Accapella with piano

One Year Anniversary
Yes, it’s hard to believe but I’ve been doing this 5 days a week for the past 52 weeks. That’s 260 posts people! Who do you think I’ve mentioned the most in my posts? Anyone that knows anything about me won’t be surprised that Bruce Springsteen was featured 11 times in my posts beating [...]

2011 Favorite songs
Too many favorites to mention but here are the ones I think I’ll be playing for the next decade. Adele “Someone Like You“-Rolling in the Deep would also make this list but I chose this one as it became the first song to hit #1 with just a piano accompaniment. Extra points for the spot [...]

Grammy Nominations

New Music Tuesday

Speaking of artists from the 90′s, Craig Armstrong is releasing the soundtrack album to In Time. I’m not sure if In Time is going to be any good but it’s off to a good start [...]
Adele is viral
Adele may have just had vocal cord surgery and she may not have sung a note since her last show in October but her fans are keeping this album alive. Adele is resting comfortably and writing on her blog that she is “practicing my mime show now”. She can now turn on her TV and [...]

Lollapalooza celebrating its 20th year in existence reminded me of what my Dad used to ask when I was listening to my crazy music, “Are they going to be around in 20 years?” But I don’t think he understood that much of pop music is of the moment, to be enjoyed for a few months [...]
