Happy music for an otherwise dark day
Saturday, March 8th, 2008The last 24 hours have been rather crappy. Last night I was in the middle of an online chat with newly found friend (who I swear is my long lost kindred spirit) when my computer froze up. After trying multiple times to get it to come back to life, I tried to restart it and […]
Good music for these trying times
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Myspace.com: Kimya Dawson (click on the link to hear “Loose Lips”)
This song was one of several of Dawson’s on the Juno soundtrack, and I must say that I absolutely love it. In fact, it is something I just sing to myself half the time in my head, just to remind myself that beauty and love […]
Woody Guthrie’s take on Jesus
Friday, December 14th, 2007WoodyGuthrie.com: Lyrics to “Jesus Christ”
Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
A hard-working man and brave
He said to the rich, “Give your money to the poor,”
But they laid Jesus Christ in His grave
Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
His followers true and brave
One dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot
Has laid Jesus Christ […]
Local Music blog

An interesting local blog (by a guy I met at a shindig at a friend’s house a few days ago) that makes me realize how out of touch I am with the music scene these days. Very, very sad.
Happy New Year’s!
Sunday, December 31st, 2006
I’m at my house this New Year’s. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going downtown or not (I’m leaning towards not, it’s just too cold tonight… and besides I have a Rogue Shakespeare Stout in the fridge).
One tradition I will be observing is listening to the song “New Lang Syne” (a/k/a “Thank God it’s over”) […]
Kick*** local musicians
Sunday, September 24th, 2006
Myspace.com: BuffaloFitz — I heard these guys at a party this weekend (out at the Living Kitchen farm, out towards Bristow and I was just blown away. They can play old timey music like nobody’s business with such heart. Definitely recommend them.
Also while I’m thinking about local music, I got a plug another rootsy local […]
Music for today
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006
Today I’m really digging on the music of the Austin-band Hundred Year Storm. I had listened to them before and liked their sound, but the songs I’ve heard so far from their new album (Hello from the Children of Planet Earth), my oh my, are so good. (I’m glad to see I’m not the only […]
From the good ol’ days of Christian Rock
Friday, September 8th, 2006
KillingTheBuddha.com: God and Guitars — Christian rock might not have all the answers, but for one fan and one band, it’s the questions that matter. - by Joel Hartse (thanks to Rivers are Damp for leading me to KTB)
This article really took me back in time, to the mid-late 90’s when for a brief span […]
Music I’ve been digging lately
Saturday, July 15th, 2006
It’s been ages since I’ve talked about music I’m listening to these days, so here’s my short list of stuff I’m digging on right now…
Matisyahu (also see the Wikipedia article about him)- I really can’t say enough good about this guy. He does spiritually-charged Reggae (he is a Hassidic Orthodox Jew) that gets you moving […]
