Hey guys!  So I just wanted to touch base with you all and update you on a few things going on in my life!  I actually have been going to a lot of shows and working with some amazing bands!  Here is a list of some of my new favorite bands that I really recommend you check out!!  Let me know what you think and obviously I would love to hear your suggestions!

My first recommendation is the band The Script. I actually filmed with them so you guys will get to check them out when the fifth season of The Hills airs. They are an amazing band from Ireland ~ very good!!!

Links is another amazing band!! I actually discovered them at a show this past weekend and loved them right away!  Their sound reminds me of Kings of Leon, another one of my favorites.

I've been listening to The Fray a lot lately and I'm so excited for the release of their newest album on February 3rd,  so be sure to pick it up!

Vedera is another great discovery.  Kristin, the lead singer, has a beautiful voice!

Last but not least, Bless the Fall is awesome!  It's a little harder than these other bands but I love them!!

Here's another playlist for you guys! I decided to go the total opposite from my dance mix and make one for when you are feeling mellow. Some of the songs are older, but they are definitely great for when you just need to chill out and listen to some good tunes.

Ozzy Osbourne - See You On the Other Side
Coco Rosie - By Your Side
