I’ve kept my love for the movie Once no secret here. Initially inspired by a song I heard from the film, I went out and bought this “modern-day musical” to find it irresistibly charming and its songs just plain good. I have played this soundtrack over and over and over again since I’ve picked it [...]

Sounds For My Soul (Present Favorites), Pt. III
Posted in Let's Hear That Again!, That's Money in the Bank on August 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This is one of those examples where a song holds more value to me than my appreciation of an artist. I think John Mellencamp is a great artist who has written some great songs over time. I enjoy a great many of his songs. However, I’ve never fully connected with him as others have or [...]

I’ve exclaimed my love of The Weepies before here. I find them to be a band with a unique, lovable sound; whimsical and often hopeful. The two halves of The Weepies, Deb Talan and Steve Tannen, have each released albums of their own before their collaborative work. There’s magic when the two work together but [...]

Every Saturday morning, after my ritual dose of cartoons, I’d race down to my parents’ bedroom where I could be alone with their radio and there I’d sit for hours tuned to the local (traditional) Christian radio station. This part of the morning was the station’s music request time and I’d stay glued to the [...]

The pens I ordered came in today. Very happy. I think the Pentels are going to need some breaking in but the Bic Cristal Gels write flawlessly. So nice. I feel like a kid in an candy office supply store!

I mentioned in the previous post that The Dark Knight, though excellently put together, wasn’t my kind of movie. So what is my kind of movie? Beats me. I’m not kidding. By my typical standards I should’ve adored Batman. I suppose I’m just a puzzle.
But really, a wide range of movies interests me, as does [...]

It’s 4 a.m. and I’m sitting here, obviously awake. I had a great nap yesterday afternoon after church and it’s keeping me up now. So, I thought I’d write. I’m listening to what I thought was John Mayer’s Room For Squares album but which is actually a hodge-podge of tracks from early on in Mayer’s [...]

This is Sen. McCain’s appeal to the country to become her president and the leader of the free world. Hmm.
