  • 2015

    Ok let’s just say it. 2014 was weird. Really WEIRD. Throughout the year there were positive notes and less positive ones and all sorts of sad, depressing, sometimes terrible happenings around the world. But it’s a new year and in a few hours the sun will rise on our next shot at making things better,…

    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…

    Spoonful by Howlin’ Wolf

  • 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 42: Pure Imagination

    Last year, Fiona Apple recorded a cover of Pure Imagination from the 1971 film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a soundtrack for the film below. The film (and accompanying game) is part of a campaign produced by Chipotle focused on food with integrity. Read more about the film here and here The song…

    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

  • 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

  • Wmotd, Week 37

    Glory by Wye Oak

  • Wmotd, Week 36

    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

  • Wmotd, Week 35

    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…

  • Wmotd, Week 34

    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.
