All the Playlists

Infantile – Toska

25 February 2018

For those of you who are starting to get tired of progressive rock music in the 90s, this track is a great refresher for your mind.  

As an avid fan in this genre of progressive rock/metal (and also as a bedroom guitarist), I was starting to become disgruntled by the blatant abuses of composition techniques made popular by bands like Dream Theater and Periphery,…

The Bird & The Rifle – Lori McKenna

21 February 2018

I’ve been living with this track for weeks now – letting it creep up on me and infect my bones – I knew it would appear on the list – just didn’t know when.

Relationships…

Damn!

drunk – Monte Booker

21 February 2018

Every time I listen to this track it takes me somewhere else. For me personally this is the almost complete embodiment of what this playlist is about. Its so far outside the box that the first time I heard it I was slightly unsure of what to make of it. However, I remember feeling very intrigued… so intrigued in fact that I had to listen to it again and again, to the point that my curiosity became an obsession. For days I had this track on repeat, and every time I listened to it I felt like my mind was drifting to another world.

Magic Everywhere – Jonathan Wilson

21 February 2018

Part of growing old is understanding how the world works. We go through tons of experiences that shape who we are, which in turn prepares us for things to come. We become less surprised by the objects and events around us and develop a practical sense of the world. But what does that world look like to a younger you, or perhaps a child. Your understanding is small and the most minuscule of things are extremely interesting. There is a sense of mystery in every nook and cranny in the world. There is magic everywhere…

Dirty Dirty – Charlotte Cardin

21 February 2018

Televised singing competitions like American Idol are supposed to give artists the rare opportunity to go form zero to superstar in a matter of weeks. They promise to find the diamonds in the rough, and offer them record deals, fame and fortune. And sometimes they do — household names like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood launched their careers from reality shows like this…

Emily – San Fermin

21 February 2018

This song is perfect for listening to on a long evening drive. It’s upbeat and funky, but also elegant and contemplative. Most of the songs I have on this playlist are lyrically happy, but the lyrics in this one tend toward the gloomy side…

Soulshine – Gov’t Mule

21 February 2018

When you’re feeling blue, it takes time to bring yourself up out of the pits. If you’re looking for a drug-free mood lifter in under 8 minutes, then you’ve got it with this perfectly named tune by Gov’t Mule.  Also lovingly known as “Mule” by fans, this southern rock band is a side project for The Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody. There is everything to love about this song, but what hooked me is this lyric…

Tried by 12 – East Flatbush Project

21 February 2018

The ocean is vast and unforgiving.  Very often where we jellyfish like to congregate, there are also predators.  This is especially true considering that the most common predator of jellyfish is other jellyfish.  Humans are similar in this regard.  They are their own worst enemy.  Naturally also, the more dense the human population, the greater the pressure to survive.  The most crowded cities are often where humans can be found killing each other.  

It’s Ok – Tom Rosenthal

21 February 2018

Tom Rosenthal, an English singer-songwriter in control of his success, due to his sense of direction and determination knows how to write a song that pulls on every single one of my heart strings, enjoy.

Matthew Schultz, hailing from New York – USA. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer and performer who started out playing guitar in Chris Daughtry’s first band. He’s also diversified into acting, cast for a role n various films and television including Real Housewives of New Jersey.

If Only – Ships Have Sailed

20 February 2018

This band from CA will lift you up and make you think that fun is still aloud and that spirit is still alive in the world – If Only reminds me of so many songs and things that happened back in the day and it will become part of your heartbeat, I bet it will if you let it.

Hear My Train A Coming – Jimi Hendrix

20 February 2018

Not one of the tracks that Classic Rock radio called a Hendrix classic but one of the tracks that I believe shows off what an amazing player he was and you have to remember all Hendrix music was recorded more than 50 years ago and still sounds fresh truly amazing and still his style has never been matched or challenged.
