Down to the Bits That i Left Uptown

Whenever I am feeling content, disillusioned, overwhelmed, or just plain happy- musical treats to the rescue! Predictable (from me) yes, but oh so good.

Dancing to nowhere, I'm losing my head.


It's the way you stood.


The East means so many things.

Too Young to Burn

Really love this new Sonny & the Sunsets LP, Tomorrow is Alright. LP comes out 11/17.



This is the first track, Too Young to Burn.

"For some reason we tend to make a distinction between hearing a sound and feeling a vibration, in reality they are the same thing. It is interesting to note that in the Italian language this distinction does not exist. The verb 'sentire' means to hear and the same verb in the reflexive form 'sentirsi' means to feel..." An interesting read on Hearing.

Michael and the Mumbles record is out! Michael from the Michael Yonkers Band! Mid 60s garage rock before he went all psych. Before the Michael Yonkers Band, There was The Mumbles

If you don't know the Michael Yonkers Band, definitely pick up Microminiature Love (1968) which was only released in 2002.
