Marley // Doc Diaries
I grew up on reggae music; It’s in my soul.
And I’ve been loving and singing Bob Marley since I can remember. If you open one of my dad’s guitar cases, you’ll still find they lyrics and chords to at least a few Bob Marley songs. And when I get pulled up on stage to sing, my first choice is always “Stir It Up”. Of course I had to see this documentary. Read More »Vows x Kimbra // Album of the Week
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon Kimbra’s music video “Settle Down”. It was a little strange and creppy but the music was bangin — and although marriage and children are not really my style (HA!), I loved it.

If you didn’t know, I have a bit of an obsession with The Sing-Off, the a capella singing competition on NBC. It’s in its third season and it’s the best one yet!
Leading the pack this year is a group of truly amazing vocalists — Pentatonix! They started out as a trio of high school singers, and joined up with a bass and percussionist for the show. From the first episode they were the ones to beat, and they push the limits of a capella with their “futuristic” club style — and blow my fudgin mind week after week!
No surprise, they made it to the finals and now it’s time to vote! So do it, people! Call 1-877-674-6401 and/or text “1″ to 97979, 10 times each! Voting closes this Sunday at 4am Hawai’i Standard Time.
If I haven’t convinced you enough, take a look at their performances this season. They’re stellar.
I wanna know // Are you watching The Sing-Off? Who’s your favorite group?
Vote!

I’m more of an album listener, not a song listener. Sure I’ve wasted a little bit of money in the past (I’m looking at you, T.I. And you, Selena Gomez.), but for the most part I like the entire album experience. Here’s a look at my newest albums. And while they’re not all new, they’re the newest to my ears.
- Ways & Means x The Green
- Kind of Blue x Miles Davis
- Nostalgia, Ultra x Frank Ocean
- Autobiography x Ashlee Simpson
- Revelation Pt. 1: The Root of Life x Stephen Marley
- Yours Truly x Sublime with Rome
- Wake Up! x John Legend & The Roots
- Watch The Throne x Jay-Z and Kanye West
- 4 x Beyonce
- Body Talk x Robyn
- Thursday x The Weekend
- Science & Faith x The Script
- Gold x Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Basher x Nick Lowe
- Greatest Hits 1970-2002 x Elton John
- The Greatest Hits x The Police
And a few notes:
- I’m lucky enough to have known a couple of guys in The Green almost my whole life, and to sing with them with their old band. Their music is dope, you should buy it.
- I have been steadily obsessed with “We All Try” by Frank Ocean for months now.
- Liz tweeted about Ashley Simpson a couple weeks back, and it brought back a ton of memories from high school, when I first started driving, and working at Billabong. Her first album was my jam back in those days!
- Stephen Marley’s “False Friends” is legit.
- I’m pretty excited to possibly see Sublime with Rome in concert soon!
- Gold was inspired by Matt Mitrione’s walkout music (“Simple Man”) at UFC 137
I wanna know, do you prefer to buy albums or songs? What new music have you purchased lately?
Cheers,
