I turned 18 recently, and that, plus the start of a new year, has compelled me to pursue my freelance writing career in earnest. Now Phantasma will be narrower in focus than it used to be.

I found them a long time ago but only now bought one of their albums&#8211;In Ghost Colours. It&#8217;s an album unlike any I&#8217;ve ever heard before. Each song runs into the next, forming a cohesive narrative. And while most [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annelessing.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10586139&amp;post=1560&amp;subd=annelessing&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Bruno Mars has a fantastic voice.

I love it more than their first album, A Fever You Can&#8217;t Sweat Out. This song is one of my favorites&#8211;it&#8217;s lighthearted and relaxing, but funny and clever. Every song from Pretty. Odd. is unmissable, though.
