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…

My Happy for the Day: “Female Robbery”
As with most new-to-me music these days, I first heard this song by The Neighbourhood on Sirius XM. I was entranced by singer Jesse Rutherford’s smooth-as-velvet voice and the overall British sound (to me, anyway) of the song. From start to finish, it feels almost hypnotic to me. Add in…

My Happy for the Day: “Titanium”
Through the spouse, I was introduced to David Guetta‘s music. While I’ve enjoyed most of what I’ve heard by him, my favorite of his songs has to be “Titanium,” which features Sia. There are a lot of interpretations out there as to the song’s meaning — that it’s about standing…

Today’s Flashback Friday is one of my favorite early-’90s songs, one that perfectly fit into the whole alt-rock music scene I was so into at the time. While the Soup Dragons are probably better known for their cover of “I’m Free,” it was “Divine Thing” that really floated my boat.…

Flashback Friday: “Your Woman” by White Town
Welcome to this week’s Flashback Friday. This week I’m trotting out one of my late-’90s favorites, “Your Woman” by White Town*. On first listen, I loved the quirkiness not only of the unique music (setting it apart from all the grunge that was prevalent then), but its gender-bending lyrics. Was…

Flashback Friday: “Naked Eye” by Luscious Jackson
Since buying Little Mo, I’ve been enjoying the free three-month Sirius XM subscription that came with it. What do I primarily listen to on my nice, fancy, commercial-free, cutting-edge satellite radio? Why, ’80s and ’90s music, of course. Oh, and some BPM. What I’m enjoying most listening to the ’80s…
