I am delighted to announce that the winner of the Scribd tutorial is Bridget Straub :) Yay Bridget! Drop me an email and I will be happy to spend some time with you on Scribd.
As this Third Writers Platform-Building Campaign has now drawn to a close, I just want to express what an amazing journey it has been for me. I can't believe how many great people I have met, that I now have a critique partner and a critique group, have won prizes on two of the Challenges and have over 100 followers! I am eternally grateful to Rachael Harrie for coming up with such a fab idea and organizing it all so brilliantly. If you don't know Rachael, please take a moment to pay her wonderful blog a visit. I have to say I am exhausted though. I had no idea blogging would take up so much time!
From now on, I am going to try and post blogs on a slightly more regular basis, and I am thinking of trying to post music for the weekend. My first foray into a music blog is to showcase one of my favourite British bands, the Stereophonics. They are a Welsh rock band, originally formed in 1992 and named after the manufacturer of a record player of one of the founder's Dad's.
The main members of the band are lead vocalist and guitarist Kelly Jones (who is sex on legs with a gorgeous husky voice), bassist and backing vocalist Richard Jones, drummer Javier Weyler.
They have recorded 9 albums to date, most of which have topped the UK charts. They have yet to break the US market, so if you haven't heard of them I would thoroughly recommend you give them a listen. It was really difficult choosing some songs out of all their hits to date, but these are some of my favs. Enjoy :)
| Dakota - this is the song that most reminds me of my husband as the lyrics fit and it used to be the ringtone on my phone when he rang. |
| Handbags and Gladrags - this is the absolute best version of this song EVER! |
| Maybe Tomorrow - I just love this single. So cool. |
| Have A Nice Day - this is not only a really happy song but is all about San Francisco and the Bay Area where I live now, so I just think this is great! | > |
I miss the Campaign already, lol. I had so much fun making new friends :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I was just complaining that I need new music and was not impressed with some of the new albums that came out recently. Thanks for posting, I just became a fan of Sterophonics! And the singer *wink wink*
Have a lovely week!
I'm sad this Campaign is over. But, yes, Rachael always does and amazing job with it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, CONGRATS! YOU WON Hilary's THE WHITE ASSASSIN. :)
Please email me your mailing address and I'll ship it out this week.
Have a lovely week!
Hugs,
Lola
Hey Kerri, glad you are a new Stereo's fan.
ReplyDeleteLola/Kerri - yes, I am sad the Campaign is over too, but at least I have met you all and have a moment to say hello to my family now.
Lola - yay! Thank you - emailing now :)
Oooo, I had never heard of them. I love that first song you posted. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteClaire, You are such a trip! I got so much out of reading your blog- it's so full-service. From the "Just be" walking meditation to the great book recommendations to the kick-ass music that I'd never heard before & love- thank you for sharing all this great stuff.
ReplyDeleteinluvwithwords - yay - so pleased you like them.
ReplyDeletembmc - wow, thank you *blushing* what kind words, and so pleased my strange mix of blogging is reaching someone. Do you blog?
