Note from Tyge: When Carl made his somber trip to Florida, I wasn’t aware he already had two random songs posted for Monday and Tuesday. I should check the scheduled drafts more often. Being I still have two more songs for the not-so-random theme, I shall post them into the weekend. Come on people, [...]

Most albums bring back strong memories of a certain time and place for me.

Here are the albums that are inextricable from my memories of living in the Centennial State. Granted, none of these are Colorado-based...

Why are there so few good Beach Boys/Brian Wilson covers? Here's the only one I can think of top of my head -- Grant Lee Buffalo 's heart-stoppingly beautiful grunge take on "In My Room," from the Friends soundtrack. Damn -- I know there must be some others, but I'm absolutely drawing a blank.

You know what I miss? Posting music videos. A silly little pleasure to be sure, but one I think that needs to return. So with that in mind I’ll dig through the stuff I’ve been listening to to start sending some A/V love out there on a more frequent basis. Of late I’ve [...]

Summer is here - and that means road trips. My favorite driving albums are guitar based and either long or twangy. But all have great song cycles with no tracks to skip. These albums have been an essential part of driving thousands of miles across the US over the years.
