I’m two days behind for my music pick. One of my favorite bands for the past seventeen years (give or take a year) has been Massive Attack. The first time I recall hearing this song (Dissolved Girl) was back in 1999 in the Matrix. I was pleasantly surprised to also...
Better late then never I guess. For today’s Monday Music pick, I’m going with The Distance by Cake. A great song from the 90s.
I’m not off to a great start this new year as I’m already late with this weeks Monday Music post. So without further delay, my pick for this week is from Tamacun Rodrigo and Gabriela. They’re a great acoustic guitar duo from Mexico. I’ve been listening to them for a...
I’m a week behind, but I’m blaming the holidays for missing last week’s Monday Music. Last week the weather in Chicago and nearby suburbs was oddly warm, wet and cloudy. But today, we have a mix of rain and snow (aka sleet) and the clouds looming overhead make for a fairly gloomy day...
This weekend, I noticed a new documentary on Showtime: Daft Punk Unchained. It never occurred to me that I’ve been listening to them for over 15 years. Their more recent work – Random Access Memories and the Tron Legacy Soundtrack are both amazing in and beyond their own genre. I was blown away...
It’s Tuesday, December 8th, 2015 and in the United States, we still have this stupid arrangement within the mobile phone industry with infrastructure cartels also known as carriers. On the other end of the mobile industry is the mobile phone manufacturers. Somewhere the two meet and that’s where consumers get...
Scott Weiland died last week on Thursday, December 3rd. I really loved Stone Temple Pilots their music and lyrics. They were really a staple CD (remember those?) I often listened to. It’s a shame Scott had terrible addiction that took his life. He will be missed – or at the very least,...
I’ve been using the Microsoft Band 2 for a few weeks now and I can say I’m thrilled with it. In comparison to the original Band, it’s significantly better by leaps and bounds. If you’re in the market for a health tracker/watch, the Band 2 is my best recommendation. It’s probably everything...
The week of Thanksgiving in the US ends with Black Friday and the following week starts with Cyber Monday. Along with these consumer-based traditions, I typically dig into the holiday playlist. Vince Guaraldi with Charlie Brown is a staple holiday jazz classic for me.
Today’s music isn’t music but rather a comedy act from Stan Freberg. It’s hard for me to not think about Stan Freberg during this time of year as it’s Thanksgiving week in the US. Ever since I was a young boy, my father always played (and continues to play) Stan Freberg’s...
