snow in april, what more could you ask for?

So everyone has ventured home for Easter, and I? I was stuck in Lexington covering the press conference of our new head coach, Billy Gillispie. Welcome, Billy G. The Kentucky Kernel is putting out a special edition tomorrow, so if you're going to be in the Lextown area, pick up a copy.

With this newfound free time, I've decided to listen to some recommendations from friends. A good pal of mine told me about this guy, Mika. I listened to what he had to offer on is Myspace and initally was turned off. I didn't like, didn't like his style. It felt like it'd be done before, and I was just listening to another Brit-pop sensation.

But later that night I happened to see the music video for "Grace Kelley" and my thoughts on this guy changed.




Now, I'm going to admit. It's campy and pop-ish, but sometimes we all need a little bit of that. At times, Mika manages to sound like Freddy Mercury, which honestly gives me the chills. So, while it might not be my all-time favorite to come out in 2007, it'd definitely a toe-tapper. Or something one would listen to in the car with the windows down and volume turned way up.

That is, if it were warm outside.
