Keep San Antonio NOT Lame :: Milli Mars

Posted on February 10, 2012 | Leave a comment

I have a confession to make, and it will probably get me in trouble one day, but I really do not care for San Antonio… I love people no matter where they are, but that black cloud I’ve managed to avoid for most of my days becomes a heat seeker the second I’m inside San Antonio’s city limits.

With that being said, there is a WEALTH of talent that holds it down for Sa-Town.  One of the many artist making a name for themselves is Milli Mars.  If you haven’t already checked out the video for The Alarm, get off of front street and do that immediately.

Because I love you all, I did a little digging around, and I found the album, YMID, on SoundCloud.  The entire thing bangs… dig:

A Star Is Born :: Carrie McKinley

Posted on February 10, 2012 | Leave a comment

I’ve known that my friend Carrie McKinley was a pianist for years.  I remember her expressing a desire to begin writing songs back in the day, and I’ve seen the want to be able to eventually perform her songs or write songs for others to perform.  In the waning days of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, Carrie finally began to make those dreams a reality… enter Anchor, the debut project.  A five song journey through the thoughts and feelings of a truly beautiful individual, this album is a highly anticipated must share…  for fans of music with substance, definitely.  I’m just happy that I was tapped for the album artwork, because when Carrie is famous, I can say that I was there from day 1.  Click on the album cover below for a quick fix:
