Well if I HAVE to watch the 'mercials....

Ok, you all know by now how much I desperately miss my TiVo, so in the meantime I've decided I'll use this time to do some good (since I'm dying inside!!!). You see I've been looking for new music lately so here are a few songs that are surprisingly commercial inspired (way to sell out bands - thanks! no, really, make the mullah where you can!!)

• kia: here
• allshaft: (editor's note: I HATE allstate but I LOVE lifehouse so it's bittersweet as I post this) here
• bluegrass roots: (ok it's not a commercial per say but fills my young kid bluegrass familiarity and has been advertised as coming to sea lately) Woods Brothers - BONUS!! They're coming to SEA THIS WEEK! Stay tuned...hopefully I'll go :)

Random links I like:

• Beau/Elizabeth/Baby Jake - miss you guys!
• last.fm or 99x.com to listen to music at work
• amazon.com duh!! ;)
• Underrated music blog - she has lots of good lesser known artists/music to explore
• Text twist [ed. note this is a VERY addicting game so don't even start it unless you are ok getting hooked forever and ATTEMPTING to beat my 300,000 score...]
• Seattle Rentals - more than just the apartments, I like the overview of the diff neighborhoods in case you're curious about the local 'hoods...
• Piperlime - SHOES!! Free shipping AND free returns. It's like shopping in my living room. Also TrueJeans is cool for moving the dressing room into the comfort of your home - girls you can measure yourself in the privacy of a dark room and enter all your stats and attributes of pants you like and it tell you exactly which brands/styles/sizes will be good for you. Pretty cool! Also you can enter "truegenes" as a promo code and get 20% off! Wow. I should get a commission.

Ok I'm sure I'll add more shortly...stay tuned once again!
