My thoughts on last night

In absolutely no order but what my brain puts them in......of note.....I freakin LOVE Latin Night!  Give me all the spray tans and shirtless men!

Gleb and Sasha - Her package made me sad but her dance was GREAT!!!!!  She might possibly be starting to grown on me, but the jury is still out.  I feel like maybe she’s coming out of her shell a little.  Then I read that he legit copied and pasted one of his SCD routines and I’m having a hard time giving him the “new dad” pass.......get it together Gleb.

Alan and Debbie - That was a good solid AT.  I still can’t get over sweet precious Alan’s goofy grin because he’s just so damn happy and then he jumped on the table and defied gravity and I lost all focus and forgot to watch her because I could only look at him.  I’m not terribly sad to see Debbie go, but I would rather it have been TO.

Witney and Frankie - He.  Killed.  That.  That is really all I have to say other than I initially told Bestie that Frankie is like everyone’s nerdy cousin, then I realized I said that because he really is just like my nerdy cousin.  Lol. 

Sharna and Derek - The Paso is my most favorite dance and Sharna is my most favorite dancer....win win.  It was a little wonky but still so so so good.  I loved it!  I really love when they do that knee walk thing and it makes me sad when the do a Paso that doesn’t have it.  Their costumes were GORGEOUS and he was underscored.....still not worried.

Cheryl and TO- I really really hate him.  I watched his package but didn’t really pay much attention to his dance.  I absolutely love how she shuts him down at every pass.  “I looked great”.....”It wasn’t that great....do it again”.  Also, look dude.....you’re not hot, you dance pretty ok-ish but you’re still not hot, and did you really have to beg people to DM you to get rid of your tickets?  That kinda made me sad.

Maks and Vanessa - ENOUGH WITH THE MARRIED SHIT......Now that that is out of my system, it was a decent dance but that costume didn’t do her any favors.  Like, none at all.  It made her boobs look all floppy and that’s not a cute look.  I would have much preferred a dress....but whatever.  At least we didn’t have to do scores with all 4 of them again.  She’s gonna go way further than Nick, she really is a good dancer.  Just stop the shenanigans.

Peta and Nick - Did we really have to spend their entire package watching Maks and Vanessa watch Mondays dance, then have 3 seconds of practice footage,  then listen to Vanessa wax poetically over their first date in detail,  then watch Nick not know anything about their first date.  I’m still laughing at that.  Anyways.....the dance was slightly tragic.  He’s just so ....... stompy.  It’s a shame because I love love love Peta and I hate seeing her with a partner that doesn’t have great potential.  Those abs tho.....damn Peta!

Artem and Nikki - I don’t have much to say about this but DUDE.....did you REALLY just dumb down the tour dance?  Like, for real?  Not cool.  Way to phone it in.

Linsday and Jordan - I still can’t figure out why I don’t like him.....but I don’t.  If I ever figure it out, I’ll share with the class.  I HATED their outfits but that dance was AMAZING!  SO GOOD!!!!  THEN, he had to go ruin it by going on and on about his fancy Cuban heels and how he likes how they “feel” right after Len just spent 45 minutes telling him to be careful of the Cuban heels because they make you “feel” different.  Dude, did you not just hear what Len said?  Sigh. 

Mark and Lindsey- That dance was so good.  So so so so good!  It’s the first dance I’ve really liked of hers.  And her package...I’m still laughing at “I’m going to put this in my wheelhouse of flirtatious material”.  I think I found my new catch phrase!

Val and Victoria - .I don’t have much to say about the rumba that wasn’t a rumba.....and the back talking to Len.......and the tweets........so let’s talk about the after.  What a cute cake!  And the flowers from TSwift!  Happy Birthday, Victoria!

Emma and Drew - This was by far his best dance!  That was really good!  Smooth and fluid and fit the mood!  Good job, Drew!  As much as Emma sucks at a Quickstep, she excels at a Rumba.

Rediscovering Alex Band, former Lead Singer/Song writer/Performer of The Calling!

A story about how & why one of today's most accomplished, talented, performing/singer/songwriters has to "Start Over Again!"

By Gino De Lucia, Patch Poster| Jul 13, 2011 3:03 am ET | Updated Jul 14, 2011 11:24 pm ET

Although this blog is about a Band, it is not about a Band that's an actual Band! Confused? OK then~ this ought to clear things up: The Band that I'm referring to is actually a person!  

Currently, give or take a record or two, 30-year-old Alex Max Band, (a/k/a Alex Band) has sold over 8 million records.  

Moreover, the chances are pretty good that you either own one of Band's songs right now, or else you have recently sang along with one while listening to the radio! While you may or may not be familiar with or recognize the name Alex Band, the fact of the matter here is that unless you are a baby; was just born yesterday; or have been living on some other planet up until now, the odds are very good that you are quite familiar with the sound of the voice. 

Born June 8th, 1981 in Los Angeles, California, Alex Band is the former lead vocalist, songwriter, and performer from a California-based rock group known throughout the world since 2001 as The Calling!  

Band's latest biography informs us of the fact that the inspiring sound of his powerful, emotionally charged voice is often instantly recognizable to millions of music lovers, thanks to The Calling's modern-day classics like Adrienne, Our Lives and their chart-topping Mega-hit song, Wherever You Will Go!  

At the end of 2009, Billboard Magazine, a popular weekly music publication that has been in existence for 109 years, named Wherever You Will Go as "The #1 Song of the Decade" on its Adult Pop Chart. (Billboard is a music trade publication that Record label executives, recording artists, musicians, record producers etc. often refer to as being "The Bible of the Music Industry.") 

The popularity of Wherever You Will Go and the impact that it has had on people totally amazes Alex Band. Perhaps it all has something to do with the song's meaning? 

Band, who was just 16 when he wrote the song explains its origin: "It was written at a time when my friends Grandmother's best friend had passed away. She had left behind a husband of fifty or more years and I was at the funeral and afterwards, I just started thinking of what it would be like to be him and have your whole life change so dramatically and not for the best in a matter of moments… Somebody that you live and grow with and are one with, just to be gone, is crazy and I figured all he ever thinks about probably is finding a way to get back to her or be with her or make sure she's alright or something like that. That was the sentiment behind that song." 

After parting ways with The Calling 6 years ago and opting to go solo, Alex had been in Musical Exile for the most part. However, between trying to have some sort of a private life; doing an occasional small tour here and there; charity work; writing songs; sorting out legal issues pertaining to his relationships with the Recording Industry; and doing his best to maintain his sanity, he certainly had had an awful lot on his plate to keep himself busy while being out of the limelight! 

From the moment when you first meet Alex, it becomes quite obvious that Alex Band is a person of class, and that he's also someone who treasures true friendships and has the deepest of respect for others. To sum up his persona in a nutshell, people that meet him might likely be very much inclined to say this: "Alex Max Band is an extremely polite, charming, charismatic, caring, and down-to-earth but yet professional, easily and very likable individual." With all of that being the case, it's no wonder then that millions of his dedicated fans often attest to his loyalty; to the tight bond that exists between them. Numerous world-wide Fan Club board postings, Chat Room discussions, MySpace blogs, Facebook comments, and Twitter Tweets all display an almost countless number of positive testimonies and other good things to say from fans everywhere. 

The artist/fan love relationship that Band and his fans share and enjoy seems incredible in itself; especially when one takes it into consideration that he managed to maintain and even add to his undeniably huge world-wide fan base regardless of the fact that he had been out of the mainstream media for 5 years.

Regardless of the fact that he's no longer a teen, Alex has managed to maintain his youthful boyish good looks; but after growing tired of going through the salon ordeal just to dye his hair blond, he chose to allow it to grow back to his natural chestnut brown color. 

It's evident too, that he has matured somewhat, both musically and personally; and this adult maturity seems to suit him well. Evidence of this is perfectly demonstrated through his meaningful song lyrics, and also by the deep compassion that he has for mankind's well-being. 

Throughout most of his career, Band has worked with several charities. However, because of an illness that his ex-wife dealt with, Alex has zeroed himself in on one in particular, and has became a huge supporter of educating the public to become more aware of the importance of organ donation, working closely with the charity, Donate Life America. In October of 2007, the singer performed at his first Alex Band's Donate Life Rocks Concert to raise money and awareness for the cause, and he has continued to do so annually ever since. 

Each year Debbie Hagerman, who runs his official fan site, organizes a birthday charity project in Band's name asking in lieu of gifts that fans donate to his favorite charity instead. In addition, a calendar is produced each year too; one showcasing Alex in concert and all proceeds from its sales go to The Alex Band Education Fund for Donate Life. To date, these projects have raised over $30,000 in honor of the singer. 

Recently, Donate Life Hollywood proudly awarded Alex Band the #2 spot in its 2010 Hollywood Person of the Year Award!  Band's first full-length Solo CD entitled, We've All Been There, was released in the USA on June 29th, 2010, and then world-wide soon thereafter. The14 song CD was co-produced by Band, along with Matt Serletic (Rob Thomas, Collective Soul); John Fields (Switchfoot, Jonas Brothers); and Tal Herzberg (Black Eyes Peas, Christina Aguilera). 

After leaving RCA/BMG 5 years ago, Alex signed with Ron Fair at Interscope/Geffen Records as a solo artist. However, due to a rapidly changing music business, he decided to leave Geffen and major labels in general and instead, to release his music here in the United States on his very own label called AMB Records. 

According to Band's official Bio, International Releases of the CD will be on the EMI Records Label because of their excellent marketing capabilities. In addition, EMI will also solely be in charge of the handling of the CD's distribution world-wide. Alex is currently touring with some awesome new musicians; performing old favorites from The Calling days and many of his great recently released songs as well. 

If you wish to check to see if Alex will be touring in your area, you can do that by logging onto Alex's website at alexband.net.   

In addition to touring, Alex also continues to do some occasional acoustic radio promotions in order to help promote his awesome new songs. As for the recently released album, the songs & the musicianship are all of excellent quality; outstanding! Playing alongside Band, who plays guitars and several of the bass lines, were some of the best musicians on the planet, including drummers Abe Laboriel Jr., Dorian Crozier and Kenny Aronoff, keyboard player Jamie Muhoberac and guitarist Tim Pierce. The renowned Paul Buckmaster (Elton John's '70s classics) contributed string arrangements to several tracks, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed the album, as he'd done with The Calling. 

Several singles from We've All Been There & Videos associated with them have officially been released to radio and to the media, and like the album, they too are also available for purchase on iTunes, at most FYE Music Stores, and on Alex's website.

From my personal experiences with Alex Band, I can truly tell you that he is an amazing human being; one that's extremely talented, and one that also has an awesome future ahead of him.

Moreover, the story has only just begun, so keep an eye out for my future blogs on Alex right here on Patch! :)

Click Here To Subscribe: https://goo.gl/Jak4Sa ll Summer Long” rocker Kid Rock has taken an active role in today’s political world, throwing his support last year behind then-candidate Donald Trump during the election and visiting him in the White House after Trump became president. There have been substantial rumors that Kid Rock himself might run for office, and the singer recently confirmed what many had suspected. He tweeted, along with a picture of a lawn sign that says “Kid Rock For U.S. Senate,” “I have had a ton of emails and texts asking me if this website is real… http://ift.tt/2t4IWQF The answer is an absolute YES.” Rock, who would be running in the state of Michigan, later added, “Stay tuned, I will have a major announcement in the near future.” Despite this candidacy declaration, CNN looked into Federal Election Committee documents and did not see any election records filed using the name Kid Rock or under the singer’s given name Robert James Ritchie. Under the assumption that Kid Rock is indeed running, he would be squaring off against Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow. Senator Stabenow appeared the brush off the prospect of running against Kid Rock, saying, “I know we both share a love of music. I concede he is better at playing the guitar and I’ll keep doing what I do best, which is fighting for Michigan.” Michigan Tea Party activist welcomed Kid Rock’s candidacy, saying, “I’ll bet you he would generate as much excitement as Trump did.” Others tried to downplay Kid Rock’s run. Said political analyst Larry Sabato, “Well, good luck to him. That’s ridiculous. Trump opened the door and now all these celebrities think they are headed for high office, and they aren’t. The sun and the moon and the planets all aligned for just perfectly for Trump to just win a squeaker in 2016, like in Michigan, and it’s highly unlikely they’re going to align again.” Are you happy that Kid Rock is running?
