I had the wonderful luck to catch these guys at a concert in Austin, Texas, without even knowing who they were. The band, Athlete, was on tour with Switchfoot, doing the show opening. I remember trying to memorize parts of the songs as they sang them so that when I got home, I would know what to search for so I could get them online. I think their show was even better than Switchfoot’s.
This is yet another great track of theirs called Hurricane, a follow up to their song Half Light, which was also really good. The only thing they could redo is that awful album art.

Inspired by the famous Lemony Snicket’s “12 Books in 120 Seconds” and with a touch of near-midnight madness, I made my first video summary of a book. My first pick is naturally Erec Rex: The Dragon’s Eye, by my friend Kaza Kingsley.
If you were subscribed to my YouTube Page, you had the special privilege of getting to see this 2 days before anyone else. I only spent an evening on this video but I do think it still turned out pretty good. I am trying out a variety of videos so I may be doing something different next…or another book review.

I had never heard of Leona Lewis before this song, but she was the winner of the third season of Britain’s American Idol equivalent, The X-Factor, featuring the great Sharon Osbourne as a judge. Leona’s song Bleeding Love is also the biggest selling single in the UK.
She also happens to hold the record of the fastest-selling downloadable song, for her remake of Kelly Clarkson’s ‘A Moment Like This’, selling out 50,000 copies of the song in just 30 minutes. I’m left a wretched heap that I completely missed this one for so long: and I thought I knew music…

In which I go through a typical day in my life as a guy in college, as told through my meals. Tell me how you like this video: it’s my first one with my new Flip camera and my first real video blog to make.

Check out www.top5live.com for the absolutely, completely, totally, out-of-this-world brand-new website for my show. This is the first time in at least a year that the show website has been completely redone, and now there’s tons of new features that I’m sure people will like.
Every week I will not delete the past show, but will begin to keep an archive of shows online. I will also be building the archive of back shows this week, so you’ll get them later on. Also, there is a new tab for Get On The Air: I’m letting people upload recordings of themselves to get their voice on.
Coming soon: a 1800 number to call to record your voice intro-ing the show. I already have it but I just have to make sure it all works right!
