Over the past couple of days, I’ve been listening to music everywhere thanks to my new iPod. There’s something about listening to music through a set of earbuds that makes it seem much more intimate. I purchased the new Ben Harper album, Diamonds on the Inside, a few weeks back and have fallen in love with it again these past few days. I’m also jazzed to have tickets to see Ben and Jack Johnson in concert at the Hollywood Bowl in August. Awesome lineup, awesome venue, should make for an awesome evening. I like the word awesome. Awesome.

If you haven’t heard the new album, do yourself a favor and buy a copy–or better yet download it for $9.99 from the Apple Music Service.

Now go play your Ben Harper nicely…
