Today Is A Good Day
In part because it's a beautiful Monday morning, but MOSTLY because Fiona Apple has announced a new tour. HOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!
Y'all, I have loved Fiona Apple since I was a wee middle schooler and have yet to see her in concert. I'm pretty sure this is the one thing that might make my life, well at least my musical life, complete. I will definitely be seeing her at the Ryman, but I hope to catch her in a few other cities as well.
These are the cities where she'll be playing this summer [along with their onsale date and time]:

[People are RUDE!!! I would never even utter a whisper at a Fiona Apple show, especially if she were playing new material!]
Now, it wouldn't be Your Friend Lela if we didn't address her looks. I'm not so upset about her thinness because Fiona has always been kind of frail looking [however, she might be able to whoop your ass with those arm muscles], but THIS
HOMEGIRL. First of all, you know better than to wear a scrunchie in your hair! I know you got famous in 1996 when they were all the rage, but this is 2012 honey!! Scrunchies are only to be used when washing your face- it's fashion law! Second of all, can we do something about the hair? Just anything really. Fix the bangs, give it a little color. You know, make yourself looks like you are doing your first show in AGES. That'd be nice.
Ok, now that we have that out of the way, I love you, I looooooove you, Fiona Apple!

BA of the Day
This video is pretty fantastic despite the fact that it kind of looks like they just filmed it in one of the Twilight movies.

Music Monday- I'm Confused
Confused because.....I think I like a Justin Beiber song???
It must be a sign of the end of the world.
Heard this on my Handy Dandy XM earlier and thought "I can kind of get behind this song." I mostly can get behind it because it sounds like somebody took the clean edit of "The Whisper Song" and NSYNC's "Girlfriend" and mashed them all together with a sprinkle of Beiber.
What do you guys think?
As A Follow Up.....
An Open Letter to John Mayer:
Dear John,
You are a very handsome man and surely that is not news to you. But recently, you've been doing this thing. You know the one, where you dress kind of gross? And you wear those awful boots? And you don't wash your hair? You know, that thing.
But really, really and truly I can still look past all of those things, but there is one unpardonable sin that I just cannot wrap my head around and it is that HAT. Hats in general are great. I thoroughly enjoy being able to decorate my head. But that particular hat that you've been wearing? What the What???? If you were the Grand Marshall at the Mule Day Parade then I would allow it, but you sir are doing nothing but ruining your good looks!
Put the had away. And maybe trim your hair. And call me!
Love,
Your Friend Lela
Mayer Music Monday
Some of my happiest and saddest moments of 2012 have come from announcements from John Mayer. New album? Good! New tour dates? GOOD! Voice is messed up again and cancelling everything? BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.
However, I can't hate too hard because the new single really is quite good, and that album is still coming out in a few short weeks. Due to this set back with his voice, we are supposed to be expecting another new album from him next year which will be exciting and hopefully will make all of this waiting worth it in the end.
Too Creepy Not To Share
This is the new anti-drug campaign. Ok, it isn't but it should be. How amazingly effective would this be? "This is your life and career. This is your life and career on drugs. Any questions?"
I mean, you can literally pinpoint when the drugs started. So sad. Get yourself clean for good Lilo!
MUSIC MONDAY
Yesterday, when I was sadly driving myself back to Nashville from MULE DAY festivities, I was enjoying my windows down, sunroof open ride and browsing my XM when I landed on this song. I listened to the whole thing and tried to place the voice. I knew that it was an artist that I was familiar with, but it just wasn't clicking. Turns out it was the new single from Brandi Carlile. Duh. If its an amazing female voice on XM, I'm just going to assume it's her from now on. I wish I could've listened to it on repeat, but darn it, that's the one problem with the ole satellite radio.
Anywho, the single isn't out yet so I had to find a semi-janky video on YouTube to share, but the quality is good enough that you're probably going to want to watch again and again just so you can hear this songbird's voice.
