Introducing... The Ads!

You might have already noticed the little changes that I made to the layout. Ads! What the heck does he need ads for? Well every now and then I like to put on some links to songs that I really like and share the love. The iTunes Music Store lets me do just that. Pick what I like and get nice looking banners along with it as well as a small percentage of the sale if you buy the song that I link to. Pretty cool isn't it?

And it really is stuff that I like, no one messes with my editorial integrity here. I say what I think and you comment on it (if you'd just get used to comment on the blog instead of writing me e-mails about it) no "here are 10 bucks say J-Lo is awesome" nah she won't fit in here (hehe). By the way, one of the banners was not provided by iTunes, can you tell which one?

So let's get right down to the first 3 recommendations that I have this week and i hope I can have some every week, but honestly it's just based on what I listen to right now every time.

Right away I should be fair and say that I don't totally dig the the music of Nikka Costa currently, but I found that image quite captivating. Great photography I must say. But the Morcheeba album is quite nice, especially the first song Wonders Never Cease with an intro that sorta feels like a warm summer rain and that sliky voice of their new singer, ah gosh that gave me goose-bumps the first time I heard it. And yes do we need to mention the Lascivious Biddies? My favorite band of the moment. I had a little badge on for the last wee before I did the big banner here.

Oh hey! Amanda Monaco from the Biddies also published a book recently at National Guitar Workshop's which you should check out if you're into learning how to become a divine jazz guitarist. Congrats Amanda!
