The Revenge of the Music

Did I do something? o_O

Recently, a bunch of aspiring musicians began following me. No, not in real life (I checked), but on Twitter. When the fantastic kids from Nashville called The Nearly Deads came calling, I joined their ranks like a zombie LOL Since then, the fun hasn't stopped, but now I'm curious.

It is not only American and Canadian singers and bands, but also British musicians as well! o_O I don't know what to make of this. Don't get me wrong, some of the music they produce is great, and way better than I could do. I am reluctant to watch music videos, so if I do listen to music it is without the distraction of video; like movies, you never know what you are going to see, unless you know what to expect. Live performances are the exception to the rule, and those are always HIP ^_^

What was that?! o_O (Phil's phone vibrating on desk) Ooo, popularity!

What does this mean: Am I slowly writing my way towards becoming a publicist? Will I become an entertainment guru of the Canadian music landscape? Am I the next Ben Mulroney? O_O

Perhaps I should play something musical? At the start of the year I decided to return to music by playing the piano more than twenty-years after my last recital, and learning how to play the guitar and harmonica. There is enough confidence within me to suggest if I was ever in a life or death situation, when I absolutely had to play something new on the piano, guitar, or harmonica to save my skin, I could walk out of that situation alive and ticking, ^_^ mostly. o_O

I had a music challenge with an American friend (Hi Jessica), and thought I uploaded it. However, sound quality with a laptop computer made in 2007 isn't that great when paired with today's modern technology, so I must redo my Music Challenge song by deleting all my songs, and upload new tunes. Once I join their ranks, I can start chasing impressionable youngsters and following them (...on Twitter, not real life o_O Come on, guys. That's what I meant, guys).

Tweet Dude

I'm taking a little time out to promote some followers ^_^ Why are they following me? o_O I don't know, but they seem like HIP people!

Andrew Hudson is a former Ohio State college football player turned collegiate baseball player. I suppose he found me through my baseball blog, nevertheless it's always nice to know someone out there reads and appreciates my stuff! Plus, he's a Christian, and that's always AWESOME! His posts are so encouraging, and will definitely put a smile on your face :) Hi Andrew! Ah, Ohio State University. I have a miniature Riddell helmet of theirs hanging on my wall; I think it looks much better without all the Marie Juana stickers on it, although I understand the significance behind decorating your helmet with the little stickers. You can get stickers for everything from winning a game to throwing the challenge flag on a suspect ruling on the field, and not losing a time out.

Chloe Cahill is a singer out of New York City. She started following me on Twitter last week, and I didn't know what to make of this development until I googled her name, and found her YouTube music channel ^_^ She can sing really well, however the number of subscribers to her channel is a bit too low, if you ask me. Listen to her Christmas album, which she posted on her channel, and you will agree she is HIP ^_^

Finally, because he does nothing but tweet all day, and he uses Twitter whenever he can I must promote him: My good friend Andrew Smith! Initially, he had a twitter account so he could check up on scores from the weekend softball we participated in a couple of years ago, but since then he couldn't put Twitter down LOL
