The coroner has announced this morning that Houston’s cause of death was due to mixing prescription drugs, Xanax, and alcohol; not from drowning in the bathtub. This is so sad to hear. The music industry truly lost a legend this weekend.
Iconic musician, Whitney Houston, has passed away at the age of 48. Houston has won a number of Grammy’s including for album and record of the year. Near the end of her musical career, Houston was defeated by her constant drug use and even recently as reported by Ohnotheydidnt.
As a child, I absolutely adored Whitney as a singer so despite the news surrounding her death, I would prefer to remember her for being an incredible and talented musician. Her classic hits include, “I Will Always Love You,” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” My personal favorites though are definitely, “Heartbreak Hotel,” and “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay.” RIP Whitney.

No matter where I end up after I graduate or even long after I graduate, I will always have so much hometown pride for the music that comes out of Seattle. I don’t want to say some bold statement like, “I LOVE ALL SEATTLE MUSICIANS RAWR RAWR,” because I don’t, but I do love more than just a handful. The Head and The Heart is just one of those bands. These guys have blown up so quickly within the last year in a half snagging themselves slots on major music festivals, performing on late night television shows, and being named the band to watch out for from a number of places. Today they just release their new music video for “Down in the Valley.” Enjoy!
This song is short and sweet! Tomorrow Seattle University’s 2011 Battle of the Band’s winning band – Kithkin, will open for Los Campesinos! at the Neptune Theater.
I first heard this song on Holiday Matinee’s December mix tape and have loved it ever since. On Valentine’s Day, Tennis will be releasing their new album!
