Last night I watched a movie that shall remain nameless for the time being so that I don’t spoil it for anyone. In this movie there was a plane crash. I had a song pop into my head for like a millisecond and then “poof” – gone. It was driving me crazy but I could [...]

The mind works in mysterious ways. Today was a nostalgic music day for me. My recent post on an UNKLE song resulted in a friend of mine recommending The Flaming Lips latest CD to me. The moment I read the words The Flaming Lips my mind was off and running, recalling song after song from [...]

You are the benefit this morning of another tune that woke me up. “Cuando Los Angeles Lloran“ by Maná comes from my morning alarm clock CD and quietly woke me up this morning. This is a band that I really came to appreciate through family members of mine living down in Mexico. This track is [...]

If you haven’t had an opportunity to see this flick I highly recommend it. Even with the subtitles. The soundtrack is perfectly suited [...]

So I have this mixed cd that I pop into the CD player in my bedroom frequently. It’s filled up with tunes that I like to wake up to. Usually the theme here is that it starts off quiet and builds to being noisy enough for me to be no longer sleeping. So I set [...]

Today’s Life of Tunes keeper was a nice surprise on a beautiful sunny day. I was just getting ready to head out to the car and do some work when my shuffle spit out Midnight Oil’s Truganini off their Earth and Sun and Moon album. Wow did that immediately transport me back to the summer [...]

It’s another rainy day and it got me to thinking about my love-hate relationship with rain. There are days that I absolutely love the rain. Bring it on when I don’t have plans, or when the farmers are in desperate need. Let it pour when I don’t feel like dragging my ass out of bed. [...]
