since someone you let in
has given what I gave to you?
-- Maroon 5

Where did I go?? What in the world? I have been a long time gone. Sorry! Anyway, something new, kids -- I"m going to now post a few entries about things that I love. We'll take a bit of a break from the rants and move to nice things.

On my list this week: Maroon 5!

This is the band that sings "Harder to Breathe". What a great tune and I picked up their CD "Songs about Jane" a few weeks ago and cannot seem to pry it from my CD player. Their stuff is fresh and cool. Very different than your average run of the mill pop or top 40 radio. I highly recommend getting their CD.

Ok, so that's all for today. Please be good boys and girls and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
in the kind of world where we belong
-- The Beach Boys

Yes, it is in fact true, I have rekindled my obsession with The Beach Boys. I grew up on oldies and country and the Boys are among my favorites. I caught the end of a John Stamos produced mini-series on them the other night. I saw this movie years ago when it was first out, but missed the end of it. So I got to see the end and I was once again hooked.

I went out to Best Buy and picked up The Sounds of Summer. It's a great collection, and I can't seem to remove it from my CD player. Anyway, you may think the songs about cars and surfing are infantile, but Brian Wilson is a genius and this music started a whole new kind of pop music. Long live The Beach Boys!
