Sonos System and App Controllers

I am SO salivating over the Sonos Play:3 player. It is way hot and just what I'm looking for. I'm buying a really cool wreath for our door (the first time we will have a real live wreath!) and I am so tempted to just get the Sonos with it.

Radio Soulwax and Aweditorium make music fun again

Every once in a while, you find something that does it right, that deviates from what came before in a way that just makes sense and makes you question why it wasn't done sooner.

I love music. I enjoy the variety of artistic expression and the transparency of the spark of creativity that good music gives you into the original artist's state of being. I look for music isn't well packaged, well marketed, or well managed. It's on the unclean edge of music that the best of the art form are form, in my experience.

But before I start to sound like a hipster douchebag, let me be clear: I look for good music because it's fun. That's all. When the talented artist is enjoying what they are doing, I find that I often do as well. I like my music fun.

Radio Soulwax and Aweditorium bring the fun back to exploring music. Both in very different ways, they make music tactile and enjoyable again, like it was when we spent hours in a crappy beachfront record store combing through albums of obscure bands looking to make it big.

Both of these apps are free, fun, and worth exploring. If you like exploring new music by bands you may not have heard of, or playing with the music of bands you have in inventive ways, those way be the apps you are looking for.

Tom has the jazz

He’s a boogie down, trip hop, disco fiend with a techno acid rock vibe. He walks proud in KISS boots and a Thriller jacket. Sporting a mock turtleneck and Elton John glasses, he glitzes and shines.

He has trained his heart to kick breakbeats and he hums baselines in exhalation.

His eyes blink “Rocktastic” in morse code and his stride is a reversed moonwalk.

You are jealous.

Meredith Brooks - Somedays

Somedays goes your way You’re on a roll you can’t explain Then it all goes down the drain.

Your cat’s hit by a car. The ATM eats your card. You’re wondering what changed from yesterday.

Save me from, from going mental Save me from just spinning out

Somedays are better than lovers Somedays, you just can’t figure out Somedays you can’t explain

My best friend and me one night Were drinkin' at Pete’s on Crescent Height. Just like that we end up in a fight.

Like a yo-yo up and down, You’re headin' north, you end up south, oh.

Save me from, from going mental. Save me from just spinning out.

Somedays are better than lovers. Somedays, you just can’t figure out. Somedays are better than others. You can’t explain somedays away, someday.

Save me from, from going mental. Save me from spinnin' out.

Somedays are better than lovers. Somedays, you just can’t figure out. Somedays are better than others. Somedays you just can’t get out.
