I can’t believe we’re over halfway done with April! This year is flying by fast. For those of you that haven’t read My Favorite Songs from Fall 2023, how this works is I’ll talk about my favorite songs from a particular season and in this case, I’ll be sharing my picks from Spring 2024. Most... Continue Reading →
I don't do music purchases blog posts often because as mentioned in my November 2023 Purchases blog post, all of my CDs are usually from Amazon. Thankfully, March was a special month because Judas Priest released Invincible Shield (2024) on March 8 and The Black Crowes put out Happiness Bastards (2024) on March 15, a... Continue Reading →
Think back to 2015, when The Black Crowes called it quits for supposedly the final time. Who knew we would get another studio album from these guys? I’m not even sure if the Robinson brothers knew they’d release a new record in 2024. But you know what, props to them for putting their issues behind... Continue Reading →
Not going to lie, my first exposure to Free was through American Idol, when David Cook performed “All Right Now” during the semi-finals of season seven; I was 9 years old back then. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite performances from the show. “All Right Now” is a classic, for a reason,... Continue Reading →

After my Disney College Program ended, I was unemployed, so I had a lot of free time on my hands. While everyone was working, I had to stay home and look after my dog, Roxy. Of course, I ended up watching YouTube all day and I’d be lying if I said that my watch history... Continue Reading →
This post was inspired by two things. One, The Black Crowes recently announced their ninth studio album of original material titled, Happiness Bastards, which will be released on March 15, 2024. Two, Sea of Tranquility posted a video last week titled, “The UK Connection-Turn That S*#t Off!,” where Pete talked about how he tried numerous... Continue Reading →
I’m still in shock that 2023 is almost over; where did the time go? At the beginning of the year, I was still working at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida for my Disney College Program. After that ended in early January, I moved back home to Hawaii and was practically jobless... Continue Reading →
Ever since I saw Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) in theaters with my parents, I’ve wanted to see Queen + Adam Lambert live so badly. Five years later, that dream finally came true! It was even better that Lambert was their current frontman, since he was one of my favorite contestants from American Idol. He should’ve won,... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year again, where Spotify releases their yearly wrap-up of our music listening habits, which is called Spotify Wrapped. It’s obviously inaccurate because they release them in late November / early December, which is technically not the end of the year, and they don’t include music listening habits through CD and/or vinyl....
