I've loved the Scottish band, Mogwai, for quite some time. They constantly surprise with new and inventive music, while still being true to their sound. Much of the time, it's just instrumental epic rock music that sounds like a film score for an apocalyptic movie. In fact, they've done plenty of film scores, which have added to the mood of most of those films…
I just spent the the last 5 minutes in my car, in my garage, fuming. I just spent the last 5 minutes sitting in my car, in my garage, stuffing my face with a large fry and small shamrock shake. I just spent the last 5 minutes in my car, in my garage, listening to Crawling Back to You by Tom Petty. On my…

Well, that's a great idea, except that they have no idea that the world is being overtaken by aliens. I loved…
It's the perpetual love/hate relationship with Taco Bell that keeps me going back to punish myself. I'm surrounded by much better Mexican food offerings, and yet, I still sometimes like the simplicity of the Bell. Their new item, the Bacon Club Chalupa is pretty good. It's like a regular chicken chalupa but with bacon bits added and instead of sour cream, it is some…
The year was 1996 and I was awake in bed with my Sony Walkman, listening to the radio. The local alternative radio station was playing this album in its entirety on their late night show. I continued to listen to the entire thing until I fell asleep. When I had the chance, I bought the CD. The first two tracks are each over 15…
This is a play list that I put together some time ago. It has kind of a western, dusty planes theme to it. The collection of artists varies greatly ranging from Bon Jovi to The Recounters to pre Stevie Nix Fleetwood Mac. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ID_xbWhWjFQq7yZyJC4nixQJkS41hMk
