My New Baby!

My wonderful hubby has been squirreling away little bits of money of a long time for some mysterious reason. This week I found out why. He was saving money for my graduation gift... a brand new guitar!


To be exact, an Epiphone Prophesy SG EX! I cant tell you how beautiful this guitar sounds and looks! The kicker is.... I cant play it until I graduate, and because of some scheduling issues that wont be until August at least! She will stay protected in her hard case, and her Vox Mini5 am anxiously waiting to be used. I dont mind, I can stare into her black smokey burl wood and beautiful inlays and just dream of the tunes I will learn. Take that mom!

Cool Music: Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip

I have been listening to Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip for a month or so after my husband turned me on to them after hearing one song on NPR (that will tell you how hip we are :P ). I liked them when I first heard the song my husband found, but for some reason it took a while for me to actually research them a little bit. I have totally fallen in love with them! Their lyrics are awesome, as deep and complex as another great rapper, Eminem (to give you an idea of how difficult Eminem's lyrics and phrasing is, even Weird Al commented on the complexity while creating his infamous parody). The difference from Eminem and other rappers, Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip rap are smart and intellectual, and have nothing to do with what 99% of rappers rap about. This is what rap should be: deep, thought invoking and beat driven. To make it even better, the vocalist has a British accent... which is something that is rare in rap etc. Take a listen!





Oh, and here they are on X-Factor!
