  • Free Music Roundup

    I love free music! Especially free music that is being handed out legally and with love. A ton of good stuff has come out recently! Check it out: 2014 was a great year for (free) label compilations. Here are some of my favorites: Ghostly International x Adult Swim presents Ghostly Swim 2 — Mostly ambient electronic…

    These aren’t necessarily the “best” albums that came out last year, but they’re definitely the ones I’ve listened to the most. Alphabetically:

  • Christmas Music 2014

    It’s the week of Christmas, which means it’s time for wall-to-wall Christmas music at my household. But Sinatra, Ella and Phil Spector’s Christmas Gift for You can only get you so far.

I used my emusic subscription to the fullest and I was keeping up on all the big trends. Honestly, it was kinda overwhelming. I don’t plan to follow music…

  • Favorite Albums of 2010

    It’s my birthday, so I’d like discuss the albums I liked last year, no matter that it’s been 2011 for over a month. 1. Beach House – Teen Dream Slow and soothing sometimes, rocking other times.
