Happy Mix for Wendy
Happy Mix for Wendy

My good friend Wendy tweeted “I think everyone who sees this tweet should make and post a music mix of songs that get you in a good mood, and songs that keep you there.” So. Here’s what happened because of that. As is almost always true, this made me happy just to make it. It [...]

Mix: A Musical Alternative to Caffeine
Mix: A Musical Alternative to Caffeine

My sister K made this mix and when I heard the title, which is freakin’ perfect by the way, I knew I would have to make my own version. She made it for a person who recently had to give up caffeine, the thought of which brings me so much fear it’s hilarious. Coffee and [...]

2012 OTG Mix
2012 OTG Mix

Hola my music lovers!! (Which I assume is most all of you…) Every year I do kind of a year in music. This year I had a running On The Go that I put songs in and took out all year long as they struck my fancy. This is what I feel like represents what [...]

Music Fan Convention In the Works
Music Fan Convention In the Works

SotD: C’mon
SotD: C'mon

This is one of those songs that really shows how two voices can BLEND. I love both of these guys’ voices but it’s really the blend that hits me. There’s a section in the middle of the song where it gets all quiet and soft and it’s just Brendon singing the chorus and his voice [...]

Mix: Czech it Out
Mix: Czech it Out

When I visited the Czech Republic in 2008 (a fact finding mission to see if I wanted to live there) I had an On-The-Go playlist constantly being influenced by the places we were going, the songs I heard places, and just how I was feeling. I kind of think you can guess it didn’t work [...]

Mix: On the Go in Progress
Mix: On the Go in Progress

I have a tendency to be making an on the go mix at pretty much all times. It gets weeded out and changed and updated as I become obsessed with different songs. This is what it’s like today. Hopefully there’s something you haven’t heard or haven’t heard in a while. Try some new stuff/old stuff… [...]

SotD: Homewrecked by Empires
SotD: Homewrecked by Empires

Sometimes I just miss my parents. They’re really cool people and while I love living away from Toledo, my family is damn awesome and when transporters are invented I will be much happier. The song though… is killer. It feels like being homesick and also not wanting to go back to where you’re from so [...]
