Mike Schmid

I have to be honest, I didn't even really know about Blogspot until I followed some links. I was looking for a song I heard a few months ago on a short lived show called, "The Black Donnelly's."
I had no idea what the song was or who sang it, but I fell in love with it instantly. You know when you hear a song, and you can't get it out of your head? I downloaded the episode just to hear the little bit of the song over and over. It didn't hurt that it was playing during a hot sex scene, but anyway....

I would type in key words from the song on iTunes and Google and kept coming up empty. Finally after a month or so, I googled again, and someone else posted on some site that they were looking for the same song I was. Believe it or not, there was someone out there that knew the singer and the song and how to find it. Song- "Forget You" Singer- Mike Schmid

He has a myspace page (I created a simple myspace page about 6 months ago to monitor my nephew online, long story) and I clicked on it the link, and low and behold, there was a music thingy that I could click on to hear the song in it's entirety. I was happy I found it on his site, so I checked out iTunes, and wouldn't you know it, it's the one song that they don't have from him on the site. I really wanted to put it into my iPod. I checked around on the artists myspace page, and wouldn't you know it- it was the one song that wasn't available for downloading. Anyway (yeah I'm rambling so what) I posted a comment directly to the artist asking where I could find it, and he posted back to me letting me know it was available exclusively at broadjam. Woo-Hoo! Even though I was only looking for the one song, I ended up getting more than an album's worth of songs.

He really has some great stuff.
So far depending on what mood I have been in, I have been able to relate to most of his songs (the songs I have downloaded anyway) on a daily basis.

I can't help but giggle when my husband Mark, does some douchie thing that I have nagged him about not doing over and over, and I hear, "I'm a moron, I'm an idiot..." go through my head. The song has literally stopped me from bitching at him. Mark has no idea why I have been giggling for no apparent reason at random times lately.

"Back to You" reminds me that the best things I have in life are because Mark.

"Normal" and "Method Acting" are probably the ones I have been playing the most at the moment.

If you check out Mike's (no, I'm not on a first name basis or anything) myspace page you'll find that he has mastered the art of self promotion and marketing. (I bet he Googles himself) I'm sure he'll be a household name in the not too distant future.
His site was also how I found out about blogspot in the first place. I clicked around on some links on his page and was directed to his blog.
So, if not for him, you wouldn't be reading my blog at all. Because of that, I felt the need to make a whole post just to promote him and his music.

To find out more about Mike Schmid and his music, go to http://www.mikeschmid.com/
You might turn find that you turn into an instant fan of his music. He has a blog, but I don't know how to direct you to that...his entry on Zombie logic is a must read though!

(and no, he has no idea I made a post about him, he's good at self promoting and all, but he didn't resort to this)
