The Desert of My Dreams

I got to see Sarah McLachlan this weekend at the Bridge School benefit. She was amazing as always. It was an acoustic set of just her on the piano or guitar. She performed (not in this order) Building a Mystery, Angel, Adia, U Want Me 2, Don’t Give Up on Us, World […]

Just a quick update (in case you didn’t catch this in my Twitter stream) - Sarah McLachlan has released a new single today (listen here). It is supposed to be available on iTunes but I couldn’t find it this morning. I really hated it at first listen but it seems to be growing […]

Leave a comment and I’ll give you a letter. Then you must think of 10 song titles that start with that letter (as well as the artist), without using Google or other cheats.
Srah gave me N.

OK Go, one of my favorite bands, is holding a dance contest, utilizing YouTube in a very interesting way. Judging by the two times I’ve seen them in Ann Arbor at the Blind Pig, the band has a fairly young (and rabid) fan following (late teens/early twenties). If you’re not familiar with OK […]

I saw Sarah Harmer at the Ark last night. It was a pretty awesome show - she did a nice selection of music from her three cds. She played several of my favorites including Uniform Grey, Pendulums, and Lodestar. Lodestar was my favorite song of the entire night. The song starts […]

MC Hammer has a blog.
He ends his blog posts with “hammertime.”
I don’t know why but I’m finding the whole thing way too amusing.

Today is Sarah McLachlan’s birthday, which could only mean one thing three things four things:

I’m listening to Sarah all day.
I’ve changed my wallpaper to a Sarah wallpaper.
I’m celebrating the occasion with a few close friends . . . friends who are cool enough to appreciate my idiosyncrasies . . . you know like deciding to […]

I just got back from seeing Dar Williams at the Ark. I still don’t get Ann Arbor’s fascination with the Ark (my high school’s auditorium could seat more people in a less dumpy atomsphere) but Dar was fabulous. She did a lot of new stuff, which I didn’t know but enjoyed nonetheless, and […]

On Tuesday evening, I came home to find that Amazon had sent me Bloom, Sarah’s newest release of remixes. Bloom has made my week; it is simply fabulous. My favorite track right now is the Sly & Robbie mix of Trainwreck.
I should note that the CD has some pretty annoying copyright protection. […]
