Today you need to listen to Jerk It Out by The Caesars, also known either now or at one point, as Caesars Palace. While you’re at it, this happens to be the song for my “year dance” that we learned during frosh week. Here’s the address for the video of the dance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI2hXm6C0vs, bonus points [...]

I’m sitting in the lecture hall right now, waiting for class to start. I’ve never been this early before, it’s kind of weird. There’s like nobody here, and most of the lights are off, so when I came in everyone was sitting in the dark. In any case, I decided to whip out the laptop [...]

I don’t have any really exciting things to tell you, other than that the song for today is You Got Me by The Delegates. It’s a little ska, pretty fun, check it out!

I think today we’re going for some old school funk. I don’t know why, but it’s just that kind of day apparently. Check out Land of 1000 Dances by Wilson Pickett, and have a groove sesh in your bedroom.

Yesterday I went to the drug store and got $20 for the iTunes Online Store. When I got back, I downloaded the rest of Hey Rosetta!’s 2008 album, “Into Your Lungs”. I’d already had a couple tracks from it, but man, that album is so good. I think I listened to it five times all [...]

Today we’re going to listen to Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. Most specifically, try and listen to the “Mambo” from it, and more specifically, the recording by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. It’s available on the iTunes store, if you feel so inclined. If not, there’s also a fantastic version [...]

I am ridiculously tired. I’m thinking today better have a nap scheduled into it somewhere. And then I have to go play piano at a hospital with music I’ve only first seen last night, because I didn’t bring any music with me from home. In any case, I digress. Today we’re going to listen to [...]

Today we’re venturing into the world of original film soundtracks, with a track from the soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It was composed by Hans Zimmer, and the cool part is that there are actually no electric guitars featured in it, even though it sounds like there are. The orchestra was [...]

I think Grey’s Anatomy starts this week! I’m excited to watch it again, even though it’s a somewhat guilty pleasure. In any case, I’ve been listening to my playlist of songs from the soundtrack, and so obviously we’re going to listen to one of those tracks this week. Any watchers of the show will probably [...]
