riot radio

i was playing this song not long after i watched nick and norah's infinite playlist for the first time & a friend asked me if this is the clash. i can see the comparison but it's a band called the dead 60s & i think it's a great song. the movie is worth watching, too.

a change would do you good

woke up with this song playing in my head. must be because of some of the decisions i've made in the past week...

right hand on my heart

the whigs - great music, great videos. this is one of my favorites. ignore all the rem comparisons you hear - the only thing the 2 bands have in common in my opinion is that they both started in athens, ga.

I told Joe when we visited Hawai'i last year that my version of Heaven is Onomea Bay. When he laid eyes on Kaimu, he said: "This is my Heaven."

grace potter & the nocturnals - great band; amazing live performances. this song is one of my favorites:

Vinyl Art

A few months back, I was on google looking for ideas on how to "recycle" some of my vinyl records that are too scratched up to play. That's where I found Daniel Edlen's blog. An artist with true passion/knowledge of music, Daniel creates original art work (these are not stencils but actual portrait paintings) of musicians on the records they created.
He's put together an eBook that is free to view and/or download, with quotes about the artists and the music. Check it out here, you won't be disappointed.
