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.

I've been listening to the ambient lounge collection Chip sent out for my birthday, it's pretty mellow and international so that is good for the destress zone. Not much else to report on the music front, except apparently it's true that Barry Manilow is universally unpopular. That's right, you can always get your breaking music news here!
Did I ever mention that I saw the Chainsaw Dupont show the other day? It was quite good, better than the first show I saw which was good, but this was more my speed. And the new album is coming out, Bourbon Street Breakdown, with mostly tunes written by Steve Pasek. Intelligent stuff.
Comments:
Hey, thanks for using my name and "intelligent" in the same sentence! Found this while googling to see if we've generated any reviews yet...sorry to hear about the insurance bandits. Barry Manilow gets a visceral reaction from me, but it sure isn't singing.
