So, I’m 27. That means that I’ve passed the 10,000-day-old milestone this year. There was always something about that figure that gave me pause. It’s substantial. Ten thousand days. When you think about all of the days in your life, the sheer number of them can be easily lost among the ‘noise’. Life is complicated, and it’s difficult enough to keep track of a yearly birthday, let alone the…

So, it has been a while since my last update. Sorry about that, but my life has been rather hectic (and age breeds complication). I figure the best way to move forward is to simply start things back up again. I’ve been running this site for over 8 years now. The content on my site has been mostly about my taste in music (for the last few years). Great, but not my strongest offering. I would like…

Here is a list of music from the 2000’s. It is derived from my personal YouTube playlist (which contains all of the songs listed below). A Few Helpful Reminders: I only list songs that I have been known to enjoy. If a song isn’t on this list, it means that:   I haven’t gotten around to adding it yet or I don’t care for the song Try to keep in mind that this is an entire decade of music to…

Song of the Day: Home By Now

Today’s song is Home By Now by Muna. Alt Pop. Fast paced, bombastic, and some self-challenging lyrics. A great track. The drums on display here are exceptional. Each listen really draws more attention to how good they are. I don’t know if I’d been okay with holding out hope for your stack of rain checks.  The speed is a major part of the ‘pressure’ theme, and it either works for you…

Today’s song is I Do You by Anna of the North. Alt Pop. Fast paced, bombastic, and some self-challenging lyrics. A great track. The drums on display here are exceptional.

The speed is a major part of the ‘pressure’ theme, and it either works for…

Song of the Day: Top

Today’s song is Top by Hoonch. Alt Pop. Fast paced, bombastic, and some self-challenging lyrics. A great track. The drums on display here are exceptional.

The speed is a major part of the ‘pressure’ theme, and it either works for you or it doesn’t. Your…

Song of the Day: Tusk

Today’s song is Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. Pop Rock. An oldie, but we all know that Fleetwood Mac’s sound still works 50+ years later. This track in particular wasn’t on my radar, but I fell in love with it this year. Why don’t you ask him if he’s going to stay? Why don’t you ask him if he’s going away?  There are clear-cut segments of this song as it progresses – All distinct and a…

Song of the Day: (Wasted) on the moon - Then my sad eyes flew all around the room and my child mind was waiting on you to walk through.

Today’s song is (Wasted) on the moon by Halo Kitsch. Indie Pop-Rock. This one focuses on a steady drum-beat, transitioning as the lyrics progress. It flows well, sticks with solid pacing, and the tone is pretty cool. You fell through And you read my freckles like the news.  Personally, I feel there are some interesting elements to this (the digitized points, the guitar jump,…

Song of the Day: Everybody Wants It - Wrap me up in a nameless color. Brighter than gold.

Today’s song is Everybody Wants It by Zee Machine & Kelechi. Pop. Fast paced and loaded with synth. The vocals are great too. What’s not to love? Yeah, there isn’t much to the lyrics, but the sentiment is sweet. Starlight. Brighter than the moonlight Warmer than the hottest summer. Treasure so rare.  The straight-forward backing drums give heavier focus to how the vocals flow. This…

Song of the Day: Ebay - Junk keeps arriving in the mail from that worldwide garage sale.

Today’s song is Ebay by “Weird Al” Yankovic. Parody. I’ve loved this song since I was little. This was once one of the first few YouTube songs I ever heard. It is a fun rendition making fun of I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys. My house is filled with this crap. Shows up in bubble wrap, most every day. What I bought on Ebay.  The little ‘he-he-eee’ fading at the end makes me…

Song of the Day: Diet Coke - I'll change my body and my hobbies. Switch from regular to diet.

Today’s song is Diet Coke by Leanna Firestone. Alt Pop. An offbeat track about dealing with anorexia. Yeah, this is a weird one, but still super catchy and it sticks with you. The drums with this are punchy and the lyric progression melds together well. All my friends tell me I’m more than just “some stupid number”, but nothing will taste as good as being small for summer.  Gives off…

Song of the Day: Sixteen (Oceans1985 Remix) - Stay, as if I wanted to. I already tried and it's not you.

Today’s song is Sixteen (Remix) by Oceans1985. Pop. So this is a remix by Oceans1985, giving it a solid 80’s pop vibe. The original by Don is FAR slower and the tone is a far-cry from this style (still pretty great, especially the acoustic accompaniment). So why do you feel so small when you feel so alone?  The lyrics are melancholic (and a bit brutal) as you delve into them. The…
