New Year's Eve song MP3s

So who HASN'T seen New Year's Eve? I must admit, I melted over Jon in that movie like my little teenage heart used to. The love affair is back.

Here are the songs he performs for the movie - plus a little bonus, because I LOVED Lea Michele's performance of Auld Lang Syne. It was simply glorious.


1. Jon Bon Jovi: Have A Little Faith In Me

2. Jon Bon Jovi: Can't Turn You Loose

3. Lea Michele: Auld Lang Syne

HRC & Manchester audio

I told you I'd get the Hard Rock Calling stream audio for you, didn't I?

Yeah, well, I kind of never finished it - life got hectic - I forgot - and now it's available elsewhere, so I gave up. LOL.

Big thanks to Casban, and Hath, as always, for finding these things.

Hath also posted a link to the audio for Manchester, so double thanks to her!

You can download the audio at the following links:

Hard Rock Calling (from stream)

Audio tracks from the Munich stream

Huge thanks to Lisa (jbjgirl72)! She sent me the audio from the Munich live stream, and kindly let me share with you all. The original file was a bulk audio from the hour-plus stream, but I was able to splice it up into separate tracks (by song).

The files are available on my MediaFire.

And don't forget, you can still rewatch the stream here!

Enjoy! :)

The More Things Change video

This is a great video! I told you I'd share if I found a better version - so here you go. ;) Don't forget the MP3 download after you watch the video.

Enjoy!

New mobile app now available for Blackberry and Android

As of last week, I believe this application was only available for the iPhone. I just saw today that it is now available for free download (yes, you saw the word FREE associated with Bon Jovi!) on Blackberry and Android phones, too!

I have already installed it on my Blackberry Curve, and I'll check it out/play with it tonight. Who else has installed it, and what do you think? It only has a star and a half rating out of 5, which is a very bad sign. Perhaps that's why it's free...

Starland Ballroom (2011) boot - full show!

**COURTESY OF HATH AND AN ANONYMOUS SAINT!**

Thank you times a million to those of you who provided this for us! The FLAC files are available on the Bon Jovi Circle Tour blog.

P.S. Although FLAC files are the best lossless file formats for audio, if your media player doesn't support them or you experience trouble uploading/playing, try www.zamzar.com. It's my favorite conversion program - simply upload the files and select a new output format (ex. MP3). It supports files up to 100 MB, and emails you the download link. Good luck!

Holly Jolly Jovi: Santa Claus Is Coming To Town/Run Run Rudolph

Today's Holly Jolly Jovi spotlight is on the big man in red with the red-nosed reindeer - Santa and Rudolph!

Ahh, those characters bring me back to childhood and every single Christmas morning. Here, the band gets a visit from Santa Claus and Jon gets groovy with the children's classic.

Enjoy!

Holly Jolly Jovi!

There are so many Christmas songs the band (or the members separately) has done, that I thought it would be fun to do a little video and song feature every weekend (Friday-Sunday), until Christmas.

I fully respect and appreciate my diverse reader base, and I in no way mean to trivialize or ignore Hanukkah or Kwanzaa here. I am Christian and celebrate Christmas myself, and since this is a personal blog I feel justified in posting Christmas videos and songs, since they are performed by the band (which is the blog topic.)

But I hope everyone has a beautiful holiday season, regardless of your religion, beliefs, or celebrations - that's what makes this world go round!

~

To start our Holly Jolly Jovi series, I'm sharing one of my favorite songs performed by my favorite band - a "double the fun" scenario:

"I Wish Every Day Could Be Like Christmas" (from An Evening With Bon Jovi)

Greatest Hits - new singles audio downloads

So someone messed up - we weren't supposed to get "The More Things Change" until Wednesday, but we got a slip release today!

Since it's everywhere all over the web by now, I feel no guilt in sharing the audio MP3s with you all. Each of the four new singles that will be released on the Greatest Hits album can be found in my MediaFire account - as well as the "This Is Our House" official track.

Enjoy! :)

"What Do You Got?" - New Jovi track download

I. LOVE. IT.

It's not yet 9am on the west coast and I've already devoured the new song three times, printed out the lyrics, and downloaded the MP3. The lyrics are touching and true (as always), the melody is beautiful, and it sounds like a cut directly from The Circle. I adore it!!

So for my lovely readers - you can listen to it at www.bonjovi.com, or download the MP3 here

I'm not going to upload it to my Media Fire library just yet, because it's new and highly protected copyright-wise...just being careful.

But enjoy!

Oh, and thanks to Hath (and Lisa and LeAnn) for the lyrics:

Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're makin' a living and what we're living for
Rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But it don't mean one damn thing

What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
Tryin' to find your way home but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things that you've been dreaming of

If you ain't got someone you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one someone to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe that change can get us up off our knees

What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
Tryin' to find your way home but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things that you've been dreaming of
If you ain't got love, it's all just keepin' score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doin' it for?

I don't wanna have to talk about it
How many songs I gotta sing about it?
How long you gonna live without it?
Why does someone somewhere have to doubt it?
Someday you'll figure it out

What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You walk on that road but you're goin' nowhere
Tryin' to find your way home but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things that you've been dreaming of
If you ain't got love, it's all just keepin' score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doin' it for?

(Whoa oh oh oh) Ohh, what do you got if you ain't got love?
(Whoa oh oh oh) Ohh, what do you got if you ain't got love?
(Whoa oh oh oh) Ohh, what do you got if you ain't got love?
(Whoa oh oh oh)

Only 19 days...

Hello friends,

Sorry for the absence (again). It's nearly impossible for me to keep this thing going consistently, and I thank you for your patience when it goes without update for a time.

I've been dealing with some obstacles lately, including a sinus infection, and, a week later, a nasty bacterial infection thing called an abscess. If you've never had one of these things, thank your lucky stars. If you have, you have my SINCERE sympathies. I quickly learned that abscesses are probably the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of - or at least, ever had to deal with. The pain is unbearable, I was physically ill for about 12 hours straight (I literally slept next to the toilet), and I just managed to avoid a surgical removal of the infection site because it burst/drained on its own. But no more details, because it's positively disgusting and makes me sick to my stomach. I feel considerably better today, and the doctor's appointment tomorrow should just be for post-care and treatment for a healthy healing/recovery.

ANYWAY, on the Jovi front (because that's what this site is for, after all!), the band is Hawaii-bound and gearing up to start The Circle tour, and several of my friends are already there, enjoying the sunshine and palm trees, waiting for the shows. I must say I'm a bit jealous, for I have those pre-tour jitters already in my gut. Only 19 days until the first of my 3 SoCal shows, and the possibility still of Giants and European shows later on in the tour...I need me a good Jovi fix, I tell you! The last 8 months have been SO taxing, I just need a good loud rock and roll show with my boys. Who's with me?!

First off, today is February 7th, which means we need to wish a certain keyboardist a very Happy Birthday! David Bryan has graced the world with his presence for 48 years today, and may there be many more to come!

Last weekend, I was home for my sinus infection, and I spent a wonderful leisurely Sunday on The Goddess Hathor's site and The Bon Jovi Circle Tour site, downloading a shit ton of MP3s and videos from those wonderfully devoted blog managers. I now have performances from the JBJ & Friends show at the Lincoln Center (Nov. 2009), the NBC Today Show in Rockefeller Center (11/11/09), and the BBC Radio 2 gig (11/14/09), as well as the set Jovi played for the Moscow Peace Festival in 1989. If you want the MP3s, feel free to email me, or check out the BJCT blog (especially if you haven't already seen it!)

Also, I can't remember if I ever posted this, but I have the whole segment from Richie's DJ appearance on Sirius XM Satellite radio back in December, compliments of Rike's fab audio ripping. The entire Circle track listing with his commentary, plus a bonus track of some of his other commentary and song intros. I'm happy to share that too - I burned a copy of the whole segment for Bjorn for his birthday/our anniversary and I believe even he really enjoyed it. Yes, the increasingly critical Jovi fan!

By the way, did anyone else here know that the band played a set at the Venetian in Vegas last week?! I had NO idea it was even planned, but then I read that it was a business/corporate gig. Weird, usually we still hear about those. But in any case, there are some really GREAT pics out there from the event, and they are nice and BIG! Here are a few for you:



Anyway, I hope you're all doing well, and I promise this blog will be back in business now. The Jovi train is comin', folks, I can hear the rumble...can't wait!!
