My Current Interest

             For the longest time I didn’t realize Imagine Dragons had released a new album.   I kept hearing new songs from them in different places, but I thought they’d simply rereleased the same album with some additional songs attached.   This is something I know other musical artists have done, so I didn’t bother to look into the music I was hearing.   It wasn’t until a figure skater used one of Imagine Dragons’ songs in her program that I decided to see what I may be missing.   As I a result, I found out I was missing an entire album.   All that music I had been hearing was not a rerelease.   It was part of an entirely new piece of work, and I had to check it out.                       Right from the start of Smoke + Mirrors I could tell that Imagine Dragons had stayed true to who they are.   The sounds and beats are the same as their previous album, Night Visions , but not so similar that I would mistake them for the same album.   I was very happy about this, because s

             I must say I am surprised I am writing about The People’s Couch .   For the longest time I was embarrassed to admit I watched it at all.   I would catch pieces of it on the sly because I did not want anyone asking me why I was watching something so strange.   It’s not the usual type of thing I watch, as I tend to stay away from most reality-type shows, but there was something about this one I liked.   There was not anything in particular I could put my finger on as to why I did, but now I have figured it out.   The show is hilarious!   I find myself laughing through practically every moment of each and every episode.   It’s hard not to, because the people on it are so funny.   Now that I have this figured out, I will fully admit that not only do I watch this show, but I enjoy it as well.                 The premise of The People’s Couch is very simple.   Groups of people watch TV shows and the viewers watch their reactions.   That’s it.   The different groups consis

            Recently I have been hearing the song “Hey Brother” on TV.   It has been with two different ads (which two I don’t remember), and I have been ecstatic to hear it every time.   This is because “Hey Brother” is my favorite song off of Avicii’s True album.   For the longest time I have wondered why I never heard this song anywhere because it is such a great song.   It’s a shame that most people probably haven’t heard it.   Maybe now that it is being used in ads, they will find the song and listen to it in its entirety.   I know that was exactly what I wanted to do, especially since it got stuck in my head.   Once that happened, I knew I had to stop and listen to the entire True album.                 It is my understanding that Avicii is not a singer.   He seems to be involved in every other aspect of making an album, but not the singing.   Instead he relies on the vocal talent of others, such as Aloe Blacc (“Wake Me Up”), Dan Tyminsky (“Hey Brother”), Audra Mae (“Addi
