Tweet So, months have passed since my last blog post. I know…I call myself a “blogger” and don’t blog. One of my New Year’s resolutions (I swear!) is to get back to writing again. It always made me feel better and I’m not sure why I stopped. 2011 has been a bittersweet year for me….
I am TOTALLY geeking out this week. Really, more than normal. First, there is Google+ which is taking up all of my free time. Then comes Spotify, which basically makes pretty much every song ever recorded 15 million songs available to stream on demand on your computer. For FREE!!! Since getting my account, it has taken my 3,500 song iTunes library and multiplied it by…a lot.
This past Wednesday evening, April 13th, 2011, something happened. Something big. HUGE. I met DAVE MATTHEWS! That’s right, THE Dave Matthews. Lead singer of Dave Matthews Band. The man. The legend. The moment I had dreamed of for so long actually happened. Of course, in Becky fashion, the whole experience was not without craziness. Here’s the whole story:
Tweet After much thought and consideration, I decided to pool my birthday and Christmas money and purchase an XBOX Kinect bundle to add to my existing XBOX 360. The bundle comes with one game, Kinect Adventures and I bought Dance Central to play on it as well. I hadn’t played a game on the system in over…
Tweet For those who are not from Long Island, you may not get the humor, but for those that are, hope you enjoy this great song!
Tweet I will admit it, I have become addicted to GetGlue. If you’ve never heard of it, the site can best be described as Foursquare for those that prefer to chill at home. And, lets face it, that’s pretty much where I am most of the time. With GetGlue, can check into TV shows and movies…
Tweet In celebration of the New Orleans Saints’ Superbowl win last night, a little “Louisiana Bayou” by Dave Matthews Band:

Tweet Dave Matthews & Neil Young performed “Alone & Forsaken” at the Hope for Haiti benefit. This little-known Hank Williams song was written by the country legend during the first half of last century. If you haven’t donated anything, please do. Every little bit helps.
Tweet In the wake of the devastation in Haiti, Dave Matthews Band has partnered with Music For Relief to help.

Tweet What do you get when you mix a Christmas Light show with Guitar Hero? Christmas Light Hero! A real game you play with a wii wireless guitar controller. Optional TV screen is available if you get in trouble, but if you use the screen, you don’t get your name in the high score list….
Tweet The Grammy Awards nominees have been announced and Dave Matthews Band made the cut…twice!

Tweet When I first heard about this, I thought, it couldn’t be true. They make concert movies for Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and Michael Jackson. Not Dave Matthews Band. But it’s real! And includes Ben Harper, who I love too!! Check out the trailer: From the DMB official website: This December, the first in…
Tweet Today is Carter Beauford’s birthday. Not only is he the best drummer, in my opinion…ever, he is also the drummer for the Dave Matthews Band. I am honored to say that I have seen Carter perform more than 35 times and he is incredible. Happy birthday Carter! Hope you have a great day!
Tweet Dear Kanye, I forgave you when you had a hissy fit at the Grammy’s in 2004 claiming you were robbed of the Best New Artist award. Everyone has a bad day. I forgave you in 2005 when you said “George Bush doesn’t like black people” during the Katrina Benefit. Partially because I really disliked…

He was an extremely talented DJ, spinning records at endless Hollywood clubs and parties. In his younger years he romanced Mandy Moore and was…
Tweet There was a time when I was a fan of Mariah Carey. That was before she got in a jacuzzi tub in a towel and worked out on a stairmaster in heels on MTV’s Cribs. That being said, I came across this picture on People earlier. It is the promotional shot that Elizabeth Arden released…
