. <br />

<br />
I've seen every film made (including shorts) and I've been hankering to re-watch them and get that same sense of awe I did when I first watched them. Todays pick is: <i>My Neighbor Totoro</i>.<br />

The soundtrack normally depends upon my mood, I like fast and up-beat music when I'm driving on a highway, and slow melodic music when I'm on a long side road. Adele, a famous british singer is the perfect artist for a long trip on the back roads.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com/images/6217506/tumblr_legar07QPQ1qb82q8o1_500_large.jpg?1294816606" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com/images/6217506/tumblr_legar07QPQ1qb82q8o1_500_large.jpg?1294816606" width="400" /></a></div>Adele's latest single "<i>Rolling in the Deep</i>" is a unique piece of work, you get the sense of older 1940's influence, but she keeps it modern in a way that is unique to her. It also helps that she has an amazing voice that seems to rise and fall perfectly with the music. Most of her work is typically of the more subdued variety, but this song does have a good kick to it.<br />
<br />

</div>A lot of people I know get the seasonal blues. The seasonal blues are when you begin to feel depressed and stressed with the coming of winter. Some scientist and psychologist say this may be because of the shorter days, lack of sun, and the feeling that there is no life (green space) around you.<br />
<br />
I am somehow the opposite of this. I tend to thrive in winter. In the summer I'm usually frustrated at the intense heat and humidity that affects western New York (FYI; they call Buffalo the Miami of the north). However, in the winter I'm usually active, cross country skiing, down hill skiing, sledding, ice skating, hiking, and rolling in the snow in an attempt to make a snow angel, which I typically fail at.<br />
<br />
I don't know why I'm this way, I suppose its because in winter I feel that everything is quieter, and more peaceful.<br />
<br />
How about you? How do you feel about winter and the seasonal blues?Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08259000788316475387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017281801426560294.post-45538516013983464822011-01-21T13:07:00.000-08:002011-01-21T13:07:18.627-08:00The Art of SpaceI use stumbleupon almost every day, and as any of you whom use it know, the images of galaxies and the like are frequent and always gorgeous.

I'm actually really glad, the Holidays are a time of "oddities" in my life. The stores have odd hours, I'm seeing family members I rarely see, and I can't seem to keep any money in my pockets for very long. <br />

This is the reason I am guest blogging on his blog today. I hope you don't mind. And please feel free to visit my blog: <a href="http://www.dailydouz.com" title="The Daily Douz" target="_blank">The Daily Douz</a>. I would LOVE to have more comments and visitors!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Search Engine Optimization (SEO)</span> is a phenomenon that has been around for at least fifteen years now and is rapidly growing in popularity. It weighs heavily on the technological side of internet and web design but is essential to follow if you want to rise in the Search Engine Rankings (such as Google, Yahoo or Bing). Mind you, I don't claim to be an expert in SEO but I do have two and a half years of work experience in the field and I was priveledged to learn from an SEO guru.<br /><br />There is a whole lot of information to cover dealing with SEO but you need to know the two separate aspects in the field. <span style="font-weight:bold;">ONPAGE OPTIMIZATION</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">OFFPAGE OPTIMIZATION</span>. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Onpage</span> is where you tweak your own website design, meta tags (titles, description, keywords, etc), alt tags, homepage so that everything in your code is SEO-friendly. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Offpage</span> means every effort you make for SEO off your own site (link building, article marketing, directory listing, advertising, social media, blog commenting, etc).<br /><br />Most people understand the importance behind link building and still believe it is the most effective way to promote your blog to the Search Engines. The entire time I worked for a Marketing company in their SEO department, we focused the most on building links pointing to your site(s). The concept is like Google will see the links as "votes" for your website - for every link pointing to your site, Google understands this website is legit and is really about SEO (or whatever niche your blog is about). It is important to know how to insert links onto your pages and where to place them. My understanding is that link farms are NOT SEO-friendly and you shouldn't participate in those at all. The best way I've found to produce results for your website is to add links to related posts that you have written on your site. So if you have a blog post about Photography, you should list all the photography-related links on that blog post, this way all of the content around the links helps the Search Engines know those links are about photography too. Does that make sense? (I really hope it does.) So what is <span style="font-weight:bold;">link building</span> anyway? Well, it is when you put up a link on your blog for someone else and you ask them to do the same in return, all for free. Webmasters usually understand SEO and should look on this favorably. After all, they are getting a free link in return. (One tip: You should NEVER list a link to someone else on your blogroll, or on your homepage. This makes it so every single page of your blog has THEIR link on it when Google looks at it. And that is not very good for you or your website. I only list my own websites on my blogroll or on my homepage, unless it's a sponsored ad where I might make money from it.)<br /><br />Another important Offpage optimization is <span style="font-weight:bold;">Social Media</span>. Twitter and Facebook are probably the most popular in the social media sphere. There are businesses on Twitter, people's pets have their own accounts and various celebrities have accounts as well as the blogging community (us). Facebook is a bit different from Twitter, in that it is mostly a connection site where you can connect with people you haven't talked to in years (high school buddies, distant relatives, or even meet new local people) but they have created a way for social bookmarking to be involved on Facebook as well. You just have to be "friends" with that person usually to see their links. Well Social Media is a way to promote your blog in a viral sense - one that hopefully catches people's eye and they will re-post (ReTweet) about it. That way other people are talking about your site and passing it along without any real effort on your part. It helps to write content that can become viral (such as controversy or something in the news currently). So go create your Twitter account for your website under a similar name as your site and start posting on there like a real person would. Most people will not "follow" you if you are merely posting links and nothing else (that looks like a robot is posting to your account). Be real. You will get more followers if you are open and real.<br /><br />With Onpage optimization, you must focus on the meta tags. What are <span style="font-weight:bold;">Meta Tags</span>? They are embedded in your site's code (or they SHOULD be) and give the Search Engines more of an idea of what your site is about. In your Titles, Description and Keywords, it's crucial to have similar information to your overall content of your site. Keyword Research is another VERY important concept in SEO. You need to research what keywords you should use to help your blog raise in the rankings and help you make money (if that is your end goal) or get more readership.<br /><br />Those are a few of the key points in Search Engine Optimization. I'm sorry I can't give you the full run-down. It tends to get a bit technologically advanced for the typical blog reader so I don't want to overwhelm you with it in the introduction. During my work experience I was able to write for one of our company's blogs here: <a href="http://www.lavaball.com/design_development_tips/2008/02/15/content-links-pages/" title="Content Links Pages | SEO" target="_blank">Content Links Pages</a> and this is what it looks like:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGuooJ3nE6Pvt0ZG0GTzZGoeJbWGFeR8vGjSdMj2IM1F-TpgjVpnac76ifrVoaSJ34pztPvhKlFfHLOSBwzbCXjklQCCJjl1JaexFnjRt6TNW0Ue9iVm3yNuR8-lHNij2hh_mxEwpY0DY/s1600/lavaball+post+2008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGuooJ3nE6Pvt0ZG0GTzZGoeJbWGFeR8vGjSdMj2IM1F-TpgjVpnac76ifrVoaSJ34pztPvhKlFfHLOSBwzbCXjklQCCJjl1JaexFnjRt6TNW0Ue9iVm3yNuR8-lHNij2hh_mxEwpY0DY/s320/lavaball+post+2008.JPG" border="0" alt="Content Links Pages | Lavaball" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552947495296348018" /></a><br /><br />In conclusion, I hope everyone has a great holiday vacation from whatever it is you do and enjoy time with your families!!
