youtubing

July 15, 2008

Hey everyone.  Sorry for the lack of penning my thoughts digitally.  My Moleskine is unfortunately receiving more love than this one.

Anyways.  There’s a lot to catch up on, like:

  • iPhone 3G (less than spectacular)
  • my bike trip from Southeast Vancouver to Kitsilano Beach (photo blog coming up)
  • the Vancouver leg of Passion World Tour ‘08 (reserve your tickets now)
  • and more (I need to check my Moleskine)

But I’ll save that for another blog.

Here’s some of the best I’ve stumbled upon youtubing.

I have a crush on Kina Grannis.  Her delicate strumming and entrancing voice makes me feel like jell-o, grape jell-o.

I was coerced invited to go to praiseTEAM’s presentation of Whatever We Imagine.

There was so much talent and giftedness in the room that you didn’t even have to try to enjoy it.  They put on an energy-saturated performance that was nothing short of spectacular.  The dancing was a blend enough to satisfy everyone’s tastes.  Their rendition of Joyful, Joyful made goosebumps run up and down my arms and then made my feet want to dance. Ray-An was awesome (I can’t find the words).  They also gave the crowd a treat by performing their award-winning piece Arcadia.  It was enjoyable from end to end.

Wendy, you killed it.  Stellar performance guys and girls.

I’m pages away from the end but I think I have enough to make this review–and besides, I feel a need to exercise my brain muscle because it’s in a state of demi-atrophy.

I picked up This Is Your Brain On Music: The Science of A Human Obsession because I love music.  Actually, I don’t think it’s the music so much that I love, I love what comes as a result of music.  Music is a means to an end.  Music is important because it’s often that it isn’t so much the end that defines the trip, but the route through which you get there.
