JDM video anyone? anyone???

I mentioned in an earlier post that JDM was being featured on a local TV show, Evening Magazine. While I missed recording his appearance on Martha Stewart, I did get this local interview.

He talks about growing up in the Seattle/Kirkland area, cheering on the Seattle Super Sonics basketball team, and his own dreams of playing pro basketball. Of course, they also talked about filming "P.S. I Love You" and him being a bit star-struck over working with 2-time Oscar winner Hillary Swank (who is also a Washington native). It was a cool interview, with photos of Jeffrey from his high schools days.

I'm planning on converting it and uploading it for people to download, but I must admit to being a little miffed over the lack of interest in JDM from my posts. 'Course, I understand people are probably busy with last minute Christmas tasks. LJ has been kinda quiet lately. So I'm debating about when I should post this. Maybe I'll just wait until after Christmas, when (hopefully) people will have more time and interest in it.

So...are there any JDM fans around here that would be interested in this video?

Songs of the Season: The Holiday Edition - Day 18

I'm going to try to post one or two several seasonal/holiday songs a day. These will come from either my own CD collection or my online findings. I'll try my best to make a post each day and we'll see how many I can get done by Christmas day. These songs will run the gamut: from traditional to modern takes on old classics. There will be country, pop, jazz, oldies, big band, new age, comedy....anything and everything. And don't think that if you don't celebrate Christmas that there won't be anything for you. Not all of the offerings will be specific to Christmas. Some will be just about winter. They will all be favorites of mine and I'll give you some info. and why it's my fave with each song. Happy Listening!

Note: I'm using SendSpace for all of these downloads. If you have any trouble getting a song and would like me to use MegaUpload instead, just let me know and I'll try to get it up for you there.

I will also have each of these posts available to all for one week and then will Friends lock them.

Day 18 --

Christmas Is A Birthday -- By Burl Ives from "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas".

A lovely reminder of what Christmas is really all about. I don't know why, but I often get this song's chorus stuck in my head....it's so pretty with the choir's voices blending so nicely.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year -- By Andy Williams from "The Andy Williams Christmas Album".

A celebration of why this time of year is so wonderful!

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer -- By Gene Autry from "The Best of Christmas, Volume 4".

The classic and best-selling song about the most famous reindeer of all.

Ding Dong Merrily On High -- By The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra from "Christmas Choral Classics".

I love the sound of this track...rousing and glorious!

Jingle Bells -- By The Mills Brothers from "The Best Of Christmas, Volume 1".

This is a great and jumpin' version of Jingle Bells!

*** I'd love a comment if you're downloading any of the songs, thanks! ***
