Leave It Alone – Hayley Williams

“Don’t nobody tell me / That God don’t have a sense of humor…” Wow, those are some truly thought-provoking lyrics…

Famous – Dave Aude Club Mix

When you think of the word fame what comes to mind? Fancy cars?…

In Small Things Forgotten – PilGrims In Progress

Let me take you back in time…to the fall of 2014. I was participating in a BILC language-teaching seminar in Ellwangen, Germany. It was a great experience for me in more ways that one…

The Healer – Noah Baerman with Ron Carter and Ben Riley

I’m writing this at the end of March – typically the time when students are turning their minds to final exams and beginning to get into a writing groove. I know this because April and May are peak streaming months for instrumental music.

Zanmi kanmarad – Claudette et Ti Pierre

“Zanmi kanmarad” was first released in 1979 on Claudette et Ti Pierre’s second Macaya Records album, Camionette. Information on the duo themselves beyond Discogs’ dedicated archivist community proved to be more difficult to piece together…

Don’t Panic – Coldplay

These are testing times that none is better prepared than the next to tackle. All that anybody can really do is play their small part in this moment of crisis so that we can see each other anew on the other side of it…
