When I returned to Denver from San Francisco, I took the RTD SkyRide bus to the Market Street Station ($9, instead of a $50 cab ride), and walked the 2 miles home. I had the iPod on shuffle, and then continued it on my bike ride to work this morning. (50 degrees at 9 AM- yippee!) This shuffle was...
I highlighted in blue the nicest answers. :-) Instructions: 1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. You must write that song name down no matter how silly it sounds. If someone says "is this okay?" you say? Strong...
_Raising Sand._ Alison Krauss and, no kidding, Robert Plant. Absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful. I heard the review on NPR and intended to look for it, but my friend Kim beat surprised me with it this past week. As much as I love music, as much as I've been steeped in exceptional music since...
It's been a while since I dumped the album collection in here, and I've recklessly spent more money on new albums than I meant to in the last year. Here it is, with something for everyone and a few things that no one would ever want. CD – Abyssinian Baptist Choir – Shakin’ the Rafters 12CD -...

I caught Woody Allen’s latest film Vicky Cristina Barcelona and I’m pleased to announce he’s in top form again; brilliantly funny and insightful, stunning locales - Well, I never been to Spain - (but I sure want to go after seeing this), top production values and the acting is sharp especially...
I have this video you need to watch. Okay, so maybe you don't need to--but it might tell you something interesting about yourself. It did for me. I was completely stunned. I'll paste it here so that you can watch it if you want. The email I recieved included another clip before this one where the...
I bought five records at lunch today... found another vinyl shop in Nashville. I have been collecting for one year now and I'm up to 80 albums... quite proud of this collection. Today I scored with INXS (debut and Shaboom), the Boss's Darkness on the Edge of Town, Some Girls by the Stones, and...
You know how some people are able to reel off (effortlessly, it seems) a list of their favorite things? Books, movies, foods, places they've been? I'm not one of those. I love what I love fiercely, but can rarely summon up the things I do on command. It's embarrassing, especially for someone who...
There is so much sunny pop rock coming from Sweden – which Nic suggests might be a reaction to the long, dark winters (which explains the death metal as well). Whatever the inspiration, the nation is known for their hooky pop and Marching Band is no different. Their music is the sound of...
“While you're taking your time with apologies, I'm making my plans for revenge”… Radio by Alkaline Trio It’s Day 3 on the apology tour (see day one for full disclosure). We found a lovely turnout for C including such lovelies as Candy (Iggy Pop), Oh, Carol (Neil Sedaka), Oh, Carolina...
Apologies mean nothing When the damage is done… So Sad About Us by the Who You know, I think this apology thing is starting to have an effect. The cracks are starting to show (Katie Couric? really?) and it's only Day 5 on the apology tour (what is the frickin' apology thingee?). Edith and the...
Drumming’s most prolific exponent who played with the greats of rock and country During his busy career as a session musician, Buddy Harman, who died on 21 August, 2008, laid down some of the most memorable drum riffs of all time. He provided the distinctive pounding snare intro to Roy Orbison's...
The title of this blog is supposed to be in reference to the Simon and Garfunkel song "Homeward Bound". There is no way anyone (avid readers and/or die hard fans of this blog- since both exist) could have known that so I'm just stating it for the record. I've got Paul and Art on the brain since I...
Jamie made corned beef and cabbage for dinner. I've never had "real" corned beef before. I've had the kind in a can when I was a kid. My mom and dad LOVED that stuff! I was the only kid in school that had two slices of that on bread with a pickle at lunchtime. I so hated it. Then sometime in the...
Greetings dear friends, family, and insignificant handful of Vox stalkers. I bring to you yet another ungodly long post, half-excursions through reality, half-speculation of my future. These past few weeks I've felt thoroughly grown-up, and what better place to handle the stresses of adult life than...
It has been something of a 60's retro weekend, as an infomercial I caught the end of one night got me thinking about all that timeless music I grew up with - Donovan, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills and Nash, Simon and Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell. No matter what music plays today and what great...
