Days Are Gone – HAIM
I was content to listen to this album on Spotify for about 15 minutes before I caved and bought it on amoeba.com. The 3 day wait for shipping was agonizing, but once the CD arrived, I was quite a happy camper. There’s great range … Continue reading
“Losing You” by Randy Newman
I actually shed some tears when I heard this song for the first time. By the end, I experienced an emotional journey that was the impetus for thoughts of mortality and those around me. I still tear up when I hear … Continue reading
The Colourist
Once again I took to Twitter to discover new bands. After perusing the followees of my recent obsession WALK THE MOON I stumbled upon The Colourist. After hearing “Little Games” I knew I wanted more. I loved the interplay of male/female … Continue reading
“Dreaming” by Smallpools
Recently I’ve been finding new music by looking at artists I already enjoy, and then seeing who they follow on Twitter. It’s been working out pretty well so far, especially concerning that’s how I found “Dreaming” by Smallpools. I like … Continue reading
Magic Man
To continue with my new goal of posting at least once a week, I’m going to gush about the band that is Magic Man. I listened to them last week because I saw they had opened for WALK THE MOON, and because … Continue reading
“Someone New” by Hozier
Yes, “Take Me to Church” is a great song, but “Someone New,” wow, what a tune. Truth: “I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new.” The way I take this lyric is … Continue reading
“Souvenir” by Billy Joel
Every year’s a souvenir That slowly fades away
Reflective Collective (Has It Really Been 6 Months?)
Wow. I’ve been regularly blogging for 6 months. This blog pursuit has lasted longer than many romantic relationships. To celebrate this fact (and the nearing close of the year) I’m going to switch it up a bit. I’m going to chronicle … Continue reading

“(There’s No Place Like) Home For the Holidays” by The Carpenters
It’s true, “(There’s No Place Like) Home For the Holidays.” Once again, surprisingly, I discovered a new holiday song this season. And it’s got that classic Christmas vibe mixed with that classic Carpenters sound! I completely relate to that traffic … Continue reading
“Good Guys/Happy Ending” by MIKA
OHMIGOSH MIKA RELEASED A 1:25 SNIPPET OF A NEW SONG. And it’s AMAZEBALLS. If you’ve read most of this blog, first of all, kudos. And if you have, you will know my unwavering and long held love of MIKA. The … Continue reading
“I Wanna Get Better” by Bleachers
Man, with Bleachers and WALK THE MOON, RCA has been killin’ it lately. “I Wanna Get Better” killed the singles game in its own right. Rolling Stone just listed it in their Top 20 singles of the year, and it’s well … Continue reading
McBusted
I should be watching an overlong film and writing the subsequent essay, but instead I’m going to write about McBusted because “Get Over It” is too addictive. That chorus is pure pop and I love it. And the music video … Continue reading
Talking is Hard – WALK THE MOON
The release of Talking is Hard just happened to coincide with the start of final assignment madness, so I’ve put this off. Now I have a modicum of free time in which to gush about this album which has been my personal … Continue reading
“We Need a Little Christmas” by Sufjan Stevens
Christmas season started in early November because of Sufjan Stevens’ whimsical version of this song. But now it’s the day after Thanksgiving, which in my book makes it socially acceptable to listen to Christmas music. Originally featured in the musical Mame, “We … Continue reading
WALK THE MOON
Many a time the music I end up really loving is recommended to me by someone else who really knows their music. It’s a passing of the gauntlet, letting someone else who will truly appreciate the artist in on an unconcealed yet … Continue reading
