30 Day Song Challenge - Day 8 A Song That You Know...
This felt like almost a cliche to put up here. Everyone who like rap knows all the words to Nothin’ but a G Thang- hell, lot of people that don’t like rap know all the words to it**. It’s undoubtedly a classic, but it sits up there somewhere between Juicy and Summertime as songs so solidly classic, that they transcend Hip-Jop’s reluctance to look backwards, and have been...

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 7 A Song That Reminds...
Cheap whiskey, torrential rain pour, the new three six mafia CD purchased that day from target blasting on the stereo, and myself, Selina and Taryn driving way to fast on icy roads trying to find a parking spot to go to Whiskey Bar against anyones best judgement. It’s a brief, and mostly inconsequential memory- I don’t remember the night we spent at the bar standing out all that...
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 6 A Song That Reminds...
Is there anything better than a good Summer Jam? Not just while you’re enjoying the season, but as the soundtrack to all of the rose colored memories. Summer of 2003 was during an 8 month road trip through the south, that culminated with couple months living and partying in Richmond VA. Richmond’s way to fun of a town, much like Austin in it’s capacity for stealing your...

My dad rules. I had a really rough relationship with my parents growing up- none of us were particularly good at our roles, but my dad is one of the most stand up, well principled, good hearted human beings I know. He’s also one of the coolest. I was born in 81’ in San Francisco because my dad played in an Elvis Costello-esque anglophile band there, playing on the same stages...

The 30 Day Song Challenge: Day 4 – A Song That...
Sadness is always most affecting to me when it’s paired with hope. Bleakness without the possibility of redemption or purpose usually is too desensitizing after a while to maintain the same strong reaction it evokes early from me early on. Jon Brion is ridiculously good at finding that balance for his film scores ( and often his solo work ) injecting a kind of peace and comfort into very...
The 30 Day Song Challenge: Day 3 – A Song That...
I grew up in southern California and live in Texas now, so though I’m a life-long non driver - I’m no stranger to old-school car culture and the songs about it. Classic cars provide a near blank canvas of paint combinations, accessories and modifications that’s only creatively surpassed by the language created to describe it in detail.
As Devin the Dude’s known for his...
The 30 Day Song Challenge: Day 2 – Your Least...
If the challenge to picking yesterday’s song was rooted in specificity, today’s seems the opposite. There’s tons and tons of songs and artists that I don’t care for, but I don’t engage with them much more than that. I’m just not one of those people that gets riled about about an annoying song much past wanting to turn it off. Sure some offend worse then...
The 30 Day Song Challenge: Day 1 – Your Favorite...
I saw Smoking Section’s 30 Day Song challenge and wanted to do the same on here- apparently it originates from facebook, so I don’t feel too bad about jacking their swagger, but big ups to them for thinking to turn it into a blog feature.
I could say that I was waiting for them to be done to start, but to be honest it was this the first category- your favorite song, that had me putting it off....
