An irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired

Roses are red, violets are blue, Dj D’lish has something for YOU! From the candy hearts, to the dancing teddy bears and bouquets of flowers, to the decadent chocolates and the revealing lingerie, Valentine’s Day means something different to everyone. If you’re single, you’re probably saying “Cupid is stupid” & complaining about how every day should be I love you day (which I kind of agree with). If you’re in a relationship, you’re most likely spending time with a loved one. Regardless of how you feel about Valentine’s day, it does get everyone thinking about romance and relationships. So whether you’re with your best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend, share your love through the songs, because…Music is Love.

Special Valentine’s Day quotes:

“Love is a symbol of eternity.  It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.” Unknown

“In melody divine,
My heart it beats to rapturous love,
I long to call you mine.” Unknown

“If you have Love, you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have.” Sir James M. Barrieve

In my spare time, I often like to write. This is a short poem I wrote last year and I wanted to share it with you for this special occassion!

My Valentine’s Day Poem: Together As One         

Hold me close but let me breathe

Walk beside and not in front of me

Touch me softly, touch my soul

Reckless abandon without letting go

Feel my heartbeat race with time

Pumping love to you who’s mine

Talk of life and laughs of joy

Tickle me inside like a child’s toy

Stare with longing, I’ll gaze at you

Forever knowing, I want you

Kiss me with the power of sun

Embrace our life, together as one

Believe in Music: 2010 NAMM show & MLK Weekend Events

“Before there was an industry or an association, there was a belief…in music. That belief led to a mission: to unify, lead and strengthen the global music products industry and increase active participation in music making.”

Today is the opening day of the 2010 NAMM show (The National Association of Music Merchants) in Anaheim, CA. The show is from January 14-17 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Invitations open only to industry professionals & their guests.2010 NAMM Show

About Naam: NAMM is a not-for-profit association that unifies, leads and strengthens the $17 billion global musical instruments and products industry. NAMM’s activities and programs are designed to promote music making to people of all ages. NAMM is comprised of more than 9,000 Member companies.

With a plethora of international retailers, manufacturers, and instruments, the 2010 NAMM show promises to offer the most innovative, newest products to a slew of anxiously awaiting consumers. With 250 exhibitors, the show is also expecting a substantial amount of celebrity appearances, such as Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, Yoko Ono, Quincy Jones and more! The NAMM show is not only a place to view these new products, but a playground to explore and learn about the most recent technologies through training seminars, meetings, and personal mentoring.

Among other events this MLK weekend, I am VERY excited to attend the NAMM show! (I will hopefully be posting pictures after I attend on Saturday). Other exciting events are happening this weekend in LA that I’d like to share:

Saturday January 16: Laidback Luke @ Avalon Hollywood

Songs of the Season

It’s that time of year again. Whether it’s Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Winter Solstice, Seasons Greetings, or Happy Holidays – most of us, with the help of commercial retail, are getting into some kind of holiday spirit! (Unless you’ve chosen to side with the grinch) 🙂 The weather has finally cooled off in LA, fireplaces are turned up, iced coffees have been traded for hot cocoa, (you now think it’s ok to put a cute little sweater on your dog-ok maybe that’s just me) and holiday lights paint city with an angelic glow. In this post I am going to list my favorite Holiday music, including Hotel Cafe’s Wintersongs from 2008. Enjoy and stay warm!
