Song of the Day // Music Spotlight: Cameron Mitchell
Today while I was at work, I decided to calculate/estimate how much time I spend a day listening to music. Lately, it’s all been new music though. I’m currently embarking on a little research project, for which I”m sure some of you may know of, and realized that I am listening to music…constantly. I wish I could give you a time amount, but it’s literally when I’m working and when I’m not working. The only time I’m not listening to music is when I’m out or sleeping. I think I would be perfectly content with my life if I could keep doing what I”m doing for the rest of my life. I get to actively seek out random artists from all over and get to learn about three new bands/artists a day. I wish all of you could witness my excitement over this because it’s a sight to see.
So obviously, it’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Oxygen’s newest reality competition series The Glee Project. C’mon, I know I’m not alone here. I’ve been rooting for my favorites all along and so far they keep advancing! Last night, I decided to do a little digging on my favorite contenders to see if they had any side projects before the show. I didn’t want to pull the same situation with “The Voice” when I discovered one of my favorite singers was a finalist on the very last episode.
Cameron Mitchell is my age and from the city of Ft. Worth, Texas and while I’m a huge fan of his voice, I guess I can admit that I’m a little smitten with his hipster charm. (Didn’t think those existed did you?) So I checked out his stuff and made sure to download his original songs so that I could listen to them on repeat throughout my day. I don’t want to be cliche by saying that it’s nothing like the stuff that I’m listening to today, but it really isn’t. It is not in the same category as Fitz and the Tantrums, Givers, Oh Land, or Tune-yards. Even though they aren’t in the same family, it still doesn’t fail to impress me. It incorporates all of the things I love in a song – dance-ability, catchy lyrics, pop-beat, decent vocals…it’s all here! So with that said, your Song of the Day is Cameron Mitchell’s Sounds of Letting Go. If you’re interested in hearing more of his music, check out his YouTube, MySpace, or Facebook. You should also try and look for his covers. His “Use Somebody” is phenomenal.

The Aubrey O’Day Project
As strange as this may sound, I’m not all that embarrassed to admit that I used to love watching Making the Band w/ Danity Kane. Aubrey and Aundrea became fast favorites for me on the show. It’s funny how things have changed and Aubrey did a complete 360 in everything. She was no longer about her vocals and her talent, but her appearance. We haven’t seen much of her in the spotlight lately, but I hear that Oxygen has picked up her new show The Aubrey O’Day Project, which will follow her as she attempts to return to the music industry.
I really miss the old Aubrey O’Day. Can’t we just go back?
