  • October 15, 2023

    While walking to my haircut appointment this afternoon, I realised that I don’t actually listen to the words in songs. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a walk with my headphones on, something I love to do, so I haven’t been paying such close attention to what I’ve been listening to. Chelsea Cutler has…

  • What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why?

    What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why?

    Soon after getting my first car, I would drive to a neighbouring town to smoke cigarettes. It became a regular habit of mine. It was easier for me to stay awake later back then.

  • Music vs TV

    Music vs TV

    I don’t know how to find the cable channels that I pay for. There should be 30 that I have access to among the 9999 in the guide. I’m not bothered, though.

  • Some Thoughts on the AirPods Pro

    Some Thoughts on the AirPods Pro

    I had the AirPods Pro for about two weeks before I returned them. I took them to the Apple Store because they weren’t charging properly. The suggested solution was for me to return them and then repurchase new ones when they’re back in stock, a month from now. I’m not sure if I will but…

  • I’m up too late

    Not having anything to get up for in the morning means that I stay up late. I did some laundry, which is now clean but still in the hamper. After the laundry, I did an assortment of things. Here’s a picture that sums up my evening. Bonus points if you know what song was playing…

  • I’ve Been Loving This Tune Lately

    I’ve Been Loving This Tune Lately

    There’s something about country music that makes the sunshine feel like summer. Sometimes I feel stuck in the city, often wishing I could just drive away into the prairies, chasing highway mirages. Sitting on the beach in Mexico feels like it was too long ago. Hopefully I’ll get some good park-sits in this summer. P.S.…

  • Just, Loud.

    I’m that jerk that pulls up next to you at a stop light, music blaring out of every open window, including the sunroof. I’ve got a loud enough muffler on my car, as well. Used to be, there’d be a puff of cigarette smoke pouring out of the driver’s window, too. Terrible lane-neighbour, I know.

    Please Subscribe to SonicRetreat

    My buddy who runs the blog SonicRetreat has been talking about discontinuing it; his URL is coming up for renewal or something silly like that. He keeps up on a lot of music, and his posts are very current. The exposure to new music and artists is a good thing for you, if you’re into…

    Too Stay or Tuesday?

    I was digging this tune while walking around this afternoon. [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/66816169″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

    Sam Smith – A Musician

    I don’t often promote musicians, but what the hell? I haven’t had much to write about lately, and this guy’s pretty good. I first heard of Sam Smith when I discovered “Latch” by Disclosure. I recently learned that he has a new album coming out, and the four tracks that iTunes let me download are…

    I have friends. Some of my friends venture new projects. I like to support my friends when they do these things. So, here, for you, is a new blog to follow: SonicRetreat. It’s about music — something I rarely write about. It’s only four posts deep, at the time of this writing, but I get…
