There are some questions on how this site ranks each artist and clearly none of us have an idea...we all have our hypothesis but that is just an eduacted guess. I do know there has to be many factors that take place in ranking an artist and at this point I don't want to speculate. I don't have that authority.

What I do want is these artists to feel like they are welcome here under no false pretences and that their music will get the opportunity to be heard without bias or trickery. I feel bad that my bands group is No. 68 as we are not a musical group and if we could be replaced with an artist, then please go ahead and make that change! Us fans are here to listen to music, interact with the artists, blog about life in general or sometimes get our own views heard!

I have so much love and respect for these artists who have the courage to put their music out there...the music world can be brutal, unforgiven and downright cruel but it can also be rewarding, heartwarming and a launch pad for those who really have what it takes! If I can speak for everyone here on this site, if there is a success story for any of these artists, we have nothing but the best of wishes and pure joy for you!

One more thing, we all as individuals have a right to question anything in life, that is our humanistic nature and to be villified for asking such questions is simply not fair! We all have a right to be heard!!!

All my love,

You've got a way about you....your harmoinca plays for my ear, your piano takes over the room, your melodies make those sad feelings go away. I don't know what it is...but I have to smile when you reveal me.

You've brought me back to the first time I heard you...that sweet sound that put me to sleep. The bouncy beat that woke me. Each day is different....my mood is ever changing and still you are there! You will always be there...as you are the soundtrack to my life....

You are and will always be my first love and that is you....MUSIC!!!]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:40:22 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/My-first-love http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/Wondering-what-happens-after-we-favorite-an-artist http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/Wondering-what-happens-after-we-favorite-an-artist#comments

A song from years ago, as I just told 2Serenity about Aaliyah's "back and forth"...that came out the summer I met my husband! I remember smiling at him in a room full of people watching her video. Or I will embarrass myself just a bit and say that bonnie tyler's "I need a hero" reminds me of this book "Witch" by Christopher Pike I read in the 7th grade. These are just a few examples of why music will be a part of my everyday routine, life and my heart!!! There is nothing like hearing a song that has just put a smile on my face or even made me a bit sad. That is pure emotion and that IS music!!!

To my Fuzz Artists: I look forward to listening to your music that suddenly takes me back!!!

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCHES!!

I am telling you all this because these Dentists have it locked down!! I just payed another $500 which I won't see much return from my insurance company because let's all be honest here, Dental Insurance is only good for cleanings and x-rays. I swear I have paid out over $1500 this year and today I got to hear about their lavish vacations coming up, etc.

I really picked the wrong profession although I don't think I could do what they do. I saw him struggling today and really I don't have monster teeth!

So I sit here typing away...hoping my advil doesn't wear off for another hour or so and weep for all the money that I spent at the Dentist's office. All for that perfect smile right? RIGHT!

Thanks for listening!

LOVE TO ALL!]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:07:23 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/The-Dentist http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/To-our-Fuzz-Artists http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/To-our-Fuzz-Artists#comments
All I can say is, don't give up...keep pushing your limits and keep doing what you love!!! The 'Fans' are distinct in their tastes but this site opens us up to other genres that we may not have given a chance! This is why I love Fuzz!!!

Much love to all of you!!!

The next step for Sid and I is scary...there really is no other way to put it...we have been married 10 years now, finally bought a place and now naturally children will be next. Right??

The guilt of being a 30 almost 31 year old and not having my biological clock ticking consumes me...ALL THE TIME!!!....this is all I hear..."when will you two start a family?" A family I say?? Because as far as I am concerned...Sid is my family. Don't get me wrong, I would love to bring a child into this world with the love that Sid and I share, it would be a beautiful thing...but am I done growing the hell up? Am I done being the selfish woman that I can be at times? Am I done figuring out what purpose I am supposed to have in this life? All valid questions...yet I can't answer them.

So many homes I have visited, I see walls filled with family photo's...a showcase of the life created....am I on that path I ask???

Time will only tell...until now, I am happy being with a man that can stomach my temperment, my singing when I speak, my idiotic laugh that people from my childhood still remember, my crying at sappy movies (btw....just saw Kite Runner...phew...I needed a breather after that one!)...and most importantly me...]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 20:25:46 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/The-next-step http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/The-many-different-layers-of-Jostel-Hason http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/The-many-different-layers-of-Jostel-Hason#comments
These layers of Jostel are something that can’t just be pulled away and dissected with ease. His music gives us that insight into these many different layers. I say insight because there are layers of Jostel that haven’t even been breached. Take ‘Mine to Lose’…Jostel was as most of us were at one point in our lives, indulgent and self consumed. His ability to come out of such indulgence even though in my opinion is necessary as we ultimately go through the four stages of life. It was his ability to want to change, want to be a different person and through his music he feels that this is his way of repenting. I admire that as many of us know not what we do and perhaps will never know. ‘Clairvoyance’ is another tune that tells us of his youth and how self realization hit him hard. ‘Shame on me’ is a beautiful song dedicated to his wife who in my opinion was his savior. The chance meeting that perhaps a year later, they would have not met. It is his wife who supports his craft but most importantly helps build upon his self awareness. A song that I have loved from the first listen is ‘Anti’. A tribute you to the troops fighting a war that is bringing them back in body bags or permanently disabled. “Glossy Eyed in America’ is a line that is beautiful yet so poignant. Jostel Hason lacks modesty but perhaps that is a good thing…because as he says and I have to agree….no one –no one does his thing.]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 18:11:00 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/The-many-different-layers-of-Jostel-Hason http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/A-twin-sisters-love http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/A-twin-sisters-love#comments
Our first hug was in the womb. Our first tears were because suddenly we were apart. Our first gaze upon the world was of each other and immediately we were content.

Our firsts were something we shared...it was ours not yours or mine. Roles were formed as infants and it was I that would look over at you during your slumber, it was I that would go first because of your shyness, it was I that held your hand and said it would be okay. It was I that to this day will always watch over you even if we are far apart.

My admiration of you is something you fail to see, the pain you go through is something I wish I could burden, the twin sister I knew has slowly slipped away from me through the years and I would trade lives with you in an instant only to see that smile of yours again.

My heart is aching, I was supposed to take care of you, it was my role. I failed you and I can only hope that you can forgive me as I was your safety net, your crutch, your hope.

Know this, I will never give up on you. You are in my thoughts every single day and even when we speak on the phone...I am silently praying for your pain to disappear, to disappear into that same dark night it arrived.

I will always love you my darling twin sister....]]> Fri, 16 May 2008 19:00:15 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/A-twin-sisters-love http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/10-years-of-marriage-BREATHLESS http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/10-years-of-marriage-BREATHLESS#comments
Breathless

The first glimpse of you across that room, you had me locked in your gaze, not knowing who you were, naively longing for your embrace. You walked over to me holding out your hand and I knew by taking it would leave me forever breathless.

Your breath on my neck, the sweet sound of your curious voice saturating my ear, wondering where I came from and wishing me to never leave. We stepped back looking at each other smiling knowing that there would be more to this embrace.

So sure, so pure, so true our bodies entangled in the dark night never taking a moment to ask those questions as we sensed we would have years to find the answers. It was our moment, our desire to be as one and never wanting to let go.

Daylight approached and I lay awake thirsty for more. I rolled over in thought, I felt your arm wrap tightly around me and the nestling of your face and breath in my hair, left me breathless. Without words we had committed to a love that morning that to this day has been the soul of our relationship.

Your love has left me forever breathless…]]> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:30:00 -0700 http://www.fuzz.com/fan/ChristineLovesPhilly/blog/entry/10-years-of-marriage-BREATHLESS
