What I'm listening to...

Before I delve into today's post. Just want to bring your attention to the right-hand side of the blog. Every time I mention an artist in a posting, I'll be adding their name & link to the "Notable Sites" listing, that way it's easy to find who've I've talked about and easy to find them!

That said...Here's today's posts.

With a new album review on Tuesday, song scores yesterday, I'm listening to music today. Here's how I listen...I turn it on and make notes in my "Music Diary" so that I can look back and reference my initial reaction AND since I assign a percent to each song (percent, as in, what percent chance does it initially have at being played on Total Axxess) I can also look back and see how good my gut feelings were on those initial listens.

That said, here are a few songs I've listened to that are worth mentioning:

• Barlow Girl - "Beautiful Ending"
• Robbie Seay Band - "Miracle"
• Chasen - "On and On"
• Kutless - "What Faith Can Do"
• Remedy Drive - "Heartbeat"
• Sanctus Real - "Forgiven"

Diary thoughts? Here they are...

Barlow Girl - "Beautiful Ending"
- Darker
- On JQ99 = 60% / On Total Axxess = 70%

Robbie Seay Band - "Miracle"
- Not bad...Good Chorus
- On JQ99 = 50% / On Total Axxess = 70%

Chasen - "On and On"
- Smooth...Good Sound/Chorus
- On JQ99 = 40% / On Total Axxess = 80%

Kutless - "What Faith Can Do"
- Ballady...but Not Bad
- On JQ99 = 60% / On Total Axxess = 80%

Remedy Drive - "Heartbeat"
- Eh...Catchy after a while.
- On JQ99 = 30% / On Total Axxess = 65%

Sanctus Real - "Forgiven"
- Okay...but Not Great. Chorus is good.
- On JQ99 = 50% / On Total Axxess = 70%

*Percentages are my initial reaction as to what chance that song has of being played on JQ99 and Total Axxess, respectively.

So...We'll see what happens. I'm very excited about the Chasen song. I'd really like to give you a sample, but...I can't find it on YouTube, Their Website or MySpace, iTunes, etc. AND I don't feel right uploading part of the song...Don't want to break the rules. So...the only chance you'll have in the near future to catch a sample of it, is in a Music Test on JQ Family Rewards. Not a member? Sign up today...it's easy, free, and you could win some prizes.

Anyway...That's enough for now. If you have any thoughts...Toss 'em in the comments!
