  • Wmotd, Week 10

    So far this month feels like it is ZOOMING… or at least this past week certainly did. This piece is much longer than I share typically, but take a break and listen to it all the way through if you don’t already know the piece— trust me.

  • Wmotd, Week 9

    This song has been stuck in my head lately. February is just about over and it seems to have been a tough month for some of us if nothing else because of the weather. Listening to this track on repeat (as I tend to when I write these weekly posts) a number of things come…

  • Wmotd, Week 8

    Hard to believe it’s the eighth Friday of the year already. In grad school, Fridays often meant taking the train to Stockholm and this album generally reminds me of Sweden. Have a nice weekend, friends.

  • Wmotd, Week 7

    Since it’s Valentine’s Day here’s a little love song of sort. This is by no means a new song, written & recorded in the 1950s originally by Phil Phillips, Sea of Love has been interpreted by a number of artists over the years. This version from 2006 by Tom Waits is my favorite (Iggy Pop’s…

  • Wmotd, Week 6

    Haven’t been feeling so hot this week. Hopefully this weekend things will turn the corner and the haze will lift. Smooth by Car Stereo Wars

  • Wmotd, Week 5

    This week seemed to simultaneously zoom and crawl. Either way it’s Friday which means, among other things, that it’s time to share another piece of music. This song always makes me think of riding the train for some reason. Swingtime in the Rockies by Benny Goodman

  • Wmotd, Week 4

    Feeling pretty blah today after a weird week. So here’s a little music to shake up your afternoon. Always Alright by Alabama Shakes By the way, on Sunday we’ll find out if these guys win a Grammy for their performance of this song for the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack.

  • Wmotd, Week 3

    I don’t know about you guys, but it has been a crazy week on my end at least. Lots of days that felt longer than they were and a lot of distance covered. But it’s Friday and that means two things, we can (theoretically) sleep in tomorrow and “weird” music of the day for you…

  • Wmotd, Week 2

    Ok, I’ll admit it. This week’s installment of “weird” music of the day/week isn’t “weird,” at least not to my ears. But the pace and mood of it pretty well captures the busy pace of the week so far (Also, I just like this tune.). How about you? How was your week— productive? slow? icy?…

  • Wmotd, Week 1

    A few years ago, when I lived in Colorado, Fridays became associated with weird music of the week or day (or wmotd if you will). At least once a week, usually Fridays, I’d share a piece of music with a co-worker who had a pretty brutal workload and crazy schedule in and out of the…
