The Music Lovers guest stars on Rachel and the City

I was shown today that there was a mention of The Music Lovers and myself (labeled as a Z Celebrity???) on Rachel and the City. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be a single woman livin' it up in the city of Memphis.... Well, then you have pretty specific concerns and should mosey on over to the City. Thanks Rachel!

More Props for the Music Lovers!

The Music Lovers has been mentioned again! This time on the obscenely informative website Largehearted Boy. If you have never been to this site then you are in for a real treat! The daily download sections are worth the free admission alone. Be sure to bookmark!
