OMG you guys. I am so in like with UK band OnlyReal right now. Great track called “Cadillac Girl”. I dig.
It's not your fault your music sucks.

Don’t forget! I’m going to start posting the 365 at the Misplaced Music tumblr:
So hey. Let’s throw down some local music love for Minneapolis band International Karate. Cause…yeah. The new album is pretty great.
Oh, and did we mention it’s name your own price this weekend? Awesomeness!

It’s not October 1 yet, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of work going on behind-the-scenes as I prepare to fully join Misplaced Music.org!

Listening to my first stack of music for Misplaced Music and Ben Rosenbush & The Brighton has the honor of being my first cd.
Click here for a sneak peek at Misplaced Music’s upcoming tumblr blog. It’s not totally done yet, but it’s still pretty awesome.

I said I wasn’t gonna do it. I wasn’t going to post a day 366. But I’m sorry, having your picture next to Prince’s on The Current’s homepage? And the sitting a row away from Brother Ali on your flight to NYC the next day? Awww yeah. Priceless.

Alright, so here’s the deal. I’m gonna lay some major nerd down on alls y’all right now.
My parents were obsessed with this song.
Okay, maybe obsessed isn’t the right word, but let’s just say that my parents thought it was imperative that we played this song during all of my important life events, you know like birthdays, every single prom when my date came to pick me up (there were four, and yes, it was embarassing), when I left for college, you know “moments”.
Anyway, as I grew older, this once mortifying experience soon became kinda sorta endearing. Whenever I’d hear “The Brandy Song”—as I affectionately called it—I’d turn the radio up a little louder or nonchalantly dance around in the department store and enjoyed the simple surprise of 2:55 seconds devoted, well, to me. And to this day, I can’t help but absolutely smile with I hear this song because of all of the memories associated with it.
I’m actually smiling right now as I type the post for this final song of the day!
Everyone should have their very own “Brandy Song”. So, today I’m turning the tables and dedicating my song to all of you.
Song of the day is “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” by the Looking Glass.
Much love to you all. I’ll see you guys October 1 at Misplaced Music and 15 Minute Conversations. And of course, periodically right here at the good ol’ 365MP.
Cheers,
Brandy

365 Music Project: The Next Chapter.
Dear readers,
Today is the day! It’s the last day of the 365 Music Project.
It’s also the moment you’ve been waiting for.
Where I share what will happen next with the 365 Music Project!
It’s also the moment you’ve been waiting for.
Where I share what will happen next with the 365 Music Project!
I can’t even describe to you what this day feels like. I am elated, sad, excited, reminiscent, thankful, happy, and joyous. I wish everyday felt like today.
While I’ve enjoyed my time with all of you during the 365 Music Project, after much consideration, I think it’s also important to respect the integrity of what a 365 project is, so I share with you that I am letting the 365 Music Project formally come to it’s close.
Now, before you guys all send me weepy emails (which I’ve appreciated BTW, so thank you for the kind words), I promise that 365MusicProject.org and everything associated with it will still remain. Heck, you guys might even see me post on here from time to time.
But.
In the heralded and cliched—yet surprisingly fortuitous words of Minneapolis’ own Dan Wilson— “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” So, it’s with that, that there are a couple of new projects I’m incredibly excited finally share with you!
The first is music!
That’s right! I am staying in music—and specifically local music. I am very excited to share with you that I will be signing on as Program Director and Blogger for Misplaced Music. I am elated to partner with Peter Wannemacher and continue doing exactly what I’ve been doing with the 365 Music Project—just not as frequently (girl needs a life, yo).
A little background on Misplaced Music: they are a local, non-profit organization in the Twin Cities dedicated to preserving and sharing local music. They’ve been around for the past seven years+, but I bet you haven’t heard of them. So, I hope that together we get to change that and support local music.
The second is another year-long art project called 15 Minute Conversations.
One of the things I learned during the 365 Music Project is that everyone has a story and experience to share, it’s just that they need someone to ask. We are in a time in history where people have lost the ability to just converse and learn from one another. To put down the phones and have real moments.
So. I want to see what happens when I attempt to have one, 15-minute conversation with a stranger each week. I encourage you to follow 15 Minute Conversations here and join in this journey with me.
As of today, I am taking some time off. About a month, exactly. I’d like to have time to reflect on my experience of the 365 Music Project, do some background work for Misplaced Music and 15 Minute Conversations, and spend some time on my personal life (see above: girl seeking life).
So. Let’s plan to rendezvous back at the 365 MP corral on October 1. And together, we will start the next phase of our journey together.
