Have you ever written down a list of song lines/lyrics that stayed with you for ever and ever? Personally, there’s a really long list. One that keeps me laughing is “this will go down on your permanent record”. I believe I first heard that in a Violent Femmes […]
I was just recently talking with a friend as to how music has been so therapeutic this past year. Everyone has found their playlist, sort of speak. I used to be anti-Spotify just because I wanted to be. Then at some point late last year I gave in […]

Recently someone asked me what are my favorite bands or rather what do I listen to. I told him that I listen to mostly everything. My tastes are eclectic. I like rock, pop, alternative, hip hop and so on. Music can speak to your soul in […]
It’s the end of the year and lists and retrospectives abound. One can imagine that Donald Trump made many lists-regardless of what they cover. Frankly, I am a bit tired of these news story lists. I am intrigued by the lists that outline great discoveries from the […]
