I have some very gifted and talented friends and we got together a couple weeks ago and recorded 5 Christmas songs. We started our new tradition last year and we hope to continue it for years to come. This is our gift to our friends and family and I hope you will enjoy it as well. Click here to download.

So to add to the YouTube music clips, I found this great video of U2 performing The Unforgettable Fire recently on their U2 360 tour. Not only is this a great video, I am so excited to see them perform this great song live. I don’t believe they’ve performed it live since the late 80’s.

I’m loving this new album from a great band called Doves. Kingdom of Rust is, in my opinion, their best album so far. Most albums have 1 or 2 standouts and the rest are either mediocre of throw away. But this album’s songs are pretty equal. And they’re all good! So I highly suggest giving it a listen.

U2’s first single from their new album, “No Line on the Horizon” is here. “Get on Your Boots”, listen here!
