The original plan on my birthday was to try standup paddleboarding. The other plan was to lay in bed, take cough medicine and watch Dexter. Since the kid and the boyfriend were home and I wasn’t feeling tooooo bad, we decided to go to Put-in-Bay and possibly try kayaking. It was a pretty goodContinue reading “Bucket List Goal Complete: Kayaking”

Sleep Deprived Music Spotlight: Gary Clark Jr.
Back in the day, I was really into the blues. I listened to it. I learned about it. I loved it. Who knows why things change? So my YouTube Feed might be trying to get me back into listening to the blues. However, YouTube also sends me notifications about JoJo Siwa’s latest video. (It’sContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Spotlight: Gary Clark Jr.”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Campdogzz
If you liked Cowboy Junkies, then you may also like Campdogzz. They aren’t exactly the same but there’s a similar yearning/folk/bluesy vibe. The vocals by Jess Price are evocative, spooky and magical. I think they could do the soundtrack for a show about ghosts in the south. Someone needs to write that screenplay. HasContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Campdogzz”
Interview with . . . Halflives
Do you live a half-life or a full life? According to the band Halflives, we all live half lives. I was stoked when they agreed to do an interview. I was super stoked when they actually answered the questions. Halflives includes: Linda Battilani | Vocals Enrico Bertoni | Guitars & Vocals Oscar Scantamburlo | BassContinue reading “Interview with . . . Halflives”
Orchid and the Wasp: #bookreview
I’ve been reading Orchid & The Wasp for entirely too long. It wasn’t written badly or anything. Although, sometimes it seemed to get off track from the storyline. The characters, Gael and her brother, Guthrie, are in one of those dysfunctional families where the parents are more neglectful and selfish than physically abusive. The fatherContinue reading “Orchid and the Wasp: #bookreview”
Metal 101 – Guide to Metal by Metalheads.
Hi, I’m Chasing Destinos oldest child, Tenorsaxicorn, My SO Catsandguitarguy and I are going to walk you through different metal genres and the best bands in them. Some bands are in several genres because it’s almost impossible to make several songs in one genre. Without being incredibly boring and hard to listen to the same bandContinue reading “Metal 101 – Guide to Metal by Metalheads.”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: The Maytags
The Maytags may be the best thing to come out of Iowa since Blue Bunny Ice Cream. The description of their genre says rock and roll but that seems too broad. Their sound is more like old school R & B than anything. The Maytags have a kickass horn section. They released Love LinesContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: The Maytags”
Bucket List Goal Complete: The Butterfly House
I’ve always wanted to go to The Butterfly House on Put-in-Bay. So we finally went last week. We wanted to stay longer but they said, “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay.” I’m paraphrasing. Since the lost bucket list fiasco a few years ago, I keep track ofContinue reading “Bucket List Goal Complete: The Butterfly House”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Slow Kiss
Do you guys remember Mazzy Star? So imagine if their lead singer was not shy and was into punk rock instead of hazy shoe gazy music – then Mazzy Star would be really similar to Slow Kiss. Both singers sound similar to me. I’m not sure if they resemble each other physically so they probablyContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Slow Kiss”
Interview with . . . Kaiser Solzie
Kaiser Solzie might be a ghost of punk rock. But he’s got a band and a chance to tell his story. Can he and the band make a difference in the world? Probably. Can they tell an interesting story? Yes, definitely. If you want to know a little bit of the story, you canContinue reading “Interview with . . . Kaiser Solzie”
