As reported by Billboard magazine https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8473626/david-archuleta-christmas-every-day-exclusive , Multi-platinum selling artist David Archuleta has released his brand new Christmas album Winter In The Air  via The Orchard (digital) and Shadow Mountain Records (physical product). The album is already in the Top 10 on iTunes Holiday charts and is available at all digital retailers: http://geni.us/ArchuletaWinter .

Winter In The Air features 12 tracks including Christmas classics such as “White Christmas,” God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Mary, Did You Know?”  In addition to co-writing the lead single “Christmas Every Day,” David also co-wrote the title track “Winter In The Air” and “He Is Born” for the new set. 

“Christmas Every Day” captures the holiday spirit with David’s hopeful and cheery lyrics –

Sidewalks covered up in snow
Lights up everywhere we go
Santa’s on his way,
It’s Christmas every day
Friends all warmed up by the fire,
Sometimes I just wish that
I could always feel this way
Like it’s Christmas every day

If I could have one more gift just for me
Joy to the world it would be
With more Christmases under the tree.

David says: I tend to gravitate to more serious and slower Christmas songs. This time I wanted to have some fun and write a song that would make people happy and feel the joy of the holidays. With the help of Dave Barnes and Cason Cooley, I’m thrilled with how our song “Christmas Every Day” turned out! It makes me happy.

Winter In The Air is David’s second Christmas album since 2009’s Christmas From The Heart release.  Christmas From The Heart has made a return to the charts every holiday season and has sold over 250K copies to date.  The album peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Holiday chart and Top 30 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album chart.

In support of the new release, David will kick-off a month long tour beginning November 26 in Los Angeles and will wrap up on December 21 in Utah.  Other cities on the trek include New York, Orlando & Nashville.  Click here for ticketing info:  https://davidarchuleta.com/home/live/

Freaky Friday

I Was Dreaming Like A Texas Girl...
Lady Gaga & Rachel Bloom

File this under: Photo Ops you thought you'd never see. Bear witness to mega star Lady Gaga and off the beaten path TV star Rachel Bloom from My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend @ the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's 3rd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards in Beverly Hills, CA.

OK, so they were both there. But, what made them interact with one another? What was the draw for them (meaning Gaga) to actually want to get with Bloom for a photo? I ask you, I know you don't have any remote idea like me, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Gaga is a closet fan of My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? Because I can 100% guarantee you Bloom is a Gaga fan, since pretty much everyone is!

One other theory, maybe they want to be each other for a day....

Freaky Friday indeed!

Michael's Musings

Current Mood - "High Art"
Michael Shinafelt

So this past week - yeah you know what I mean. Now is the time to be artistic, be, be artistic! 

But is it High Art...???

High Art is one of my all time favorite films, thus it inspired me for this week's column 

I love foam! F#cking foam!

Play your cards when all the Beto's are off!

Breast Feed or don't. Who the F#ck cares!

Hey Demi Lovato, sending positive vibes your way

The Trump press conference yesterday. let's talk about fake news....

My place  now smells like bleach & carpet fresh spirit

Sometimes you feel like a whore, sometimes you're moderate

Dr. Suess always nails it!

Close encounters with sex toys of the human kind is there anything more euphoric???

Just Because...all of you are hot

Today I will use my powers for sex

I'd like an awkward Victoria's Secret moment

Some of my friends like actually like the film Bohemian Rhapsody - "Yes" really

"Yes" it's raunchy and off color, but it adds some levity to my day and maybe yours, or perhaps not...

Whichever way you view it, you have a voice and you should exercise it today. If you don't then you have no right to complain.

I will be hitting the polls after my Abs & Spin Class this ayem. Join me in the back booth won't you? Yeah, I figured you would.

E.G. Daily Is "So Pretty"

If I Was The President Would It Be Evident...
E.G. Daily

"See me from the inside, inside out" - So Pretty, E.G. Daily

E.G. Daily is a music and film icon. She really hit big in the 80's with the movies Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Valley Girl. Oh and then there is her pop hit Say It, Say It. 

There is so much more beneath the surface. "Yes" E.G. has a new single and movement out "So Pretty." - Aren't we all more than meets the eye?

Are you ready? Let's get E.G!

MS: So can we talk "So Pretty?"

EG: It's basically like, um, I was writing for soundtracks for films. So I wasn't really thinking about it for myself as a song. After I wrote it, I had this really strong feeling that I needed to put it out. I felt this needed to be coming from me. So I financed it, and worked with my two partners. Now we need to get it out. It's a very important message. it's really timely, about what's going on right now. No matter whether you are a male or a female, young or old, we are judged on our outsides as people. and it's not fun, when you're busy watching yourself all the time. Why don't we be present so we can connect better.

MS: Oh Yeah. Since I have gotten older and I'm sure you will concur with this, you do care less about that stuff.

EG: Yeah, we are getting older, how much can you play? I like dressing up just as much as anyone else. I like taking care of myself, but it's no longer the priority. The priority is about connecting with each other. 

Look Inside!
E.G. Daily

MS: The less we care the more fun we have.

EG: That's my favorite message of all, once you stop worrying about yourself magic happens. Once you get off yourself and start to be present in your day to day life that's when magical things will occur. 

MS: I am obsessed with the gym and diet of late, while I get attention that isn't the reason I am doing it.

EG: You want to be healthy and take care of yourself. Yeah, you definitely want to take care of yourself especially as you are getting older. It's definitely about the bigger picture.

MS: Health is everything.

EG: I agree!

MS: It is the bigger picture, it's not like I am focused on that solely. There are a lot of other things going on.

EG: What's interesting about that is we asked people to send in videos to us about what lengths they've gone to, to be beautiful. It's funny because we got as many Men as we did Women. They would say they did things to harm themselves by not eating enough, or over exercise...some of them did surgeries that put their lives at risk, So, that's the thing. At what lengths do we go to to please other people? So when we got these videos in, it was every age range and every demographic, Male & Female.

MS: I'm not surprised. When I was young I felt pressure for that.

EG: Everyone no matter what age puts pressure on themselves about how they look on the outside. At what point is it healthy and not healthy? Where is the fun? You need to have fun! 

MS: I love being in my 50's!

EG: I do too! I love seeing my kids getting bigger and being more mature adults, it's so beautiful. 

So Pretty

MS: From a Mother's perspective how have you seen this affect your daughters?

EG: They've dealt with their eating issues their whole lives. A little girl wishes they could have the body of an older girl, an older girl wishes they could have the body of a younger girl. My daughters are very much about fashion and beauty. But, we make sure they are taking care of their insides in our household. You could have two hundred people around you doing your make-up, hair, wardrobe and nails and still not feel good about yourself. That's more of what the movement is about, That's why we have a crowd funding going on, so we can get the message out there globally.

MS: By the way Have you seen A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga?

EG: Yeah, I loved it! I thought Gaga was beautiful and transparent. I thought Bradley Cooper was great. It was a lovely movie.She got to show her talent, she's the real thing. She's real and is connected to something "So Pretty." 

Here's the 411 on all that is E.G!

Just Because...Courtney Love

Feel The Love
Courtney Love

Just Because I love her music. Just Because the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the bomb & Just Because I can. It's a Courtney Love kind of Sunday!

See Courtney attend the Gucci Guilty launch party @ Hollywood Forever. Hey she don't wanna be buried in no Pet Sematary...

I have been a fan of not only Courtney Love's music with and without her band Hole. I am also a fan of her acting. She brings a feral quality to each of her roles and a presence to the big and small screen like no other.

Thus it's great to see her out and about and would be even better to see her act and make music again sometime in the very near future.

Today's Sunday Commandment is do something outside of your comfort zone and bend it like Courtney Love. 

Mic Drop.
