Long time no blog...

I haven't been on here in so long. Things got a little crazy in my personal life. I am well aware that none of the links/downloads are currently working. I am trying to fix all of them... Bear with me.

"God can be funny at a cocktail party..."

This is such a beautiful song. I really cannot write much more than that about it.

Next stop...Wonderland.

Released in 2003, Wonderland, tells the story of the Wonderland Murders (aka Four on the Floor, aka The Laurel Canyon Murders) which occured in the early 80's. What is particularly interesting to me, was John Holmes' (yes, THAT John Holmes) involvement. For those that don't know the story...Google it. Okay? Those that do know have probably already seen the movie. If you haven't, or if sex, drugs and murder aren't your bag...check the flick out for the awesome soundtrack. Below are some of my favorites from it...

Terry Reid - Faith to Arise
Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind
Dobie Gray - Drift Away

Sleepytime.

Damien Jurado

It is rare for me to fall asleep without the help of...something. I typically drink a warm cup of tea (Sleepytime, of course), take a Simply Sleep, or listen to some soothing tunes. Occasionally I require all of the above. Here are some of my favorites off of my bedtime playlist. The playlist in its entirity contains about 150 songs, so I just chose a handful to link.

Goodnight.

Coldplay - Warning Sign (Acoustic)
Bon Iver - Re: Stacks (Daytrotter)
Damien Jurado - Everything Trying (Daytrotter)
The National - Lucky You (Daytrotter)
Ryan Adams - Drunk and Fucked Up (Live in Seattle)

This is what I call "baby-making music"...

Ray LaMontagne

Feeling amorous?

I may be alone here, but there is just something about this man's voice that screams SEX! to me. (Okay, maybe "making love" is a more Ray L appropriate phrase?) Whatever you wanna call IT, Ray's voice sure makes me wanna. These songs just make me think of rolling around in the sack on a rainy day. Check 'em out...and then take your sweetie to bed.
