Better Than Ezra Channel on YouTube

19 05 2009

I’m so excited about all the new things coming from my favorite band lately - new album, new drummer (but I miss you, Travis!), and a new tour.  They’re also tweeting now, but I’m not into Twitter, so that one isn’t so exciting for me.

The new album, Paper Empire, is typical Better Than Ezra.  A great balance of fun, catchy pop songs and lush, melodic ballads performed by a truly talented group.  I can’t wait to see the band perform the new tunes live.  Seeing BTE live is always a great time.  They know how to put on a fun, high energy, rocking show.

In addition to the new album and tour, BTE has also launched their own channel on YouTube – the aptly named BetterThanEzraTV.  Their first feature on the channel is the music video for their new single “Absolutely Still.”  Check it out below.  I love that the video starts with Kevin, Tom, and a couple of ladies making crafts like we make during storytime at the library – you can make anything out of toilet paper tubes, crayons, glue, and scissors!

Enjoy!





April Reading

6 05 2009

I’m still making good progress toward reaching my reading goal for the year.  I’ve actually started aiming for completing my goal by the end of June now.  In fact, I’ve already met my goal for J books.  YA books are coming along, too.  I just need to figure out how to fit in more Adult titles.  Hmmm…

April tally:

  • Adult books read: 1
  • YA books read: 2
  • Children’s books read: 5
  • Graphic novels read: 1
  • Audiobooks heard: 4

So that’s 12 Adult, 6 YA, and no Children’s books left!
