Lyrically speaking….
November 4th, 2011 Chris Doelle This song has what has to be my favorite couple of lyrics of the year. The song is Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. I’ve highlighted the ones that do it for me. Fun stuff. “It’s been a really really messed up week Seven days of torture, seven days of bitter And my girlfriend [...]
The best marketed ambient music track ever…
October 19th, 2011 Chris Doelle It is being hyped as “scientifically proven to be the most relaxing song ever.” There are even hints that it may be “dangerous” to listen to while driving etc. The song is “Weightless” by Marconi Union. According to the study, in creating “Weightless,” the band uses a process called ‘entrainment’ to relax the listener – [...]
Say it isn’t so…
September 3rd, 2011 Chris Doelle I think the end is indeed near.. This from the Fandango website: “The Blues Brothers is being adapted into a TV series. The plot will find Jake and Elwood traveling across the country trying to find Elwood Sr. Each episode will include one main musical number with different musicians taking on the role of The [...]

June 5th, 2011 Chris Doelle As you know, I am a big fan of country music lyrics. No other style of music uses those great phrases. “Two of a kind, working on a full house,” by Garth Brooks is just one of the thousands of examples. The one I have to mention today comes from the song, “Honey Bee,” by [...]

February 7th, 2011 Chris Doelle As much as I have loved last.fm, they really dropped the ball this morning. While still unparalleled in term of tracking your listening habits, last.fm seems to have lost the “streaming radio” battle to Pandora. This is the email I received a few minutes ago —– Dear cdoelle, We want to share with you an [...]

February 4th, 2011 Chris Doelle Sure, hindsight is 20/20 but believe me when I say that the first time I heard Adam Lambert’s song, “Whataya Want From Me?” I thought of P!nk. I mean, it just sounded like something she would sing. I never really thought a lot more about it until I recently listened to P!nk’s new album Greatest [...]

December 31st, 2010 Chris Doelle Being a nerd, I love using nerd tools to analyze things. One of the nerd tools I have been using for the past five years is last.fm. This site tracks (scrobbles) all the songs played on my computer, iPod, iPhone etc. Sure, it doesn’t get all of them and sometimes it messes up, but it [...]

October 16th, 2010 Chris Doelle Okay, first of all this is NOT a scientific comparison. Your results may vary. I have been listening back and forth between Pandora, Last.fm and Grooveshark – so those are the ones I am going to discuss. If you know of other ones (and there are plenty) go ahead and leave a comment and I [...]
