Videos like this help cheer me up when I am feeling the way I am now. I think even the members of Queen would get a kick out of this one. Technorati Tags: Bohemian Rhapsody, entertainment, fun, Muppets, music, Queen, video, youtube

After work today, I headed to the ice machine to load my cup with ice and water.  As I passed the breakroom, I saw Breaking News on CNN: Michael Jackson taking to UCLA after cardiac arrest.  I paused and wondered if he was okay and then I went on about my business.  Of course as [...]

I love this song. Some parts of it sound a little bit like Leona Lewis. After the first time I listened to it, I was hooked.

I love how people can get so creative with the Sims 2 characters and videos. I was looking for a J Holiday video and came across this Sims 2 video for the song Bed. Technorati Tags: bed, J. Holiday, music, Sims 2, video, youtube

Some days like today… I really want to get Far Away. Figuratively and Literally.

I love this song and these lines represent my life so much it is not even funny:

I wanna do the things we used to do.

Say the things we used to say.

Just like everyday, all day….

I don’t wanna forget all the love we captured the day we met.

We both keep saying that we wish that we could go back to those days when we played with each other just because. The days when we stayed up all night having a philosophical discussion or bummed around all day playing Zelda, only getting up to eat and go to the bathroom. Where did those days go? They nearly seem like a fading shadow in the field. You know I do not have a good memory anyway so I am trying to hold on to whatever I can.

On days like today, I sit in the rocking chair in my children’s room (by the way, why are they still cleaning up… it has been an hour!) and I listen to one of my favorite songs by Kindred the Family Soul. After listening to it about five times, watching the video two times and writing some of my thoughts… I am feeling a lot more calm than I was an hour ago. Breathe in Breathe out.

I came across this website and created a Last.fm Wordle that shows my overall tracks with the artists’ names. I would say this is pretty accurate with my favorite artists such as Alicia Keys, John Legend, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill and so on. This is pretty cool. Leave a comment here if you make one [...]

Friday Five

01. What types of portable audio devices do you use?

I have a 30GB iPod Video that I named ArdiPod. I also have many walkmans (tape players), cd players and two mini disc players that I have retired. Only the ArdiPod gets action now.

02. What format of music do you listen to most often?

I listen to 128 and 192 ripped .mp3s on my ArdiPod and my PCs the most.

03. How do you get your electronic music files? (pay service [i.e Napster, iTunes, eMusic, etc.], file sharing, artist/label web sites, etc.)

I do not purchase electronic music files these days. I used Napster in the good old days. I tried the paid version of Napster and I did not care for it. About 2 years ago I purchased a couple of albums electronically on Walmart.com. I only used that because a friend of a friend wanted the album.

04. What type of headphones do you use?

At my PC, I use the Optimus Nova 67 headphones and for my ArdiPod I use the standard earbuds. There are a pair of headphones that I would love to have, but they cost $99.00 retail at BestBuy *sigh*.

05. What is currently on your portable music player that you are using?

I currently have about 1,000 songs on ArdiPod. Way too many songs to list, but I have a lot of John Legend, Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and so on…

I love the latest hit from Alicia Keys. I am looking forward to her next album and I am sure that it will be as good as the others. She is so beautiful.
