Song of the Day (August 17)
3 Doors Down-“It’s Not My Time”
I love this song and the video is very powerful. I definitely recommend watching it. Another reason I love this video, however, is because it was filmed not that far from where I live. Cool, huh?
Ohh I’m heading out over to check out the cover The Sophomores made for Miley Cyrus’s song.
I love the new song by 3 Doors Down. And I love the concept of the video as well. Did you ever hear Kryptonite by them? It’s one of my favorite songs by 3DD.
Thanks for blogging about my giveaway, you’ve earned 2 extra entries for doing so. Good luck to you and your blog readers!

Alice in 3D? The Disney movie freaks me out enough? 🙂 Actually–love Burton so this is exciting news! Thanks for mentioning the my giveaway.
The Alice in Wonderland thing, that sounds uber awesome. I hope you post any more news you get on that.
ya book realm: Awesome! What did you think? I enjoyed it. I always love listening to covers. 🙂
Definitely!! I love the song Kryptonite. One of my favorites as well. That album is really great overall.

Trish: No problem at all! Tim Burtons’ films (the ones i’ve seen) are really different. I’m quite excited…but true, it’ll probably be a lot more freakier. 🙂

Johnny as the mad hatter? Seems like a good fit!
Ooh, I don’t know if that’s true about Johnny Depp, but it would be awesome if it were. I did see the Alice; she looks great (for what that’s worth).
Lenore: I agree, it would be. Hopefully we’ll hear more soon.
Cuileann: That’s great to hear about Alice! I haven’t seen who is playing her yet…but I do hope it’s true about Johnny, definitely. 🙂
