Rediscover: The Morning Benders POP ETC

You know it's been a while since you've listened to a band when you look them up just to find out that they changed their name two years ago. Oops! Anyway, I first heard The Morning Benders (now forever/currently known as POP ETC) when I bought their album "Talking Through Tin Cans". I'm looking forward to rediscovering this band with their new name and new sound.

Discover: Talisco

Why is it that artists from other countries will record entire albums in English and no one thinks a thing about it, but if an American recorded an album in a different language it would be totally weird? Maybe because most Americans are monolingual while the rest of the world is bilingual/trilingual? Anyway, I'm liking what I've heard from Talisco and I hope that you will too.

Five For Friday: Virginia Music Is For Lovers

It's my wife's birthday this weekend and what better way to celebrate than to dedicate this week's playlist to her! Happy Birthday, Jen! You're my best friend and I love you!

You should drop by her blog and tell her, "Happy Birthday!"

Have a great weekend!

Rediscover: Joe Cocker

I love Joe Cocker's voice. So gritty and soulful! Not to mention he can still rock 40+ years later. Oh, and as an extra bonus, you get Leon Russell in this video too!

Discover: Seasick Steve

Well, I'd better get started learning guitar so I can be this guy in a few years...

Once again, it's FRIDAY! This week's playlist is all about music! Music about music! Music everywhere! Have a great weekend!

Rediscover: French Kicks

If you haven't heard French Kicks, stop whatever you're doing and listen to them now. Their music will make your Summer even better than it already is. Good Music for just about any occasion; especially cooking or driving or walking (on the beach or just around town). Sadly, they are no longer a band, but at least they left us with a few albums to enjoy.
