slight thaw

It’s warmed into the low 40’s the last couple of days. Some of the snow is melting, there’s still a lot to go. I haven’t had much to say recently. The tragedy in Haiti is awful. It’s good see the generosity of people who are donating to the relief effort. On the other hand, it’s…

Miley Cyrus broke my iPhone

  It’s confession time, friends. On Tuesday, after weeks of trying to resist, I downloaded Miley Cyrus’ new hit Party in the USA. And I think that my iPhone is revolting by becoming increasing sluggish. I’m not proud of downloading the song. In fact, it’s kind of embarrassing. I’m nearly 37 years old. I’ve been…

So last week, my friend Michele and I had the privilege to see and hear Ingrid Michaelson live in the 91.3 the Summit studios. She did a “rap” remix of her hit The Way I Am. It was genius. I found a YouTube video of her performing the song for another radio station.  Enjoy.

mike meets miike…miike snow, that is

What’s been tickling my ears lately? A new fabulous Swedish electro-pop band called Miike Snow.  When I talk about them, I like to pronounce the second “i”. It’s really a silent “i’, though. Two of the band members, Chris Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg (Pontus, now there’s a cool first name) have had their hands in…

I had the beat, but not really

Last night was our friend David’s birthday. We had an excellent dinner at the Bistro on Main in Kent. After dinner, it was back to David and Marc’s for cake and Guitar Hero. And that’s me trying to play the drums, I was not so good at it. Megan, Greg, David and Marc were pretty…

adele – music to my ears

I’ve been listening to a few of Adele’s tracks for quite a while now. Just recently, I decided to go ahead and download the rest of her debut album 19. What a wise decision. It’s a near perfect album from start to finish. Chances are you’ve heard her breakthrough single Chasing Pavements. I’m adding it…
