Confessions of a Fanboy

You’re not the only one with mixed emotions…  We’re really going to mix our metaphors with today’s story.
I refer to the summer of ‘97 as my “Angry Lesbian Period.”  I’d just gotten my ass dumped in Colorado and returned home to Alabama to- well, let’s just say less than hospitable circumstances.  I started listening heavily [...]

I didn’t make it all the way through the Afterglow Live DVD the other night, but we did watch about 2/3 of it and that was enough to make me want to start my morning listening to more Sarah McLachlan.
FTE was the album where it all came together for McLachlan. She showed promise and [...]

Victory is mine! Josh 1, TV 0. TheWifeToWhomI’mMarried and I are siting here in the living room with the “kids,” wasting time before we call it a night and I’ve put on some music rather than mindlessly flipping channels.

I popped in my Sarah McLachlan Afterglow Live. I can’t believe I allowed [...]

The three most perfect female voices in the history of mankind are:

Etta James
tie: Norah Jones and Sarah McLachlan

I’m calling for a singoff for second between Norah and Sarah Mc. They could alternate; Norah sings one, Sarah follows. Even if I could come to a concrete decision on who should get the silver [...]

Mark Knopfler & [...]

I didn’t realize until I compiled this list just what an active, productive, and awesome music-listening day I had today. I knew I was listening to some great music but it wasn’t until I got to see the cumulative total of it all that I realized just how great.

I’ve spent too much time this week watching movies and listening to podcasts and that’s why there haven’t been too many Let’s Talk About My iPod features this week. Today was more centered on music and I finally have enough songs to warrant posting one.
Obviously Luscious Jackson, Jeff Buckley, and U2 made the big [...]

That Peter Karp CD has permanently wormed its way into my head and heart. I woke up this morning with “Shadows and Cracks” in my head and had to listen to a few cuts, but most of the day was spent touring the ’90s. Many of these songs are ones I listen to [...]

I spent my in the ’90s today, maxing out on a lot of the ’90s alternative and grunge scene — even the Springsteen I listened to today was from the ’90s.
Very soon I’m going to have to write in depth about how much I love “My Beautiful Reward” from Springsteen’s Lucky Town CD. That [...]
