Occasionally when I am listening to music I become seriously addicted to a particular song and hit the repeat1 button on my iPod. Ok, let’s be honest it’s often; at least once a week. If you read my Do Your Best To Destroy Me post yesterday then you know I had a not so great [...]

What a bloody day. Not literally but my day could not have been worse. I woke up and got kicked in the balls twice within the hour. No not literally. I’ll type slower so you can keep up. Anyway it was not a happy Monday morning and I was feeling like crap about it for [...]

What is it with some people and their love or hate of music? I mean, in a way I get it; everyone has their likes and dislikes that’s the way it has always been and that’s the way it will always be. Some people are completely over the top with their “hate” of certain bands. [...]

Today has the beginnings of a crappy day plain and simple. There’s too much going on, not enough time to get it all done and no way to see through all the twists and turns of the day coming out the other side unscathed. Like everyone, I get this way once and a while. Sometimes [...]

It’s Monday and I feel the need to ease into the week. Nothing like a mellow-ish, driving tune to take the edge off on a Monday morning. With Sia, I can honestly say that this is the only song that I have heard of hers that I really have any interest in. That said, in [...]

I definitely wasn’t “Racing In The Streets” or driving “Thunder Road” but these tunes were in my head all evening. There was something about being in the car tonight that brought a flood of memories back from my childhood. The windows were open, it was just a tad cool out and the wind felt refreshing [...]

Those of you who know me well know that I never shut up about Harry Manx. There are several reasons for that first and foremost being the music. I found Harry’s music during the Wise And Otherwise tour at a folk festival in Ottawa, Canada. It was an amazing day, a warm and breezy summer evening in August [...]

I went hiking in the hills with my daughter today and in the beautiful sunshine. This is truly one of my favorite things to do. Ironically while I am in nature and it is quiet except for that buzz and the rustling leaves it is one of the few times that I am able to [...]

Hi All,
I was listening to this song last night and knew I just had to share it with you call today. There is no doubt in my mind that this is THE best version of Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece. It is vital that you listen to the WHOLE song from start to finish on this one. Jeff [...]

Wow, what a day. You know those days that you just can’t seem to do anything right no matter how hard you try? This was my reality today. Nature, the details of the day and my omnipresent music though, conspired to change the direction I was heading. This dreary, rainy “wheel spinning” day became brighter [...]
