Why a music blog? Have you ever noticed how many people relate over music? The music we listen to is a window into our moods, our souls. Always temporal, evolving. One day it's the beat, the rhythm, the melody. Another day it's the lyrics. With it's ability to carry us away into another time and place, a cherished memory or a fantasy escape, music helps us transcend or endure the mundane. Music helps us make sense of painful experiences or confusing emotions, or safely, cathartically re-experience those feelings. And it has the transformative power to alter our mood for the better or worse. The kind of music we enjoy is a very personal thing, a matter of taste that cannot be imposed by another, but grows instead out of our own histories and sensibilities. And yet what pleasure to find others who like what you like -- you can share aural space with them without getting a headache or losing your mind. You can lead each other to discover new artists and genres. If you take the time to read all or the occasional entry, I hope you find a treat in this log of tunes.

hi - this is not good, twice a year blogging seems to be beside the point. Well, so it goes. It seems that the balance in my cdplayer is tilted slightly to country but in the car I've been listening to more radio - smooth jazz to soothe the savage blake on the evil commute. Nevertheless it is worth noting that Loretta Lynn fans with an edge will surely enjoy her collaboration with the White Stripes. It's very traditional in places but not so much in others. Groove Armada entered my consciousness thanks to Chip; the song "Whatever, Whenever" is particularly groovey. Next up Satriani...
 Kristina Riva, shown here with her friend "Cap'n Mike" who lives in Marina City too, stopped by with her entourage, a festive occurance. Jedd and Cheryl came to town over the past weekend. Cheryl who is hip to the local music scene was hoping to see Lucky Boys Confusion, but since it didn't happen, I can't speak to their talents or even their style. I'm particularly fond of the last two lyrics of this piece of the Prince song "Push": Did u ever stop 2 wonder Why u put another down? No man should asunder The joy that another man found How can you not love Prince? |
