Naama Kates "King for the Day"

Naama Kates

"Imagine if suddenly everything happened your way

Oh wouldn’t it be grand to be king for a day, everyday?

‘Stead of sitting around watching old patterns repeat

Nothin’s shakin; just makin’ ends meet" 

- "King for the Day" Naama Kates

Naama Kates is back, after her critically acclaimed debut "The Unexamined Life" and the hit single "Before You Lose It" Naama has released the first single and video "King for the Day" from the album of the same name, which drops March 12...!

Ms. Kates has this to say about the song: "I wrote it when I was working on"The Unexamined Life", it was the first song I wrote after that record, while it was in production because I felt like, I was kind of living this dream really that I didn't even imagine, having my record done by this amazing producer, its like a lot of musicians' dreams when they come to LA I think".

I first met Naama when I interviewed her for the album "The Unexamined Life" for "Chorus and Verse" http://www.chorusandverse.com/content.php?id=20120428A

As a fan, I am looking forward to the new album and seeing her perform live at The Silverlake Lounge on March 13th, coincidentally the day after "King for the Day" is released.

Naama's style is uniquely her own and it works! As Naama describes it: 

"I think my music has a lot of sort of different time period sounds and styles in it

but mixed together to make something new:and a little humor, a little sexy, smart and simple. Its just perfect".

Here she is "King for the Day" Ms. Naama Kates...!

As a fan of the first season and a blogger/journalist I was invited down to the evening shoot at The Faultline Bar in Los Angeles, CA to check it out, a shout out to Joe Dietl, Ben Zook & Rick Copp - thanks for having me!

While I can not give anything away that I witnessed being filmed I can tell you two things 1) You will see me in this years season and 2) Things are definitely getting harrier. Was that vague enough for you?

So instead of continuing to tease you with what I'm not allowed to say how about I show you some behind the scenes photos I took? Yeah, that works...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

What could be possibly be happening in the The Bathroom?

Sandy Zacky "Love Is Everything"

Sandy & Her Husband Ron

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone ! On this day of love I thought I would check in with "Entertain Me"s favorite Chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky.

Sandy has been a busy performer with a Birthday Tribute of her music on "Oldies Your Way" with Bud Francis www.oldiesyourway.com . 

Also not one but two programs on Donna Linn's "Show Me Talk Radio" one called "Sandy Zacky Radio" www.showmetalkradio.com .

The other for the lover of life & people that Ms. Z is a Valentine's Day Gift "Love Is Everything - A Valentine's Day Special" with her singing partner Mike Clifford www,showmetalkradio.com/jukebox.php .

Ms. Zacky recently celebrated her 50th, yes that's right, her 50th Wedding Anniversary with her husband Ron. So who better to wish you all a Happy Day Of Love than Sandy with a "Y" -

Here with  Valentine's Day wishes for everyone is Ms. Sandy Zacky...!

1) I wish everyone love. All kinds of love. Partners,kids,friends,pets heroes, anyone that brightens ones life and makes them smile on this day or any day.

2) Sharing with one who may not have someone in their life to make them feel special. Call them, send a card, an e-mail, whatever lets them know you are thinking about them.

3) Complement someone. Someone you know, or better yet, someone you don't.

4) Smile at everyone you see that day. Even though they may not return the smile somewhere in their heart they're feeling it. 

5) Don't forget to call a loved one you may not have spoken to in awhile. It will make both of you feel good. Somehow we forget the ones we should never forget. 

6) Also,I don't care what anyone says, a box of chocolates,preferably See's, because all others, Godiva, or whatever is "the" chocolate of the day may be, nothing beats SEE'S,(even though I can't eat candy).

Bring on the See's! with Sandy at:

TV Watch: "Dallas" Is Back...!

Who knew the original nighttime soap from my youth would be back, in a big intelligent way, oh and it's in season deux...!

Yes, it's "Dallas" and in many ways, I think it's better than the original series. They took the older cast and story lines, and combined them with the new cast which equals - TNT - Turner Network Television.

Not that I want to give the story lines and characters away to the uninitiated....but it picks up with the offspring of the original Ewing clan...

With JR Ewing's (Larry Hagman) offspring, J.R. Ewing JR. (Josh Henderson) and Bobby Ewing's offspring Christopher Ewing (Jesse Matcalfe) ...facing off!

The lovely Jordanna Brewster (Elena Ramos) and Julie Gonzalo (Rebecca Sutter aka Krebs) join them as two of the hottest and smartest females on TV....

Also who would have guessed that the voice of "Desperate Housewives" Brenda Strong would show up in such a significant and strong role (no pun intended) as Bobby Ewing's (Patrick Duffy) wife.

Oh, and Hello Linda Gray as "Sue Ellen Ewing" or as "JR" says it..."Swellen" ...nice to see  you again.

We all know that the late great Larry Hagman has passed away. They will be including JR's funeral in the second season.

Cheers to the re-boot of "Dallas" lasting a spell.

EG Daily Is "Wide Awake"

My friend EG Daily has just done an amazing, quite raw cover of the Katy Perry song "Wide Awake" I wanted to share it with everyone and check in with EG herself about her thoughts on it...

MS: So you recently went viral with a video of you and a piano player covering Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" I loved it!

EG: It's my favorite Katy Perry song, I got with my piano player, and I wasn't going to post it because I thought it was so raw. Me in my living room my piano player, Lee Miles and I playing around with the material....then I thought: "Fuck it, post it"!

MS: It's really funny, I'm not a huge Katy Perry fan but I really like this song.

EG: The song is really good, right? It's a great song.

MS: Totally!

EG: I didn't think I liked it until I heard my piano player playing it one day and I said how beautiful the song sounded, he said it's the Katy Perry song, I told him it didn't sound like it. Then we started messing around with it, and I told him how much I loved it, good lyrics, good song.

MS: The lyrics are amazing, the best thing about it. Very healing, things are so rough for everybody right now.

EG: Yeah Honey, I know.

MS: Your cover is really raw, but I like raw.

EG: I do too, it's the real thing.

MS: You are completely Fucking awesome when you are raw!

EG: You are so sweet! It's a cover that I love and it's a beautiful song.
