In Your Dreams Countdown: Tomorrow!

Well my dears, tomorrow is the big day and I couldn't be happier.  I don't know about all of you, but this highly anticipated album has gotten me through the toughest times the last month.

1.Workouts
2. Last minute tests that professors decide to cram into the end of a semester...just for kicks
3. Depression after realizing that I will never be a  Royal Princess like Kate Middleton. (Yes, I had a touch of the Royal Wedding blues)-just kidding, I wasn't down in the dumps.  I literally watched the wedding three times in one day. Obsessed? Maybe...

Okay, so maybe not the TOUGHEST times, but the album has been a big motivator to GET STUFF DONE. Thinking about it made the tedious moments feel not as annoying.

I am thrilled to say that tomorrow, May 3, Stevie Nicks' solo album, "In Your Dreams," will be released. Yeah yeah yeahhhh! 

TOMORROW!



It seriously feels like Christmas Eve right now.

In Your Dreams Countdown: Day 2

I love the two day mark in any type of countdown.  Its great because all you have to think is, "The day after tomorrow!"  Its just a great feeling.

2 DAYS!

Here is a great live performance from Stevie Nicks in 1981.  The Roxy is a great LA music venue where many great rock stars have performed.   Here she is singing "Gold Dust Woman," with former Mac guitarist, Bob Welch and Mick Fleetwood on bongos (Yup. bongos...how fun!)  Catch it from mark 4:35 onward.  Love the way they break it down in the end.

In Your Dreams Countdown: Day 3

Oh gosh.  We are at the 3 day mark.  Its oh so close!

3 DAYS!


Here is rare video of Stevie Nicks circa 1985.  She is in the backstage of her dressing room and simply jamming out with her makeup artist and backup singer, Lori Nicks.  She is singing the song "Wild Heart," off of her 1985 album, "Wild Heart."  Its a cool video that I thought you Macsters may enjoy.

In Your Dreams Countdown: Day 4

Ok, I was probably distracted from the Royal Wedding and forgot to create a post, but come on my ladies out there, it isn't every day that you have  a regular girl turn into a princess right before your very eyes!


How gorgeous was  Kate Middleton's wedding dress BTW?  Absolutely stunning. I heard rumors that the dress was modeled after Grace Kelly's wedding gown.   Middleton represented herself with pure elegance and poise.   Today surely was a magical day...

And it got even better-Only 4 days until the new Stevie Nicks album guys!

4 DAYS!



I figured I would post a song that mentioned the word "castle" in the song.  Its only fitting on the night of the Royal Wedding right?

In Your Dreams Countdown: Day 5

We are literally a workweek (In my case, school week,) away from the new album guys.  Yup.  Only five short days until the release date of "In Your Dreams!"


5 DAYS!


Expect one or two Stevie Nicks/Dave Stewart collaborations on the new album.  Honestly, I kind of wish she was collaborating a few songs with Mr. Tom Petty rather than Stewart.  She has had a history of collaborations with the man and they never seem to disappoint.

Nicks did a performance of Tom Petty's hit, "I Need To Know," in 1981.   It lets us take a new look at this song from a lady's perspective. Stevie's version is great and I love her humongous tambo!

In Your Dreams Countdown: DAY 7

I figured we might as well start counting down the days until Stevie Nicks' solo album, "In Your Dreams," is released. Let me remind you that this solo album is Nicks' first solo album in TEN YEARS!


 Every day from here on out I will post a Stevie Nicks video...just to get you all excited.

We might as well start by posting her first single off the new album.  Here is her music video for "Secret Love."  The video was actually released today on AOL. Yayyyy...exciting!

 7 DAYS!



P.S.-Oh yes.  The drummer in the video is the one and only Mick Fleetwood.  Mac Lovin'!
