Back in the mid 00s I created a Pandora channel named “Younger Guys with Guitars Who Sing to Me About How Great I Am” and even though he’s calling me an old hag on junk (half of that is true)…
Friday 5: Wrapped, Part 1
Happy Friday, which is also National Microwave Oven Day, and National Gazpacho Day (I ate a lot of this when I lived closer to Wegmans). And no, we still don’t have a microwave. We don’t have the counter space and…
Friday 5: Radio questions
Happy Friday, which is also National Peanut Day (I have one peanut plant in the garden!) and Positive Thinking Day which, okay. I try. It’s been a bit of a frenetic week. A lot of running around. A Phillies game,…
Tophouse – The Mountain Song
For your listening pleasure: Found where I find most of my new music these days: Tiktok. “Then came the sunshineThe clouds rolled back and color filled the earthAnd the rain had brought the flowersYou could sit and stare for hoursAnd…

Friday 5: Don’t tip the boat over
Happy Friday, friends! It’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day, Car Free Day (I take public transit at every opportunity, but I also think the car free movement can be unrealistic) and American Business Woman’s Day. I’m observing that day…
Bubbles up
TikTok made me do it: two songs and a cake
Yes, I have a TikTok account. My TikTok content is 85% based on who I follow and the content that I like (Disney, nerdery, happy dancing, humor) and 15% completely random content. For example, I’m currently watching the entirety of…
Spotify Wrapped 2022
Last year I started paying for Spotify again because I enjoy listening to its AI-generated playlists for me. I checked out my Spotify Wrapped summary for 2022 and it told me right off that bat that I listen to a…
What I’m Listening To: Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)
I’m usually not a huge fan of mashups, but this one with Elton John & Dua Lipa blows my mind. It’s part of “No Sacrifice” and part of “Rocketman.” The video is bizarre. Actually I’m pretty much into anything Dua…
