The weather has turned and the leaves have fallen off the trees. Winter is here. Snow is on the mountains and it is 45° tonight in my city. This is a compilation of mellow music that feels like 45° or warms me when I feel like I’m 45°. With Elton and Ellie, Mayer and Frusciante, Radioheads and Red Hots, and a few extra gems I have discovered in my travels. Anyways hope you guys like the list as much as I do!
We lie to ourselves
Like our eyes cant see
What our hands are doing
Like our ears cant hear
What our mouths are saying
Perceptions are deviations Continue reading →
This week’s edition is packed with goodies for you to enjoy. From ancient concerts that may have been a form of mind control to super secret recipe that has been carefully protected for years. If you like free things it’s here as well: 3 CD’s, that you will like, for download, totally free. A crazy beat-boxer 1 hour long concert, FREE. Also free apps for you smartphone. Next time your stranded and starving in the jungle or possibly the woods or maybe a swampy area and on the brink of death there is info here that could save your life. Lots of other things too. So stop reading this and start reading the post already!
So yesterday was 6 years since one of my favorite authors brutally took his own life, as he had always said he would, Hunter S. Thompson. So in memory of the crazy madman I’ve made a playlist that I feel represents his life. Check it out here on YouTube. Again Sony, UMG, and EMI hate freedom so click the link to YouTube to listen to all songs
Another bit of music musings here for you. An indie/beach/acoustic feel to todays set. I must want spring to get here already it seems. Also it seems that Sony and UMG are blocking any video of any artist using any piece of any song that is “theirs” from being shown on any site except the artist or sponsored youtube channel. CORPORATE LAME!! So unfortunately half of these videos won’t work on this page, but I’ve made a playlist on youtube so clickHERE to check out all the songs together.
What’s for dinner this week, well maybe not dinner, but before the game and maybe halftime too, It was SuperBow Sunday! This week I made Snackers or slider pockets with a Chipotle Beef, Chicken Pesto or all Veggie filling. Here’s a video and I will post the recipe and preparation in text form here as well tomorrow. My favorite is the Chicken Pesto. Also I went a little heavy on the Gorgonzola Cheese so maybe use a little less. The beef could’ve been spicier for my taste as well, but I wasn’t cooking just for me. So enjoy these and hope you had a good sunday!

It seems as if Dub-Step is taking the electronic music scene by storm. In the L.A. & S.F. areas all the cool kids are doing it now and the rest of the nation is following suit. They’ve had it across the pond in London for a while now; but as every good English musician has done, they come to America to make money and gain a bigger audience. Then we Yanks take the music and run with it. Described by fans as: filthy, grimy, raw and sublime, Dub-Step is very intense and mesmerizing to listen to if you have the right sound setup: MORE BASS & EXTREMELY LOUD. Live, I don’t think any music is quite as powerful and moving. It’s like a tribal drum circle on crack, amplified and reeking of that OG KU, all pumped out of a fire hose aimed at your face. I’ve fallen head over heals; literally by the wobbles, kicks, and massive drops. I can’t stand and my stomach hurts and I am loving every filthy second of it.
