Artist:Rowan Album:DOES IT MAKE YOU HAPPY? Details: With artwork by Stewart Armstrong and Rowan’s drummer Fionn Hennessy-Hayes on photographer duty, DOES IT MAKE YOU HAPPY? is a colorful mix of flowers? Oil paint? I am not sure what this is exactly, but it’s very pretty. This is the Irish band’s debut album.
Check out these beautiful photos of Canadian singer Michael Bublé as he performed at Climate Pledge Arena in September! Bublé, who’s deservedly won many, many awards, has a 2022 release called Higher. The album includes “My Valentine,” a song written by Paul McCartney, and Barry White’s “You’re the First, the Last, My Everything.” By the way, if you’re looking for some hot Christmas music, there’s always Bublé’s 2013 Christmas, with tracks such as “A Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Blue Christmas.” LOVE.

My Morning Jacket released the deluxe version their album Curcuital just in term for the winter holidays. But before that, the rock band played an outside set at Marymoor Park. One show of My Morning Jacket’s tour, which took them from Mexico to Alabama, it had a setlist including songs such as “Cobra” and “Love Love Love.” Excellent stuff.
