ON THE ROAD: Radiohead
YES! YES! YES! OMG!!! YES!!!
Radiohead has released the first ten dates of it's upcoming U.S. Tour in 2012!!! This is their first major tour in the U.S. in 4 years!
OHHHHH!!! They have been one of my favorite bands for almost 20 years! I swear, these guys are in a league all their own... Their music is inspiring, provocative, deep, and just freakin' brilliant... all with a unique style that only Radiohead can create. Plus, Thom Yorke's vocals are just sexy.
As an activist, their outspokenness of political and social issues such as human rights and the environment, only reinforce my love for the band.
I'm so excited they are coming back to the U.S.

VIDEO: The Commuters - As I Make My Way
Check out this video for "As I Make My Way" from The Commuters. I love the song and really feel like I relate.
Though I've been trying to keep up with tweets and our FB page, I know the main blog has been a little sparse in recent months. Being multi-faceted and pursuing more than a handful of various passions in life, can get overwhelming sometimes. And for me the past several months have been quite a roller coaster...
That being said, after hearing this song, I knew I had to share it. Not only does it have a really good melody and just sounds great...but I love the lyrics.
I'm looking forward to checking out more music from these guys... When a single song can connect upon your first listen, chances are there's more good stuff where it came from. So discover them with me... check out www.thecommuters.com for more about the band. Sign up for their mailing list and get the 4-Song EP for FREE!

"i'm on a journey, i've got my faithYup. Sums me up nicely...
i don't have to worry about my fate
the planets align as the will dictates
i'm writing it out as i make my way..."

SPECIAL: Love and Inspiration on a Train
Last Friday, my boyfriend and I went to Star Wars Night at Turner Field. The Atlanta Braves were playing the NY Mets, and a portion of the tickets we got for the galactic night benefited Stand Up To Cancer. Having recently lost someone to lung cancer made it even more meaningful to attend this night.
It had been a long, stressful day and I couldn't wait to kickoff my weekend. We jumped on MARTA to meet a friend of ours at the Five Points station. While my boyfriend sat beside me, all calm and chill, I was antsy for us to get going. We already drove 45 min. just to get to the nearest MARTA station, and the train wasn't moving.
It was practically empty at the time, except for 2 people sitting in front of us. A young man and young woman, sat facing each other, each of them had guitars in hand. It was hard not to overhear some of the conversation, and I was intrigued. I could tell from the way the woman spoke so passionately about music and love...from how intently her companion was listening, that something special was about to happen.
And I was right.
We had several stops before we got to our destination, and after the first few minutes, the young musicians started to play. Diggin' the strumming, I laid my head on my boyfriend's shoulder and enjoyed the music...and then...
She sang.
I busted out my smartphone and started filming.
Running low on battery, after the first song, I remembered I had my camera with me and got a second video filmed.
I had decided before the first song was even over, that I had to meet them. No way I could get off that train without finding out who they were, so I could hopefully hear more music another time.
She is Atia INk and he is Joe Davis. They are awesome.
You can check out more music (without the MARTA intercom overhead) and information on the links below:
