    New Favorite Song

    Friday, November 28th, 2008

    Since I first saw the 2008 L.L. Bean Christmas commercial a couple of weeks ago, the music that plays as we view the Wicked Good Slippers has been going round and round in my head. I looked it up and the song is “Valley Winter Song” from the “Welcome Interstate Managers” (2003) album by […]

    My Top 25 Albums

    Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

    I have this major personality flaw — whenever there is something I really *need* to be doing, I procrastinate and instead fritter away the time doing completely trivial things like making lists.

    City Songs

    Saturday, August 30th, 2008

    For a trade at Swap-bot, I am working on a mix CD containing songs with the names of US cities or states in the titles. This is an easy mix to compile as compared to others since it focuses on the titles rather than song themes, although I am tending to choose songs that […]

    Most Enjoyed Albums of 2007

    Saturday, January 19th, 2008

    I’ve finally narrowed it down to just 25… my favorite albums from 2007. These albums are all quite heavily part of the rotation on my iPod (well, at least they were before the iPod went kaputz!). Of course my list is heavily tipped toward Adult Contemporary /Alternative /Indie Pop-Rock /Americana with a […]
