Best Song I’ve Heard All Day: Pleasant Listening Edition

(part 212 in a 1001 part series)
Jaymay is a jazzy folk singer with quite the pleasant voice. This song is nice and catchy. Nothing else really left to say. It’s just a nice little song.
“Gray Or Blue” by Jaymay

Old Things That Are New To Me — Rain

As a lifelong fan of The Beatles, I’m always surprised to come across a song I am less familiar with. This is the case with “Rain,” a fantastic, if lesser-known B-side found on the “Paperback Writer” single. While I have heard this song a small handful of times, it’s certainly not as ingrained [...]

Best Song I’ve Heard All Day: Lawrence Kansas Edition

(part 168 in a 1001 part series)

The Sweded Movie Revolution

In many ways, people have ‘Sweded‘ movies for years on YouTube. Whether it was those kids who did a shot by shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or Gus Van Sant remaking Psycho, or kids in the backyard playing, the idea of Sweding has been around a lot longer than the advent [...]

Considering the Flat Top Design…

Every week, the All Music blog posts a music-related advertisement from an old magazine. Usually they’re a pretty funny look at retro ad stylings and trends of the 70s and 80s.
But this week, as a proud Fender Rhodes owner, the ad caught my attention.

All of a sudden my home keyboard rig feels mightily inadequate.
Check out [...]

Word Usage of ‘Swag’ vs. ‘Schwag’

Every once in awhile I think the meaning of slang words becomes so ingrained that we tend to forget the origin or evolution. Or in some cases I feel the meanings of two similar slang words intersect and become interchangeable to the point that no one knows which one to use. Such is [...]
