Music.
I wish I understood music better or had more musical talent, but I love love love music. Besty introduced me recently to a great new talent in the Broadway world: Scott Alan. If you get the chance watch this video of Shoshana Bean singing Home or this video Stephanie J Block singing Never Neverland (Fly Away) (fyi Shoshana swears a swear while introducing Stephanie.) Scott Alan is indeed a talent.
Music is playing constantly while I am in my office.
Some of the music I love:
Barenaked Ladies. Okay so Steve has left the band and they need to find their new sound, but I think the Ladies will bounce back from it.
The music from Lord of the Rings is what I listen to when I have a bad day and need something calming. I know not all of the songs are calm, but for some reason it really calms me down.
Adele has such a great voice. I personally think she has a rich sound that she will only improve on.
Similar to her I adore Jennifer Hudson's voice. Did you catch Dreamgirls? Oy vey that girl has a set of pipes.
My female crush cannot go unmentioned: Queen Latifah (aka Dana Owens) I admit I do not like rap, but to hear her soulful voice, oh man!!
So while I do not watch American Idol after the Sanjaya year (puh-lease!) I do admit I really like Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, and David Archuleta's voices.
Fountains of Wayne, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, Mika, The Fray
Broadway Soundtrack favs: Little Women, Jane Eyre, Hairspray, Wicked (of course), Spelling Bee, Curtains, Legally Blonde, Mamma Mia, Spamalot, The Boy From Oz, The Drowsy Chaperone
For a really funny and witty show: Look up Dr. Horrible (no Dad it is not a disease sailors get in the Phillipines... duh)
Today I am grateful for music and for those who were blessed with this talent. Name your favorites ...

I also listen to the Lord of the Rings soundtracks to calm me down. I also find they are very non-distractive while working!
