10/26/08: A week in my life (The Non-Picture Version)

I’m going to get the pretty charts out of the way first. Really, I spend way too much time working, not enough time relaxing, and I swear too much. I also drink way too much coffee. My life is very hectic right now and I don’t see that changing for a couple of weeks at [...]

My Top Songs of the 90’s

Over the weekend I watched Radiohead’s special on VH1. It just so happened that while I was watching this, I was texting Mandy, and I of course had to mention that two Radiohead songs would probably make my top ten list of 90’s songs. But I didn’t have a list and that was just off [...]

Queens of the Stone Age Album: Era Vulgaris (2007)

The new Queens of the Stone Age album, Era Vulgaris, releases on June 12th. For a sneak peak, you can preview the whole album on their website for free.
I’m a huge fan of Queens of the Stone Age, ever since high school. And their new album doesn’t disappoint me in the least. [...]

Album Review: Rufus Wainwright - Release the Stars

The album officially releases on May 15th. The first single, “Going to A Town,” was released, along with a couple of teasers for other songs on the album on his website.
I think the whole album is amazing. I don’t even know how I would begin to explain it. It’s deep, thoughtful, and [...]

Go ahead, make fun of me…

I’m on a quest for new music, and I have been for awhile, and it has taken me places that I’ve never, ever, thought I’d go.
I have a friend (and I really do mean a friend) that is in love with Hanson. Yes, I laughed when I first heard that too. Anyway, I [...]

My speakers can play louder than you can sing

I’m sitting here trying to figure out what to write, listening to a Putumayo Presents CD for inspiration (Latin Lounge to be exact), when my sister, Andrea, walks up the stairs singing as loud as she possibly can. Or at least, so I thought. I turned up the volume on my speakers just [...]

Modest Mouse rocks my socks

Modest Mouse’s new album, We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, is set for a release of March 20th. I’ve been waiting for this album for awhile. Modest Mouse has quickly become one of my favorite artists. Well, I got ahold of the leaked version recently and as I type, I’m [...]

Have a listen to my playlist!

I’m always listening to music. It inspires me, it makes me happy (or sad depending on the song), it calms me down, and I just plain enjoy it. Music is probably one of the most influential things in my life and it always has been. I have a song for everything and [...]

Albums I’m Looking Forward To in 2007

2006 was a pretty crumby year for music. Sure there was some good stuff, but for the most part, there wasn’t very much. 2007 is going to change the recent trend in music. I can feel it. There are some great upcoming albums, and also some rumored albums that are sure [...]

Songs everyone should know

First, I should really learn to stay away from my blog when I’m not in a good mood. Bad things happen.
So, I woke up today and my sister Andrea’s iPod was flippin out and she couldn’t get it to work. Her computer conked out so I had to reformat it on my computer. [...]
