One Day

So this guy has been gaining popularity for a while. When I first heard about a Hassid Jewish rapper, I thought “What next”. But the truth is, this song is pretty catchy. One Day – Matisyahu.

No Line on the Horizon

Looking out to that horizon, today, on the release of a new U2 album, it seems appropriate to write to you all with a serious proposal. Namely, let’s look forward and think about a significant journey to Ireland. I’m not suggesting this happen next month, maybe not even this year, but if there is interest [...]

Maybe Summer for Texas?  Work has been really busy for me in the month of March, and I anticipate it continuing through May.  I think about you all often…. Here’s a few tunes that have accompanied me [...]

U2-3D

If you haven’t yet seen U2-3D, I highly recommend getting to your closest IMAX theater to take it in. It gives a whole new experience to “Vertigo.” There are some amazing shots, and the 3D quality of it is such that you feel you could reach out and take Bono’s glasses right off his face. [...]

Music of 2007

Since I live the self proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World” it is only right that my musical tastes have been largely influenced by what I’ve seen in concert. I’ve included YouTube links if you want to see concert footage of what I saw. It’s not my video but there’s always some fan with [...]
