Year: 2014
Wmotd, Week 52
This year seems to have flown by…. it’s hard to say 2014 has been a great year given all the tragic news stories worldwide. It feels safe to say that 2014 has been, if nothing else, good n’ weird. Since it’s the last Friday of this weird year, here’s one last installment of “weird music …
Wmotd, Week 51
It’s not even Christmas yet, let alone New Year’s Eve, but let’s admit it, this song is a good listen any time of year. New Year’s Prayer by Jeff Buckley
Including children
I like to go dancing semi-regularly and sometimes I feel like this when dancing: No, I’m not THAT tall, but this is exactly why I don’t wear higher heels when I dance— not because they’re uncomfortable (they’re not, generally) but because the “average” height for men in America includes children, apparently. (And yes, like the …

Wmotd, Week 46
So this week I wanted to share this remix of I miss you by Bjork but honestly the original video directed by John Kricfalusi is more interesting visually.
Wmotd, Week 45
Ok.. so I like the main riff of this song, but the Theremin-y/whistle-y shrill bit(s)? Not so much. Even so, thought it was close enough to share… It’s the sort of track I might listen to on one of my long walks in an attempt to slow down my usually (very) brisk pace. Shapeshifter Blues …
Wmotd, Week 44
Halloween calls for something a little different.. a little silly. At least if you ask me. Car Wash by the Easy Virtue Orchestra

Wmotd, Week 42: Pure Imagination

It’s 10/10..Have a lucky day…. Or perhaps you’d prefer the album version of this song…

Tomorrow night, Baltimore’s own Bosley will be playing at the Mobtown Ballroom. Live music and dancing, you can’t go wrong.
Wmotd, Week 39
Tripped over this group late one night while surfing among public radio stations and thought their music was a nice change from what I’ve been listening to recently and that’s why I’m sharing it with you today, dear readers. How about you? What have you been listening to lately? The 442s by The 442s
Ignite Baltimore 15
Last week Ignite Baltimore held their 15th round of lightning talks and as usual it was a fun mix of local perspectives and ideas. If you’re not familiar with the concept of a lightning talk, speakers have 5 minutes and 20 slides that advance automatically to share their stories and make a point. There are, …
Floral Offerings
While traveling through Bali, it was not unusual to come across shrines and offerings regularly. The island is predominately Hindu and offerings and prayers are a part of daily life. As an outside observer the practice appears beautiful and brings moments of quiet calm to life. These are flowers adorning a shrine in a fishing …
Wmotd, Week 38
Was digging through stacks of music I hadn’t listened to in a long while and uncovered, among other things, an album by the Ditty Bops.. It sounds like fun music for a warm night outside laughing friends, doesn’t it? Wishful Thinking by The Ditty Bops
Sleeping flowers
A few more flowers from Bali…. not alive necessarily but still pretty lovely if you ask me.
