Morning Music: Oceans

I first fell in love with Rob Dickinson’s voice when he sang with Catherine Wheel and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I recently got a chance to watch Rob Dickinson perform live in Toronto with Neverending White Lights. For most of his set it was just Rob with an acoustic guitar playing songs from his [...]

Drowning in Lemonade

The old cliche goes “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”
I’m beginning to drown in the lemonade but I’m hoping for a lemon shortage in the next couple of weeks.
I’ve been on the internet little the last few weeks and have neglected not only the blog but twitter, facebook, friendfeed, seesmic, etc.
I’ve been told several [...]

Morning Music #9 - Workin’ Hard

Just a quick post today. Busy busy day!

Have a great Sunday!

Morning Music #8 - Saturday’s a Mad World

Usually I do not like cover versions of songs. Especially songs I like. I really would prefer artists to create their own original songs over covers. Usually.
My daughter became obsessed with the movie Donnie Darko a few years ago. One of the featured songs in the soundtrack of this film was an updated version of [...]

Morning Music #7 - the @davidusher edition

When I woke up this morning I really didn’t have anything specific in mind for today’s Morning Music. It’s raining and cold again after a week of sunshine and spring and I’d likely have gone with something moody to suit the rainy day.
As I was doing my usual morning caffeination and catch-up I noticed [...]

Morning Music #6 - We Are Family

I’ve been thinking about how my “family” has grown over the past year. I’ve had online friends and been part of online communities for over a dozen years now but the last year my involvement in the Twitter community and in smaller part the Facebook community has brought a lot of great people into my [...]

Morning Music #5 - Everyday People

I am everyday people…

I’m not sure why I woke up with this song in my head this morning but here it is. Everyday People is from Arrested Development’s 1992 album 3 Years 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of–
It’s an album that got a lot of play in my house in the early [...]

Morning Music #4: Happy Birthday Mr. Brogan

This morning is Twitterville Mayor Brogan’s birthday. I wanted to find a song that sums up all of the things that Chris Brogan has brought to the Twitter community and the various other social networks he’s involved in. I wanted to make a statement about what Chris Brogan has done to affect how I personally [...]

Morning Music #3

It’s Monday! I absolutely love Mondays. A new start. A fresh week. Unlimited potential.
This morning I’m listening to Muse - a band from England that I’m really starting to get into. Here’s Sing for Absolution from their album Absolution released in 2003.

You can check out the Official Muse website for more info about this band.
Enjoy [...]
