By the start of the first chorus to Take You Home by Scars on 45, I can feel the tears well up for some reason. Not sure why I have such a quick, emotional response, but I guess sometimes art does that to you.

Sina’s drum cover of My Sharona by The Knack
Born in 1999, Sina is a young German drummer and musician who has been doing drum covers on YouTube since she was about 14 years-old. This is her recent drum cover video of "My Sharona" by The Knack, which I'm embarrassed to say was an anthem, of sorts, at my Catholic...
Lady Gaga interview with a clearly impressed Stephen Colbert
Endearing interview with Stephen Colbert and Lady Gaga. Clearly, Colbert was deeply affected, surprised, and blown away by Lady Gaga’s performance in Bradley Cooper’s version of A Star is Born.
Oceans ~ Cold Ain’t For Me
Beautiful, young people in tropical, pristine locations with melodic, laid-back music. I felt a deep, rooted vibe from this video. The slow moving images triggered strong feelings of nostalgia for the carefree days in my 20's. Oh, to be back to those days again. It...
“Imagine” cover by Pentatonix
I found a lot to love about this Pentatonix cover of John Lennon's Imagine.
Bruce Springsteen – You Never Can Tell…what’s gonna happen
Totally Boss response to fans' request to play a song Bruce and the band had not played in a long while. I loved every second of how they worked that out...on stage...in front of the audience. Fantastic! As someone on Facebook commented: "I wish I had 1/10th as much...
One Week – Barenaked Ladies ~ College Humor Parody
Like so many others, once I heard Barenaked Ladies One Week, I couldn't get it out of my head. Then it was played again and again and again.... This parody by College Humor is spot on. Lyrics in video subtitles. And in case you're masochistic, or nostalgic, or just...
Coming of age musically with Blue Oyster Cult while in Catholic school
My Mom loved rock music of all sorts. So when I came of age (musically speaking) and found a song and band I loved, it didn't matter that the band had a satanic cult reputation and I was going to a Catholic school. If I liked Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult,...
Vet Ranch theme favorite – Rosa Dear ~ by Ruth
Rosa Dear by Ruth ~ I heard this song while watching videos from the wonderful YouTube channel "Vet Ranch." They use it during closing credit, and I love it. Official music video for "Rosa Dear," off Ruth's record "Voilà." As heard on the YouTube channel Vet Ranch....
Welcome Home, Son ~ Radical Face
I notice this song, "Welcome Home, Son" by Radical Face, on the closing credits of the documentary, Forks Over Knives. I liked the acoustical guitar melody. But after reading the lyrics, I can't say I understand much of what they mean. "Sometimes you've got to just...
Renegades ~ by X Ambassadors ~ Jeep Commercial
Yet again, my music taste is expanded by music used in a commercial. As Apple did for Feist's "1,2,3,4", Jeep does for the X Ambassadors' "Renegades." I simply can't get the melody out of my head, nor the message out of my soul. We all need to be Renegades at some...
