New Music Releases

We are a little light on new music coming out today…

Better Than I Used To Be, Sammy Kershaw

Brand New Me, Cory Morrow

I’ve been listening to a new iTunes Session by Lady Antebellum this past week…have you heard it? It’s great! It’s the songs you know and love by Lady A but done a tad different.  Check it out here.

What have you been listening to lately?

Jaron’s Jams

Jaron Lowenstein, the front man of Jaron and the Long Road to Love, recently sat with Country Weekly to answer a few quick questions. He was asked what his favorite ’80s trend was and he answered…JAMS. Ha….I totally remember Jams…and am so glad they haven’t made it back yet…at least I don’t think…

I much prefer Jaron in his current fashions…

Hard to go wrong in a simple, classic, plaid country shirt.

Jaron also has a twin brother…together they were the pop duo Evan and Jaron.

Some tweets from the week…

@jakeofficial – I’m kinda glad I’m not a dog. I would be so mad if everyone that touched me twirled my ears in their fingers.

@noconaboots – If the shoe is on the other foot, your boots are on backwards!

@taylorswift13 – Had international interviews all day. Now I’m sitting on a rocking chair on my balcony watching Vanderbilt college kids move into dorms.   Ha, do you think any of these college kids had any idea she was watching?

@jakeofficial – I’m not saying where I am but I am crushing a Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster and a Cherry Limeade. Instantly feel better.  @sonicdrive_in….an Oklahoma company just like us!

@laurabellbundy – I’m one of those people that will take a tooth pick when I don’t need it and then get the tips of toothpick stuck in my teeth! Ar!

Follow these peeps on Twitter, they will make you smile. And of course follow us @langstons for great coupons, giveaways and blog posts!

Taylor Swift’s New Video “Mine”

Taylor Swift has a new album, Speak Now, coming out on Oct 25.  The first single, Mine, currently being played on the radio will have its video debut on Aug 27.  It will simultaneously play on CMT, MTV, VH1 along with other MTV International sites at 8:30p ET.  Swift will introduce the video in a special on CMT called “CMT Premieres Taylor Swift Mine” at 8p ET where she will go behind the scenes on the video with her co-star, on location of where the video was shot in Maine.

I’m sorta pumped about the album and video coming out…I’ve been a closet Taylor Swift fan for a while now (I guess I ruined that here huh?).  What say you, are you pumped about it too?

Fall Shoe Trends

Have you been checking out the Fall Show trends? Lace up booties, pumps with ladylike details (bows, ruffles, rosettes), camo patterns and lots of grey.

What is the best way to show off these new fall shoes? Skinny jeans of course!!
