Friday Tunes: Sweet Child of Mine Cover by Taken by Trees
I’m always looking for great new music since I spend so much time writing solo. Every Friday I’m going to post a new favorite by a less well-known musician. I tend towards women singer-songwriters, though I love great hip-hop and classic rock too. And I’m partial to a variety of…
Bon Iver's Brand-new Video for "Towers"
Bon Iver – Towers (Official Music Video) from Bon Iver on Vimeo. Incredible video; very post-apocalyptic imagery. I watched it twice and think there’s an environmental theme going on here. What do you think it means?
Fleet Foxes Video, General Appreciation and New Album!
I love Fleet Foxes! I recently found them while looking around for some new tunes.

Stop and Think with Brett Dennen Before You Shop for Spring
Brett Dennen is my favorite artist of 2009 (so far); his lyrics speak to me about many things, including the beauty of life, appreciating each day, and retaining perspective on love. I’ve been listening to his three albums, “So Much More”, “Hope for the Hopeless” and his first, which is…
In Honor of Those Who Served on 9/11
Every year on this day we remember what happened. This year I wanted to remember those who served. Some we lost, and many are still suffering with lung disease, cardiovascular illness, and fatal maladies. The price so many have paid is beyond what anyone can imagine. One of my dear…
