1). Watching the initial airing of 'Cave In' on MTV:
So on Wednesday I had NO idea when the song, or even what part of the song was going to be played during the episode. So you have to picture me sitting around with some of my closest friends and my mom with our eyes fixed on the screen waiting for the moment when it would say 'Cave In'. Sure enough, about halfway through the episode at one of the climactic moments...BOOM! We all start screaming so we can't even hear it. My friend Leah cranks up the volume which made the little vol. bars scroll up over the name and song title so we didn't see that either, ha! It was so fun. It was over so quickly, and everyone settled back down...I was so thrilled and thought to myself 'wow, that was awesome...too bad that it's already over...'
2). Just when I thought everything was settling down, my phone started beeping like crazy with messages from people all over the country who had heard the song and wanted to know where to buy it/what the lyrics were...and several people that said incredibly sweet things about how much they related to it. I was STUNNED. I apologize for blowing up people's facebook and twitter feeds with retweets and reposts, but I wanted to show my unending appreciation for all of the nice words and encouragement. I'm well aware that all of this could be over in a snap, but it's MORE than enough. So, thank you.
Here are two videos that people made to 'Cave In' since there weren't any available on YouTube!
3). So then on Thursday my friend Lindsey (who was in town visiting) and I were taking a much-needed nap after we had partaken in WAY TOO MUCH cheese dip and chips at the one and only 'Panchos Mexican Restaurant' ...mid snooze my phone starts bleeping again and it said something about itunes. In my confusion, I read the message to Lindsey and she said "OH MY GOSH CHECK ITUNES!! Maybe you're listed!!" So both of us snap awake and grab my computer. Sure enough...there it was...under the new and noteworthy section on the main page of itunes. I could not believe it. I called all of the Zods and John Jaszcz to tell them the news, meanwhile Lindsey did a little more itunes searching on her phone. She screamed 'YOU'RE IN THE TOP TEN!!!!!" ...Of what I thought??...until I realized she was waving her phone at me with the EP listed in the top ten songs under Singer/Songwriter and #11 album. Now I'm sure all of this had to do with the number of downloads/purchases within a certain period of time, but we snapped a picture anyway so that when it was gone we could at least say it was once there!
4). Enough of the sappy stuff and back to business. I'll be playing a show tomorrow night (Tuesday, April 19th) at 12th and Porter in Nashville. A whole slew of talented artists are playing so you definitely shouldn't miss it if you're in town! The show starts at eight and you can find out more information here!
