It just gets better and better

This morning I was very excited to get an e-mail from Disney saying that Pirates of the Carribean III will be out on the 21st November. I was just thinking the other day it must be coming out soon. Not sure why we’re getting a few weeks before it’s out in the States – not that I’m complaining. Might start watching I and II again before III comes out. I think No.1 is the best movie EVER made – pirates, romance, Johnny and Orlando – does it get any better than that?

Now, I’m back from the gym and checking e-mail again and now I find out Ricky Martin’s concert CD and DVD is going to be out in a few days. Looks awesome (there is a preview on the website) and oh, boy, what a yummy cover (would like great on the cover of a romance novel).

Gee, can’t wait to check my e-mail again this afternoon. Don’t good things come in threes?

Well, I’m quite excited about Bruce Springsteen’s new album “Magic”- which comes out early October. There is a preview video clip on Amazon and it’s fantastic. Can’t wait to hear the rest. And it’s extra exciting cause he’s back with the E-Street Band. Yay!!!!

Musical Monday

Posted on July 16, 2007September 5, 2007 by Libby Withnall

Well, it’s Monday morning which means cleaning downstairs. Usually I put on music to make it more enjoyable. Today, however, with the kids home and Amy sick, the TV is on and I’m missing my music. It made me stop and think how important music is. While I also value peace and quiet music makes me feel happy. I always have the radio on in the car or a CD playing (except right now I’m listening the audio CD of Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix). I can remember really getting into music in about 1982 (when I was 11) when the ever popular compliation albums started coming out. However, my earliest love was Bruce Springsteen. I discovered (along with many others) in 1984 with Dancing in the Dark, and have remained a huge fan ever since. I’ve been to every Australian concert ever since – think there have only been 3. He was also a big influence of me and he inspired me to learn to play the guitar (gave it up at University). I also played in a band for a VERY short time.

At the moment I listen to a lot of Robbie Williams (who I only discovered last year) – he’s great to listen to at the gym. I’ve been a long time fan of Madonna – but I did go off her for a while. I don’t buy a lot of CDs but the following are automatic buys

* Enrique Iglesis * Ricky Martin
* Gloria Estafan * Jewel

I also like the Celtic Rock bands “Off Kilter” and “Wolfstone” . I’m sure there are othes I can’t think of at the moment.

Anyway, time to get back to cleaning….without music….
