Kanye West "The Good Life"
I don’t understand why this song didn’t blow up on radio. In any case, this song was the anthem on the last marketing tour I was on. No matter how many times it played in our Tahoe, it never got old. It’s the perfect song to set the long weekend off. Be great.

Young@Heart performance of "Fix You"
Yesterday I worked a movie premiere for the film, “Young@Heart”. It’s a film about how much music can uplift anyone no matter the age. Every member of the Young@Heart chorus is at least 70, maybe 80 years old. I wasn’t going to stay and watch the film but I had an inclining that I should. It was the best 90 minutes I’ve invested in something in quiet a while. The performer here is Fred...

Gomez: "See the World"
I woke up today with a list of things to do. One of them was to put on some white shoes and travel the globe. Thanks to YouTube and Gomez, I could do it from the comfort of my bedroom. If you get the chance to see Gomez live, please do. Sadly they aren’t coming around Upstate NY. But if you happen to be in my old stomping grounds of Norwich, England (where I studied abroad) you can...

Mac and Jackson Wonder Potion
I spent yesterday (Sunday) riding through the Finger Lakes with my cousin Emma and my uncle hitting up wineries. I’m convinced that Upstate has a little bit of everything. When Emma and I were young, our parents, huge Beatles and Paul McCartney fans, used to play this song. Em and I would become little dancing machines. Now, more than 10 years later since those living room dance parties...

My Morning Jacket performs "Gideon"
My Morning Jacket. What can ya say about them? Probably that you haven’t heard of them, especially if you are from the Upstate NY area. Well friends, have no fear, I’m hear to hip you to them. They are a rock band from Louisville, KY that pulls influences from indie, southern, and country rock. I caught them at the music festival Bonnaroo a couple years back and I was left in...

Oasis (new track)
Apparently some new Oasis tracks leaked onto the Internet yesterday. Word is that the three songs are demos for their next album. Of the three songs, ”I Wanna Live in A Dream” is the one I like best. It’s not much to look at, but this is the only way I could get the track out. Get at it before the record company pulls it from YouTube. LYRICS to “I Wanna Live in A...
Two(fer) Tuesdays
Not that I hear too many DJs use the clever phrase above, but that’s bc I don’t listen to the radio all that much. There is only so much “I Don’t Want to Write You A Love Song” song I can take, so I’ve been known to drive with my earbuds in my ear canal. Venting aside, today we’ve got The Vampire Weekend performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I don’t...
