Rock of Ages CD review

- brandy3

 


I got to listen to Rock of Ages soundtrack thanks to the One 2 One Network.

excerpy from One 2 One

New Line Records just hammered the in-store release of the Original Broadway Cast Recording of five-time Tony Award nominated “ROCK OF AGES.”  For those of you not in the know, Rock of Ages is the new Broadway musical starring American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis. Set in 1987 in a legendary Sunset Strip rock club, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the greatest metal songs of the 80’s. The musical is an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and more.  

here is the track listings

Just Like Paradise / Nothin’ But A Good Time
Sister Christian
We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands
I Wanna Rock
We’re Not Gonna Take It
Heaven/More Than Words / To Be With You
Waiting For A Girl Like You
Wanted Dead Or Alive
I Want To Know What Love Is
Cum On Feel The Noize / We’re Not Gonna Take It (Reprise)
Harden My Heart / Shadows Of The Night
Here I Go Again
The Final Countdown
Any Way You Want It / I Wanna Rock (Reprise)
High Enough
I Hate Myself For Loving You / Heat Of The Moment
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Can’t Fight This Feeling
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Oh Sherrie
The Search Is Over
Don’t Stop Believin

When i first got the CD i thought wow all my favorite bands/singers and songs.   Knowing that the original singers were not going to sing on the CD, i was still hoping it sounded good. unfortunately it was really bad. The guys that were singing sounded like girls.  It didn’t even sound like the whole song was sang.  Maybe it’s better if you see the actual Broadway show. The CD  though as Simon Cowell would say “that was dreadful.”  It was whiny and girls were singing songs that were really only meant for a guy to sing.  I didn’t like it, but if your a Broadway buff you can find this CD on amazon

Solo cup photo contest

- brandy3

It’s summer and tons of partys/get togethers are going on. As a hostess i rely on disposable cups and plates to cut down on clean up time.  I hate how small the cups are though. I have guests come over who have big hands and they try and grasp a little cup.

Solo has introduced a new line of cups designed for a more comfortable and reliable hold.  The Solo squared single use cup.

To celebrate Solo is having a photo contest with a grand prize of $5000 dollars.  all you have to do to enter is upload a photo of you and a Solo squared cup to www.SoloCups4ever.com and you’ll be entered to win.  Plus 2 runnerups will recieve $1000 and many more will win solo products and gift cards. CONTEST ENDS 8/14/09 so hurry!

thanks to mom select for letting me know about this contest

Back to school tips with Peter Walsh and Officemax

- brandy3 2 Comments

 

 

 

I recently got to watch a outstanding webcast with Peter Walsh, and some special guests to answer all of our back to school questions. The guests were a award winning teacher, a mom, and two students.

School starts in just a few short weeks, and i’m going to share some great organizing tips.

  

Tips for your child and backpack:

  • cleanout  your backpack and binder once a week                             
  •   make homework space, clutter is bad for concentration
  • teach your child how to ise a backpack, lots of pockets
  • color coding can help with small children

For the home:

  • Give yourself time to organize
  • show you value organization and make it a family value
  • use the right tools for organization
  • declutter, and see what school supplies you really need to buy
  • establish a routine for you and family

    Tip for giving back to teachers:

  • Teachers spend $1200 a year out of pocket on school supplies So instead of giving th teacher an apple give them school supplies!

OfficeMax sent me some school supplies from the  Scoolio Von Hoolio, a kid-centric line available at OfficeMax.   I think they are adorable and perfect for my little girl starting school. i love how everything coordinates together, and the hearts, flowers and owl are so cute.

For all your school supplies visit OfficeMax
