Love For 94.9 and the 90s

I hate to say it, but I think I like this radio station even better than WFNX 101.7 out of Boston. Not to snub my hometown station, but I have never heard such a diverse station before. It really caters to all my likes (and guilty pleasures).
I got into my car last name and “Bro [...]

Ok so here it is. My short list for 2008.  It is a lot slower and sadder (for the most part) than last year’s list. Here is is, in no particular order:

Vacation Recap

So it has been a little bit since I have written down anything. But it is not a product of laziness, but of being extremely busy. I spent the second week of this month in Massachusetts for my annual voyage back to the East Coast. It was quite a whirlwind of a trip. [...]

No Government Bailout Needed

Music Industry Bails Itself Out
Apparently, the music industry is bailing itself out. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!! Not to get political, but the more I hear about AIG and their super lavish retreats, it sickens me. If I cant pay my loans or my bills, I’m screwed. No one is going to help me out [...]

My Body is a Cage

The Arcade Fire’s “My Body is a Cage” in a perfect choice for the movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. It not only peaked my interest in the movie, but prompted me to listen to all of Neon Bible since I had not heard the whole thing. And I’m listening right now…and its [...]
