August was musically ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE. I found myself drifting back into my rock roots and I mean all things rock…alt, metal, scream-o, hair, etc. A good solid rock tune is the best. At the other end of the spectrum, I was crushing on the new Janet Jackson and Robyn songs and absolutely in love with the new Culture Club song. Music is … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2018
May did not have a theme nor a message. Just good tunes. I like it like that. It’s nice when the brain, the heart, the soul, the spirit, and The Universe is one. I was at peace in May and the happiest I have been in a long time. I’m grateful and it was not taken for granted at all. Listen on Spotify Listen/Watch on … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 2018
Some months have an underlying theme or feeling and some months don’t. At first glance, I didn’t think September’s song had a theme, feeling, or pattern, but upon further inspection I see it’s about letting go so you can receive more. Which in reflection has become my meditation mantra this month “I release so I can receive”. Listen/watch on Youtube HERE or below. Spotify* users … Continue reading Songs of My Life: September 2017
April, the month, saw the birth of April the Giraffe’s baby. Finally. Yes, I stalked the internet waiting for that giraffe to be born. April also had my head in a fucking god damn tizzy. I swung back and forth between “fucking hostile” and “fucking crying”. Finally, toward the end of the month, I landed in between both moods in the area of “fucking fuck … Continue reading Songs of My Life: April 2017
December started out on a positive note, fell to shit around the middle, and is ending in a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ <— I think that emoji really could sum up the whole of 2016 along with these 3 letters: WTF. It could definitely sum up the last week of December with the deaths of George Michael, Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Richard Adams and spaceman Piers Seller (and that’s … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2016
February was a short month but for all that is and was holy, it ninja kicked me in the face. Work made me feel like I was slowly drowning in ad plan after ad plan, stack of files after stack of files. Life saw my work out motivation quickly change from all in into, nope, not happening today or tomorrow or even next week. Somehow I survived it all. I always do. I am blessed by the Universe with inner strength even in the midst of a overwhelming, mentally exhausted breakdown of sobbing tears I remind myself to just breathe and bend, do not break.

DEAD SARA has gifted us with a wonderfully infectious track from their forthcoming album PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. If you’re a DEAD SARA fan, the song is signature DEAD SARA: gritty vocals, rocking guitar, and booming bass and drums. What I really enjoy about this song is the almost choir like opening. A tease of spirituality before you’re kicked in the teeth. The lyrics, “I … Continue reading TRACK OF THE DAY: “Mona Lisa” by Dead Sara

We still love Dead Sara’s cover of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box“. Both the electric and acoustic is fabulous, but the acoustic may be the better of the two in our opinions. Dead Sara covered “Heart Shaped Box” inFAMOUS Second Son for PlayStation 4 game. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc7JoNOt9iU?rel=0] Continue reading COVER: “Heart Shaped Box”
