Pop Music selection of the week
Friday, December 12, 2008 at 10:28PM
Hittting that Thursday deadline has been a challenge the past few months, but whatever. Here's my selection of the week and instead of one song, I'm recommending the entire album.
I'm a big fan of Sara Bareilles and I had the opportunity to see here live at the Fillmore in San Francisco, on my birthday -- July 12. During the concert she said that she was recording a DVD, but what I didn't know was that the show would be mastered into this live album too - bonus! It's like another little keepsake along with my Fillmore poster :)
Attending a concert is like no other musical experience (for me anyways). Still this recording stands strong with my memories of that night. A lot of her banter with the audience was cut, but I think you will still get a sense of her humor, and maybe some insecurities as well. She's pretty funny when rambling about the history of one of her songs.
Highlights: her rendition of "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay", "Vegas", "Love on the Rocks", and of course "Love Song".
Oh, and this is the first time I've used the LaLa widget. Let me know what your experience is like.
Enjoy!

The widget works wonderfully for me. It plays and everything. I'm not a member of lala, either. Great widget :)
it works, sort of. I'm no Member, nor am I a US citizen (so I can't become a member). But the tracks play, and just like in iTunes it's 30 seconds. I like it :D
It works fantabulous for me ... and I LOVE her voice..
This is an awesome CD ... Thanks for sharing
