Suffice it to say I am def an #OMD Super Fan. I was glued to the show. Andy looked at everyone in the eye, so engaging, fun and gracious (his dancing!). #Boston did not want them to leave. And #Waltdisco left us hopeful for the new gen of synth pop!

Itโ€™s happening OMD in #Boston tonight. Thanks to short-lived WXXP 100.7 FM, a whole world of music opened up to me in small town Pennsylvania, and I did not spend my youth listening to Top 10 pop music

I told myself I'd NEVER attempt a Sinรฉad song. I did it. I got chills while singing it then tears in my eyes while mixing it. My bucket list tour in a teeny venue was rescheduled 3X for Covid, mental health, then abruptly ended by her death. I'm still devastated!

"Heart of Gold" by Fiona Apple, I mean, Neil Young. Holy shit! When I heard this cover a few days ago off new tribute LP, I got chills up my spine. On repeat and had to try it. Cymbal crash at end!

Thank U | Alanis Morissette

"Thank U" is from Alanis Morissetteโ€™s 1998 album "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie". After putting the backing track together (the glissandos worked out perfectly!), India quickly came into the news on 5/6/25. It's all about the music - no political statement here on.soundcloud.com/2U2NDZYjTiq6...

Andromeda | Weyes Blood My voice teacher said my voice reminded her of Karen Carpenterโ€™s. I never followed her music, but I ran with a Weyeโ€™s Blood cover instead who, I think, sounds like Karen. Andromeda is from Weyes Blood

My voice teacher said my voice reminded her of Karen Carpenterโ€™s. Instead, I ran with a Weyes Blood cover who, I think, sounds like Karen. "Andromeda" is from her 2019 Titanic Rising album and is a space-themed love song :) I loved singing that C diminished chord on.soundcloud.com/9hzrcweFZRjR...

I left almost in tears. Undescribably emotional. An era long gone. Sounds and music made from instruments I can reproduce on my stupid laptop nowadays. That hot sun, dusty, dirty guys, gongs, baby grands out there. I didn't want it to end. Didn't know half the songs but now I do. I craved pie too.

Elton's first self-titled album from 1970 was in my parent's vinyl collection. I added some ahhh's and harms and decided to leave the drums out which come in near the end on his version. Very relevant today... "Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease"

I just finished up a songwriting class. By wk 4, I had the strangest burst of inspo. I found my key/chords & wrote the song in 1 hr. When I sang it for the class, no one knew what it was about:( I haven't changed it. I want the between the lines thing but I'll never be Michael Stipe to pull it off

I download them all, along with my personal collection, onto a 256GB player. Months of songs. On shuffle, long roadtrips are an auditory mishmash delight.

This was a vocal challenge for me, and I didn't realize it until I picked up the microphone. There was belting, head voice, chest voice, the works.
