Greetings from the gutter. That's where my mind is at the moment, and in honor of Valentine's Day on Tuesday, I'm going to spend the weekend splashing around down here, paying musical tribute to the next best thing two people can do together after falling in love (which, if you're lucky, will lead to even more of this). For those who prefer some music on the side, I've curated the perfect V-Day soundtrack. I didn't realize until I was halfway through that it's dominated by male performers. Female singers may move me more overall, [...]

Photo by Morgana We're back on Fridays again, after a delayed "Loved Songs #243. Since we used lots of goodies from this week on that one, the 25th edition will be a bit shorter than usual. Several really good ones in here too. I'm especially happy with the new album from Liechtenstein, the single from SoKo and the debut-album from Beth Jeans Houghton. Here it is, and please subscribe or share it around if you like it. It makes it worth [...]

What does it take to make a brand new day worth waking up for? Not necessarily the promise of great adventure nor the love of a lifetime, though I wouldn't dream of tossing either out of bed. Yesterday is hardly a blur, but on paper, it wouldn't qualify as the most memorable one ever, the greatest one-man show on earth, featuring a very special guest. So what did I get up to on Thursday, February 9, 2012 -- the 40th day of the year -- then? Most notably, after nearly an entire week, I [...]

The lessons in Cults ' new video for "You Know What I Mean" are that overprotective dads suck, and love always wins. I really can't hate on Brian, as I would go to the same exact extremes in order to secure Madeline's heart. Cults - "You Know What I Mean"

PORTALS is officially live! :

If you've followed me on Facebook before you know that I enjoy cooking (understatement!) and like to post pictures of whatever food I make. In the RV it's a little bit more challenging to go on any culinary adventures. I try my best but work space is limited as well as cupboard space and having lived in this thing for about two months I'm not quite stocked up on spices and tools either. We're also on a budget whereas at home we almost never got around to eating those leftovers. But as someone said - musicians tend to [...]

What once were scattered, off-key, and hushed, my voices (heart, body, mind, spirit) are becoming more and more steady and unified this month. After being fired from my full-time job, realizing I had been in a quarter-life crisis , ending a 6-year love saga in November, disappearing into the rainforests of Costa Rica in December, and bouncing around New York earlier this month, I've been settling in again at my mom's spare house here in Dallas/Fort Worth. It began with looking at this house and seeing how it looked and felt like me, broken down, worn out, and falling [...]

Try typing Daughter into your Google search engine and you'll be sure to find results varying from "female offspring" to "a shapeshifting humanoid ". However, upon a closer look you might just discover a true musical gem. As i'm writing this, a dub step version of Daughter's "Youth" sits atop of Hype Machine's most popular songs on blogs. And while this track is sure to soothe your soul, its nothing compared to the real thing. Daughter aka Elena Tonra is a 21-year-old singer/songwriter from the U.K, who has the lyrical maturity of someone twice her age. [...]

I was on my way home from hanging out in Dallas that evening when I called up my friend, Marlon and we ventured into the Gayborhood for a drink (of course, a water for me). It was definitely a night for testing our courage. We went out to the local gay cowboy club and watched people dance on the floor: a "queen of the night" Doc Brown type, a few Joes, and a rather dashing, sinewy Latin guy who caught Marlon's eye. I could see why! Triple rhyme not intended. He was very handsome and he could really [...]
