Stagecoach 2014 Newsletter - Edition #5

Can you believe another week has already flown by?! Time is moving so fast nowadays - it might as well be Christmas already! But before you turn your radio stations to Christmas music on KOST, go and grab your Peppermint Mocha and take a look at this week's Stagecoach newsletter. Let the thoughts of another year ending take you down memory lane...

*****MUSIC*****

"The one that got away." I hate that cheesy description but it's SO true. How could I let Ryan Gosling run back into Rachel McAdams arms? This playlist will take you through my love story with Ryan, from puppy love to a walk down memory lane. What we had was so great. He was so great.

"The one that got away" Playlist

*****NEWS*****

1. Is there anything Charlie Worsham can't do? He did an awesome bluegrass cover challenge of "Roar" and "Eye of the Tiger": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq81NRQcu14#t=14 - Besides music, Charlie will be using his acting chops to appear in an upcoming episode of Bones this season (Bones airs on Fridays at 8pm on Fox).

2. The Wild Feathers Facebook page has this description about their unique sound: "They're like if Led Zeppelin & The Band had a baby in Joshua Tree that grew up listening to Ryan Adams covering the Stones 70's country influenced songs." Here's a cover of The Grateful Dead's "Tennessee Jed" - http://www.jambase.com/Articles/119894/Cover-Alert-The-Wild-Feathers-Tackle-The-Grateful-Dead

3. Chris Cagle and Baytown GMC and Buick are partnering to raise funds for charities in Houston by raffling off a 2014 "Chris Cagle edition" GMC crew cab SLT. The truck includes custom work, a six-inch lift kit, power running boards and a bull bar.

4. Dan + Shay reveal how the duo met...a living room tent at a house party. “I’m walking into the living room, and there is just a tent … it was borderline fort-ish,” says Shay. Dan explains, “I had no money to pay for heat, so I went to the thrift store and bought a bunch of sheets. [We] tented out the whole living room, and we retained all the heat in there. We all just hung out, huddled around … Shay and I were jamming that night, and we’ve been writing three songs a day every since.” Weird, but I like it!

5. Just a reminder that the American Music Awards on Sunday, 11/24 - 8pm on ABC! Check out performances from: Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, and many more!

Have a great rest of the week!

Peace and love

Stagecoach 2014 Newsletter - Edition #4

Is it just me or does anyone else have a case of the Monday blues? No traffic, empty streets, beautiful weather....yet some of us are at work today? This is an injustice if you ask me! Well to distract you from work (as an act of protest!), put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and just let the music take you away.

*****MUSIC*****

Mondays suck. So does heartbreak...and not getting Veteran's Day off. Here are some songs that probably match your mood but are so good you might forgive your boss for not considering today a real holiday.

1. Brantley Gilbert - "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1jCm_NEdfk

2. Jason Aldean - "Do You Wish It Was Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4zq3TNtDWw

3. The Wailin Jennys - "All The Stars" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avHSkYV7ZEQ

4. Hunter Hayes - "What You Gonna Do" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QnTZxKu1a4

5. Easton Corbin - "I Can't Love You Back"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl1f0IBCTds

Spotify Playlist:

https://play.spotify.com/user/kellyyu/playlist/4Lozcr6NbgM6mmKsifSNdW

*****NEWS***** 1. Jason Aldean was on "Good Morning America" last week to open up about his cheating scandal (he was caught photographed with American Idol contestant, Brittany Kerr at a LA bar last year - he filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years this year.) "You know, obviously there were things going on in my marriage at the time where it just wasn't really happy. You go out and you kind of let your guard down a little bit and things happen, and unfortunately ... it's tough," said the singer. The singer and his wife still remain close. 2. Ruth Moody, one of the founding members of The Wailin' Jennys, made her debut as a solo artist a few weeks ago. She never planned on being a solo artist, but when her fellow band mate got pregnant, Ruth continued to write and record. “It was scary in a way to go out on my own,” Moody says. “I’d been doing this 16 years, and never done my own tour, the only front person. I’ve always been in a band. I think there was this niggling feeling that it was time to challenge myself.” 3. Hunter Hayes is working on new material while he's wrapping up his tour. He's deliberately taking his time on the record - "I've got some demos I'm finishing up now. I've got about 60-some songs I've written for the next record. I finally feel like I've got enough material to pick my favorites from and go, 'OK, once again I feel like I"m honestly representing myself, I'm saying what I want to say. Nothing's missing.' I didn't sit and write another 'Wanted' or another this and that." Can't wait! 4. Easton Corbin is lending a hand to help the Dodge Ram truck brand with their "Year of the Farmer" campaign. He and the FFA Foundation will hit up 12 cities across the US to help reduce hunger issues in America. That concludes this week's newsletter! Be sure to read the CMA Awards recap! Some really good stuff on there. :)

Peace and love

In Simon, I believe

Not a huge fan of the contestants on the X Factor this season, but I do love Restless Road - the group of country singers that Simon put together. I'll be keeping a close eye on them for sure!

The Voice - Live Rounds 20 (Team Ceelo and Team Christina)

If you don't want to watch the rest of the performances I post, that's ok. But watch this performance from Christina. It's SO GOOD.

Stagecoach 2014 Newsletter - Edition #3

Ok. Everybody needs to just CALM down. There's been a ton of energy from us bouncing around from buying tix, lodgings, and realizing that $240+ has now vanished out of your bank account. So let's take it back a notch and just melt into this week's playlist. Take it away Hunter!

Howdy ya'll!

I refuse to ever be in space - I love oxygen and gravity way too much.

The AM Report: Thurs. 10/24

1. Nora Jones and Billy Joel Armstrong have teamed up to create a cover album of the Everly Brothers (a band from the 1950s). Album should be due out on Nov. 15 and it sounds SO GOOD!

2. Gravity just hit the $300 million worldwide mark!

3. Multiple rumors about the delay of the Entourage movie: one rumor has it that Jeremy Piven has a sweet deal of cutting some of the profits if this movie is a huge success in the box office; and now all the guys want in on that deal. Another rumor is that Jeremy Piven is delaying production because he wants more money from the movie. Who knows.

4. Interesting fact - Bruce Jenner was NOT in invited to Kim/Kanye's huge engagement spectacle at AT&T Park. Now the big question...will Bruce get invited to the wedding??

The Voice: Battles Round 4

A quick recap of the last battle round:

I was really excited to see Holly Henry battle it out, but they only showed a clip. Still happy that she made it passed the battle round!

A great battle between Olivia Henke vs. Stephanie Anne Johnson. Christina seriously surprised me this season - great team, great coaching.

And now off to the Knock Outs!

#tvrecap

The AM Report: Tues. 10/22

1. Kim and Kanye's engagement: I mean was renting out AT&T Park necessary? Go on ahead and add a 50 piece orchestra playing Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful" , have your family run out of the dugout, and of course, buy a 15-carat ring. The life of the rich and famous... I'm curious to see where this goes as the Kardashians don't have a great track record of marriages....drug addition, married for 72 days, and just being a complete loser (Scott Disick). And btw, Kris Humphries gave Kim a 16-carat ring. 2. Bieber's antics in Houston were all over the news yesterday, but since a picture surfaced of him at a bar holding alcohol, that bar might get their liquor license revoked. Nice move. 3. It's Twilight's 5th anniversary...theaters are showing movie marathons of the series...mostly in New York, but it's happening. 4. U2 has some new music out - "Ordinary Love". It's in the trailer for the new Mandela trailer. Sounds really good! [song comes in at 1:02] http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/u2-slip-new-song-ordinary-love-into-mandela-trailer-20131021 5. Some warm and fuzzies for your Tuesday.

The Voice: Battles Round 3

All the performances were pretty good tonight, but here are the highlights from tonight's episode: 1.) Austin Jenckes vs. Brian Pounds: "To Love Somebody" - Team Blake

Austin really reminds me of Ryan Innes last season. He definitely has the soul and power in his voice. Ryan didn't make it too far into the season, but I'm glad Austin is advancing. Definitely rooting for him. (Ryan from last season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIKGHEZzuC0) 2.) James Wolpert vs. Will Champlin: "Radioactive" - Team Adam

I was really biased during this battle - James won me over during his audition so I was rooting for him even before this battle, but Will shocked me in this performance. Will nailed this so I'm glad Christina stole him. I hope James goes far - he's down to earth, a little nerdy; kind of like Michelle Chamuel, the runner-up of last season. He epitomizes what The Voice is all about - it's not about how you look. It's all about the music and passion. 3. James Irwin vs. Matt Cermanski: "Counting Stars" - Team Adam

Love this song, love the performers. They both did amazing. The last round of battles is tomorrow - I can't wait! Excited to see Holly Henry perform!
