1001 Albums #27

I have heard of The Everly Brothers, but not really any of their music, except maybe “Cathy’s Clown” their biggest hit. The good thing about their album A Date with the Everly Brothers is that it is a short date. All of the songs are under three minutes. The Bee Gees, Oasis, The Carpenters, The […]

1001 Albums #10

Was there some sort of jazz explosion in the late 50s? I am not sure I can handle much more of the chaos. I am struggling with my own head at the moment without all the chaos of another jazz artist. But I started this and I am that person that will usually finish what […]

Bohemian Rhapsody

I can official start my hunt for the best film of the year. I can tell you now from the beginning that I watch films to escape and to feel something other than the crappy way I feel every day. If Bohemian Rhapsody is not nominated for the Oscar for 2018, then I will never watch […]

1001 Albums #7

Oh no, Frank Sinatra has another album in the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list that I am working my way through. Wasn’t one depressing album enough? Songs For Swingin’ Lovers! has a title à double sens. I will let you figure that one out. It is definitely different than I expected, […]

1001 Albums #6

Jazz music is not something I would normally buy, but if you are looking for something to listen to while you clean the house and you want it to sound like chaos, then Duke Ellington’s Ellington At Newport 1956 is the album for you. It is only music and some interludes of Ellington speaking to […]

1001 Albums #2

When I saw that Elvis Presley’s first album was the second one on the list I felt relieved. I know who he is because my grandfather watched his films all the time while he was getting his drinking done. I know a lot of Presley’s songs and he is the “King of Rock and Roll.” […]

1001 Albums #1

When I started looking at the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die I realised that there are so many albums I have never heard of and so many albums that I have no interest in listening to at all. And I thought I have loved music all my life, but I have […]

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

I used to write a lot before I moved to the USA five years ago. I suffered from a deep depression that has never left my side and it is partly due to PTSD and the rest is none of your business. No, I was not a soldier in a war, unless you consider my […]

Musée Gallo-Romain de Lyon-Fourvière

Yesterday we took the funicular to the Musee Gallo-Romain, which is the Gallo-Roman Museum of Lyon in English. It is a site of the ancient Roman city in Lyon. It is very interesting if you are into looking at the way people lived 2000 years ago. i love visiting these sites because i find it […]

2012 In Music

Thursdays are always about music for me. On my computer i have a list in Winamp that i rotate every Thursday. This past year was one of the worst years in music history, but that is my opinion. Everything seems auto-tuned today, even the artist that can sing are auto-tuned. It is a bit sad, […]
