What do you mean I haven’t ripped my Aretha Franklin yet? If you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning in 2009, which, according to the numbers you haven’t, you would know that ripping my CDs to MP3 format is a multi-year process. We’re coming up on 5 years now. And today I learned I…
Every year I participate in an exercise – Beatles Week. No, it’s not like NaBloPoMo, an organized event for bloggers, but it should be. At this point I’m the only one who does it. Originally created by Mark on his personal blog in 2008 I followed suit in 2009 and have been “carrying the torch”…

I am stealing this idea directly from Chris Read (Canadian Dad) and while it wasn’t an original idea of his, it was because of his post that I’m creating this one. Top 5 Driving Songs His were summer specific but I’ve got no qualms about driving with the same music in the summer or winter….
I have a cassette player for the first time in well over a decade. This thrills me more than you can imagine. I still have a large number of cassettes, even after going through and purging my collection years ago. I had been thinking of picking up a portable CD/cassette player for a while,…
Okay, that was enough about the logistics, what about the music? Rock Werchter had plenty of music. Unfortunately a few of the bands we really wanted to see were on the first day. Still, most of the acts we were actually travelling to see were yet to play. We arrived on the first day and…
