Music Mania - Mika Edition

In the past couple of years, it has been rare for me to get a new CD that throws me into music mania.  Music mania being when listening to a new cd electrifies my mind, body, and soul to the point of bouncing off the walls.  Music mania often leads to playing the cd repeatedly […]

FoxyTunes

I found a great new extension for Firefox called FoxyTunes. It is a small extension that controls your music software (iTunes, Windows Media, WinAmp, etc) from within Firefox.  By default it puts a small set of buttons in your status bar.  The feature I like best is that you can have it show the artist […]

iPod Upgrade

In case you had not heard (where have you been?), this week Apple introduced updated iPods, Nanos, and Shuffles.  And the timing could not be more perfect.  My 3 year old iPod has finally died.  Well, the battery has.  It can only keep a charge for a few minutes.  If I want to play it […]

The Music of Life

Usually I am not into doing memes (or whatever the hell they are called). But I saw this one on Chris’s blog and I couldn’t resist doing it.
The rules are easy. Take your favorite band or artist (or just an appropriate one) and answer the following questions using only the titles of their songs […]

Things to Share

I’ve found a couple of things recently that I felt I should share. First off is a great little DIY bookmark. It is a simple triangle of paper that you fold to fit over the corner of your pages. So simple, and yet very useful. I’ve been using one the past […]

You’re Beautiful

Friday night I was sitting at home, drinking a Strongbow, chatting online with a friend, and listening to the TV. I found a new program on Logo (the gay channel) called NewNowNext. It is a show that plays videos that they think the gay audience will enjoy. What grabbed my attention immediately […]

Confessions in a Cubicle

So I promised a review of Madonna’s new album. I decided it was time I finally did it. And there is no better time or place to review an album than at work. I have nothing better to do
Overall, I am underwhelmed with the album. I don’t think this […]

I bought Madonna’s new album “Confessions on a Dancefloor”. I’m currently listenig through it. I’ll hold off on posting my thoughts until after I’ve listened to it a few times. So far, I can safely say that it does not live up to the hype. But that was some pretty big […]

Extraordinary Ways

Last night I was lucky enough to stumble across the new Conjure One album on iTunes. I first discovered the group Conjure One in a Virgin Megastore in Washington, D.C. about 3 or 4 years ago. I would describe them as ambient electronica trance. Their debut album was amazing! It has […]
