Apparently a blog should have a theme, a thread running through every post tying it back to the heart of the matter…in reading my posts, i do not, and I’m ok with it. My life is random, I’m random ergo, my blog is random….and continuing in that same vein…
Music. I love music. I love everything about it and can find redeeming qualities in most genres…i come from a musical family, although both my parents are decidedly handicapped in this area, not being able to carry a tune but they love it as well. My Dad has a record collection that must have been the envy of everyone back when vinyl was the new ipad…and now he has a CD collection that, no joke must be 1000 strong…and it’s all over the place…it’s great. My mom, she has the rhythm and likes to rock out…I can remember listening to the Pointer Sisters ‘Jump in’ back in the day, dancing around like a fool…Steve Winwood, Roxette, Paul Simon’s Graceland…just incredible stuff.
Then there are my brothers: Seth and Josh. Both musical. Seth is a musician, he plays slaps da bass for a living and does so quite well: www.sethsbase.com He was there to introduce me to Parliament and to buy me Dr. Dre’s ‘Da Chronic…’ a debt of gratitude I may never be able to repay.
Josh, well he’s been a bit of a mystery in terms of his musical tastes…I think he’s kinda all over the place, like me.
But we can all sing, and did so throughout high school and into college and we all like to do it.
Music continued to be a big part of my life while I lived in NYC, I had a couple blogs that would give me the dirt on who was playing where and introduce me to new music…and then when I lost a steady routine my thirst for ‘the new’ or different kinda fizzled. i still sing…not as much…and i definitely don’t go out and see enough live music. Which is funny because every time I go to a show, afterwards I feel a little more alive, a little happier, it’s weird…but music is definitely a part of my life that I have been neglecting and I think its high time to feed that side again…
so in that spirit here is a group called Pomplamoose. The name just makes them all the cooler in my eyes. i’m not sure if these two are dating, married, just good friends or what…but they work so well together. She has a sexy voice…think smokey bar lounge-esque and he can play anything and I pretty much want to be his friend. They exist solely on the interwebs, rarely performing live and are magnificent.

Take some time and explore…you’ll be happy you did. they also have solo projects which are pretty kickass…I particularly like Jack’s…gulf song is so very sweet. Again, would like to be his friend.
so yeah, I heart music. i think it’s pretty rad..and I think this might become a new “theme” for my blog to weave amongst the other randomness that is my life.
night.
