Flashback Friday: “Only the Lonely” by The Motels
When I got a new computer last year, I was able to successfully transfer almost everything from my old computer. Unfortunately, one of the things that took a hit during the transfer was my iTunes library. I lost dozens of songs and albums, which I have been working to restore…

My Happy for the Day: “Beam Me Up”
“Beam Me Up” by the Swedish DJ duo Cazzette is yet another song introduced to me by satellite radio a few months ago. And, oh, how I love it. I’m not a dancing person — and certainly not in public — but every time I hear this song, I’m right…

“Waiting for the End” — Linkin Park
Things have been pretty stressful of late, for reasons I’ll try to go into sometime in the next few days. But as stressful as things have been for me, they’ve been so much worse for some people close to me, and I want them to know they are always in…

My Latest Music Obsession: Neon Trees
The first time I heard “Animal” by Neon Trees, I loved it. Fun, catchy, sounded like a song influenced by music from both the ’80s and the ’90s — right up my alley. And it was danceable. What’s not to like? (And guess what? They’re not British!) Once I heard…

Faves: Musical Movie Scenes
Song Lyric of the Day: It’s tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that’s right on time / It’s Tricky Run-DMC / “It’s Tricky“ Wow, it’s been longer than I realized since I put together one of these lists. So here I am. If you read this blog…
