That Gets Me

Perhaps above all other things, I'm deeply inspired by music.

I was, after all, an aspiring rock star:






Its not a small leap to from get "inspiration" to "oh, yea, MUSIC!" under these curcumstances.

So, I set to work with my Scrapbooking From The Inside Out Kit - INSPIRATION kit to make a layout about how music inspires me...

But, where to start? With the music that I write? The music I listen to? The music that I go searching for when I need some inspiration? The way I click-click-click through i-tunes looking for something that makes me tingle?

I settled for the music that I reach for when I'm creating, which is surprisingly low key compared to a lot of what is out there today...its kind of a 70's or 70s-inspired, mostly acoustic, highly meaningful lyric, girls who rock and guys with long hair, sing along with me sort of music plus the things I grew up on, like U2 and Aerosmith. I like to be able to sing along, sort of mindlessly, as I work.

I have a radio station on Pandora that is exactly the perfect mix: I call it "Lifes Been Good To Me So Far" radio...you know...after the Joe Walsh song.

Anyway...I've never really thought of myself as a pink and yellow kind of girl, but it all worked out rather amazingly:


That shirtless picture with the guitar slung over her back that Melissa Ethridge put on her cover is so seriously sexy.  I love that shot!

REALLY in love with these pinwheel things...they are just the right kind of playful and fun, I think.


What is your favorite music? What do you listen to when you need to be inspired? Anything fun you want to share with the rest of us!?!!?

Peace, ya'll!!

You used to be in a band? Very cool:) Loved your music layout. I think I really just put movies on when I work, but I find that during the summer I do listen to my music. Love Local Natives, Bjork, Radiohead, classic I can go on and on!

Musical inspiration for me seems to flow with what I'm doing. I've discovered I'm a huge Britney Spears/Lady Gaga fan...but only when I'm working out. Editing photos or writing, I want 70's sort of easy listening - the Eagles, Carol King, James Taylor. Driving? I'm all about classic rock. Clapton, the Who, the Allman's.
