Jewel has a new album out, and it’s a little more firmly in the country genre than she’s done before. Her songwriting and singing are just as great as always, like in I Do:
One song, in particular, that I love from the new album is “Two Become One.” It’s actually a remake from [...]
It’s been four years since Alanis Morissette last released a new studio record. Yesterday, her new album, Flavours of Entanglement, went on sale, and it really is amazing. Under Rug Swept, from 2002, and So-Called Chaos, from 2004, both were great, lyrically and musically… But the new record has a whole range [...]
And now, for a programming note.
Update: Wednesday morning, day two. Most of you visiting between noon yesterday and sometime late last night got the lovely “Site Temporarily Unavailable” message. Sorry about that. You can read more about why from InfoWorld. In the meantime, in case something else goes wrong before I [...]
I finally fell asleep around midnight. Yesterday was amazing. Going from a double-digit gap in the polls to win the primary in New Hampshire must be invigorating for Hillary’s campaign. I’m excited to see how the next several weeks go, since there’s still a lot more that’s going to happen before we [...]
I’m away from Southern California at the moment, but my thoughts are with everyone there. A close friend sent me an email this morning calling the situation “surreal.” The photographs and video footage I’m seeing really do seem unimaginable.

Tammy Faye Messner passed away yesterday. She was 65.
Growing up in southern West Virginia, I can’t remember not knowing Tammy Faye Bakker. I remember when everyone [...]
I have loved Maya Angelou for about as long as I can remember. In my office, at Kaiser Permanente, I kept dozens of cards from The Maya Angelou Collection from Hallmark. Birthday? Check. Get well soon? Covered. Loss of a friend or relative? Sadly prepared. Anytime anybody [...]
I believe in music therapy, too. For that reason, this post will be corporate intrigue free.
Kelly Clarkson has a new album, called My December, which is slated to be released on June 26. You should listen to Sober, the new single. I’ve had a chance to listen to quite a bit of [...]
I feel like I’ve mentioned this before, but, in most cases, the titles of each of my blog posts are segments from song lyrics that are somehow relevant (to me, at least) to the post itself. In this case, “Hid in the dark of their windows” refers to:
squint your eyes and look closeri’m not [...]
You’ve probably already heard about the new Foleo “mobile companion” from Palm, which was finally announced last week. You might also have already noticed the somewhat unenthusiastic reception the device and concept have found from journalists and bloggers alike.
Personally, I think the Foleo is an interesting concept that might just find or create itself [...]
