    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

    Black Coffee by Wingy Manone

  • 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…

  • 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…

    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.

    “…in June, pretty baby, in June…”

  • Wmotd, Week 21

    Lately, there are two times of day when I listen to music most— early in the morning on my way to an office and late at night trying to concentrate on work or pet projects. Despite being a morning-ish person (in that I like being up early once actually up) I’m not necessarily firing on…

    “‘Cuz all is fine… Loneliness is just a state of mind…” Whispering at the top of my lungs by Tim Christensen

  • Wmotd, Week 19

    I used to live by a freight train line in college. Later, when I lived in Oakland, trains weren’t too far off either. In fact, Amtrak trains would run down the Embarcadero during the day sometimes (Like this). Later still, I worked across town and had to cross loads of freight tracks to get to…

    Couldn’t decide on a single track this week, instead here’s Tycho‘s latest LP if you haven’t already heard it.

  • Wmotd, Week 17

    It’s a little hard for me to believe that it’s been almost twenty years since this album came out, but it’s still a good one in my book. Looking forward to revisiting this album later this weekend while driving. The Pod by Hum

  • Wmotd, Week 16

    I like to walk. A lot. I like to hike in the woods but also explore the cityscapes on long urban walkabouts. I used to always have headphones on when walking but these days I mix it up— sometimes with headphones, sometimes without simply enjoying the environmental soundtrack. What do I listen to while I…

  • Wmotd, Week 15

    Lately, I’ve turned into a morning person… enjoying the quiet gray of the day before everyone else wakes up and starts making noise. This song has been part of the soundtrack to my morning ritual before heading out the door this week. Tapaa minut aamulla by Regina
