Checking in ...

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. My apologies for not posting and, more importantly, not visiting and commenting. I guess when things stay busy for a while, it easily snowballs into a larger issue. In any case I hope to blog more very soon. And even though I have to keep this post a bit short, I must end it with two phenomenal songs:

Now I'm clearly not a fan of pop music. But, some pop musicians are just so talented that, with the right song, they transcend the genre. Alicia Keys is definitely such a talent. And "No One" is such a song.


I'm not sure, but I'm guessing "No One" is getting fair airplay on the radio. Hopefully this next song is getting it as well, but as an indie rock/folk rock band they might not be getting deserved airtime. In any case, this is a mesmerizing song that I could not recommend any higher. "Silver Lining" by Rilo Kiley.

Hi V, welcome back to the blogsphere. (I should talk) I understand how a busy life can take time away from blogging.

I've never seen Jenny Lewis before the Rilo Kiley video you posted, but she sure does remind me of Karen Carpenter.

I go around singing that God Damn song all day every day! I'm not a huge AK fan but there is something about that song.

Um and silver lining... quite scary cause I just blogged about that song a few weeks. Oh how i love Rilo Kiley!

Glad to see you posting, V. I thought you were falling off and giving up.
