Walking in the rain
Lately, I’ve been trying to be more active again. I’ve been pretty good about working out regularly, but still feel like more movement needs to happen; so I’ve been working on that. With that in mind, I went for a walk in the rain tonight. After a long, hot sunny few days, it felt great …

A friend turned me on to this group recently… the jury is still out for me about their sound, but still wanted to share their music with a broader audience. Cold Steps by Professor Professor
Leafy Greens
Summer is drawing to a close (in theory at least), kids are back in school and magazines, stores and cafes are all beginning to hint at the coming transition to fall. Even so, it still feels and looks pretty darn summery here in Baltimore …and summer in Baltimore means jungle-esque (hot, humid and very, VERY …

When I lived in Colorado, I discovered DeVotchKa. They were one of the cooler local bands in the area in my book. I like this song and find that most people have a hard time sitting still while listening to it (which is good, if you ask me). As such, I wanted to share a …

This song reminds me of a number of things, but most strongly late fall/early winter in Göteborg where I listened to this album quite a bit. This recording is much newer than the original but still pleasant in my opinion and today I could use some optimism.
Sunnyside up
A few more from my trip earlier in the spring. The flowers and plant life on the island were incredible and just so lush. I sort of love how the water from a morning rain trapped in the center of the above flower looks almost like an egg yolk.

I’se a Muggin by Django Rheinhardt
Wmotd, Week 32
I haven’t heard this song in YEARS and then suddenly today while writing, it popped up while I had my music library playing on shuffle. Sounds like autumn or winter to me, but maybe that’s why I like this song… Sunny Road by Emiliana Torrini
Back to Earth
Earlier this year I went on a trip that took me far across the globe. Since my return, it’s been a whirlwind of activity everywhere, it seems, but here. But finally, FINALLY, I’m coming back to the photo- and art-related work that’s been left off since my trip. I’ve already shared a photo or two …

Wmotd, Week 30
I miss dancing. I used to dance a fair amount when I lived in Denver and always had a great time. Since I’ve been back east though, I haven’t been much of a social butterfly.. quite the opposite, really. Perhaps it’s time to get back in the swing of things, so to speak… When The …

It’s
Wmotd, Week 28
This week’s tune was actually produced for an IKEA advert of all things but it’s a fun song that reminds me of a far away friend I’m looking forward to speaking to later today. Playin’ with my Friends by Masters in France You can see the IKEA advert here as well as a funny video …
Wmotd, Week 27
It’s Independence Day here in America today. Which means barbecues, fireworks and a general casual summer party feel to the whole day and coming weekend. To me, Dick Dale sounds very “American” and this is a pretty great song of his (even if the video is cheesy). Nitro by

Wet Salt by Psapp
Wmotd, Week 25
A few months ago, I spent some time in a fishing village in southeast Asia with a few friends making art. On our last night together, we had a bit of a party involving music and lots of laughs. Some of the guys in the village had a reggae band and a few of the …
Wmotd, Week 24
Already a good song, now with more Kristen Wiig. Not a terrible movie either as long as you forget ANYTHING you might know about the original short story or the Danny Kaye movie version.
