Songs that Make You Happy
Ever since moving out and leaving my extensive music collection behind on my family computer, I've been more or less without mp3s. I'd listen to my mp3s pretty much nonstop for hours on end (the joys of being a student and having a sountrack while working away on the computer!) Keep in mind, as well, that I don't have an ipod. (Weird, I know.)Years earlier I had downloaded the Last.fm widget wh...

The Beta Band's back..... in the form of Beck.

Artist:
On my drive home. I was listening to the radio today (the wonderful Zone 91.3 FM from Victoria) and this fantastic song came on. It was the Beta Band. I was floored-- a Beta Band song I had never heard before, but a Beta Band song I instantly loved.Okay, so I knew there was just no way it could be the Beta Band, but the voice, the music, the structure, the strange, spacey but uplifting prog-rock-i

Erin's Music Challenge! Challenge #1
I have just started a new job which involves a somewhat regular trek out to an area 1.5 hours away from my home! This means I’m spending at least 3 hours in the car on a fairly regular basis.

It’s a good chance for me to listen to things like albums I hav

Random Words + iTunes Search Field = instant playlist!
I use iTunes to play my music. Sometimes I'm looking for a specific song to play, and I type its title or album or whatever in the search field. Usually I only have to type a single word, or even just a few letters, to get the song I want. This leaves a few other songs in that list, which will automatically play afterwards.Using this method, almost without fail, I discover music that I didn't eve

Mixed Tapes Pt I
My sister and her boyfriend are embarking on a mini-roadtrip to one of my favouritest destinations in the world, Tofino. I have a hard time describing Tofino. It's kind of on the edge of the world. It's on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Getting there involves a 2-hour ferry ride from Vancouver, then a 3-5 hour drive across a mountainous island on a long, winding highway through old-growth ...
