I felt something impossible for me to explain in words. Then, when they took her away, it hit me. I got scared all over again and began to feel giddy. Then it came to me… I was a father. ~Nat King Cole
So Sunday is Father's Day and I thought what better way to celebrate than with a list of the 'Hottest Dads In Music'...a totally self-serving list I realize but it works for me and I'm OK with it.
So if I left anyone out...feel free to leave your hot dad choices!
I am off to Montreal with my sister, cousins and brother's girlfriend to go see NKOTBSB in concert.
And cue screams of delight.
The 18-year old girl in me is very, very excited. She's making me go to this concert. Forcing me really. The 18-year old girl in me gets all full of serious attitude and becomes unbearably bitchy when she doesn't get her way.
So last week through the power of Twitter and my blog on The Musgraves, I connected with a fab singer/songwriter from the UK by the name of Stylusboy. He has a great new EP out called 'Whole Picture' which I love. It's charming, sweet and poppy.
So next thing you know we're chatting away on Twitter and email and I managed to sweet talk him into doing an interview.

The Last Day Of Summer is the newest single off Sweden's Johan Agebjörn's latest album, Casablanca Nights.
The video depicts the Queen of Hearts in a top notch array of high end posh couture. Some of the outfits (like the bridal headpiece) would have one Lady Gaga swooning.
It's that perfect chilled out, breezy track for those summer nights, that you wished would last forever.

Oprah's last show ever. I'll be watching and I'll likely shed a few tears too.
And to celebrate Oprah's last 25 years...musically speaking...here is a walk down memory lane of some of the performers that have appeared on the show.
"Beautifully crafted Pop-Folk songs that capture a tremendous sense of effortless energy and emotion showing a song writing ability well beyond their years and far above that of you're average band. Undoubtedly they have potential to go far..." ~BBC West Midlands
I often sing the praises of DJs...how they can seamlessly connect layers of music in one constant flow, as they create and maintain the mood and energy of the crowd and listeners they are out to entertain.
Bottom line they have mad skillz and I wish I possessed that talent. But for the record, I did kick some ass at the whole creating a mixed tape thing....I was lightening fast at that record stop, pause technique on my Sharp Dual AM/FM Cassette Player Boombox. Word.
