There are those things that bring you comfort when you're down or lost.
There are those things that inspire you to be better, if not greater that you ever thought possibly.
And right now....these are my Top 10 things.
The Music of Ryan Star
Working for a record label, you can easily become so immune and jaded to new music. Being fed soooo much of the same cr@p breaks you down, that unless you go looking for good music - you run the risk of becoming numb to anything decent.
Luckily I'm aware enough to do this.
Currently touring with American Idol David Cook, I first took notice of Ryan Star when he was part of the reality show Rockstar Supernova.
After his performance of Paint It Black, i was hooked for life. Then I started following his career online, and starting seeing his orginal stuff.
Man oh man...brilliance.
As an aspiring script writer his music speaks to me in a way that i can visualize EXACTLY what story I want to tell. (and hey, this guy is the reason i bought a Hillary Swank movie on DVD!- just to get one song of course)
Last Train Home is a phenomenal track that really should be a huge hit.
(vote for it here to help it in a Radio poll)
Check out some of his stuff here:

and some of his videos on YouTube
"We Might Fall"
"Right Now"
and my current favourite song being used in a few tribute videos "This Could Be The Year"
And this brilliant use of "Last Train Home" for a Slumdog Millionaire trailer
I can tell you now, when I'm finished this script i'm working on, I'm sending it to one Mr. Star and BEGGING him to do some music for it...
Hey... a guy can dream can't he? Someone get this guy to South Africa!
Have a listen and look guys, and let me know what you think!
