We've been on hiatus this week test driving cars and listening to snarky salesmen pitches. What I wanted was a sports car so rad it would magically melt the clothes off any hottie on the street. Alas, what I got was a whole lot different. W e ended up with an affordable and easy on the gas Kia Sportage. I will say for a factory job, the audio system is banging, equipped with Sirius sat radio, a USB connection, iPod/mp3 player jacks. It also comes with all [...]

I've figured out part of my current problem and come to the conclusion that one reason I'm not able to listen to much new music these days (and hence am not writing much about it) is because my iPod is way too small. I only have a Nano, which barely holds 400 songs, and so I'm constantly listening to the same stuff over and over. I feel like my musical field of vision is getting progressively narrower and I don't like it. Now, it's not that I don't put new music on it [...]

As one of the world's only female Scotch whisky experts, Heather Greene has quite a life. After selling out venues throughout the U.S. and Europe and receiving exposure on major radio stations worldwide, Heather moved to Scotland to explore her heritage and work on her music. It was there that Heather discovered a zeal for whisky. Arriving in Scotland, she threw herself into the world of Scotch, and her voyage of discovery led her to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Edinburgh, where, as the first American woman to be invited to serve on the tasting [...]

Heather Greene | Union Hall | October 8, 2009 With the release of Heather Greene's Sweet Otherwise this week, a party was sure to follow, and considering she's one of the few female Scotch whisky experts, the party was going to be good. Last night that party happened at Union Hall where Greene and her band played songs to accompany the whisky-themed evening. Sure, there was whisky-tasting (I am still hungover from drinking three different types of whisky) and free whisky drinks, but the star of the show [...]

A good album changes your mood to fit its own tone. Reaffirming and uplifting, pacifying and soothing, or emo and suicidal; the music should exert its power - in a subtle way if not using a direct assault between the ears. The problem with this jazz-lite/folk release from New York singer-songwriter Heather Greene is that the mind-meld only works when I am already feeling pretty mellow, and succeeds (if you can call it success) simply as undemanding background music to which little attention need be paid. That, however, is not how I care to (hardly) listen to music. Unfortunately, [...]
