My iTunes library needed an influx this morning. I was in the mood for a particular brand of ballad that relies heavily on extremely emotive female vocals. And since I no longer have any shame at all about any music that I like (if it brings me pleasure, joy or emotion there’s no shame in [...]
I bought more new releases this year than I have in recent years. Of all those new releases there were 12 albums that I really spent a lot of time with. Of those 12 there are 4 that I couldn’t grow to love as whole albums despite my best efforts but which have a few [...]
Did I ever tell you about the summer I tried to learn to like beer? I was in college, beer was cheap and I was poor. The only problem was that I absolutely hated the taste of beer. I decided to attack the problem head on. I would try and try and try dozens of [...]
According to iTunes I didn’t really love very many albums released in 2009. The ones I did love though I really loved. 1. Blood Bank (EP) – Bon Iver Oh child, I love me some Bon Iver. I need him to release another new album with the quickness. I’ve listened to his full length debut [...]
I had heard the track 100m Backstroke on MTV2. Do you remember what MTV2 was like when it first came out? It was basically like the digital music channels on cable are today.

Neko Case, whom I love, is doing an interesting thing to promote the first single off her upcoming album. For every blog that posts the mp3 of the single “People Got A Lot of Nerve” Neko and her record label Anti will donate $5 to Best Friends Animal Society, which I also love. Celebrating its [...]
I haven’t participated in a meme in I don’t know how long but since Melle tagged me and I love her so I’m going to try. “List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs [...]
1. I love office supply stores. A new Staples opened up in the neighborhood (finally an office supply store in the neighborhood!) and I love to wander the aisles and buy post it notes, photo mailers, printer paper, ink cartridges. Happiness is a well stocked office supply cabinet. 2. I’ve grown so bored with The [...]
I’ve already had two rounds of present opening and I feel almost dirty from the embarrassment of music riches I’ve amassed. As an aside I think I really need to take a stand against present buying next year. For part of my family though buying presents at Christmas is the only real outward way of [...]
