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.

March 2024 Purchases – Some CDs, One Book, and One Vinyl Record
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 →
The Black Crowes’ ‘Happiness Bastards’ Marks a New Beginning for the Band | Album Review
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 →
The Black Crowes Are Happy Bastards and They’re Proud of It! | Concert Review (Super Bowl Weekend 2024)
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 →

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 →
Reflections on the Year 2023
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 →
Breaking Down My Spotify Wrapped 2023
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....

November 2023 Purchases – Just Some CDs and a Whole Lot of Goodness
First of all, I’m nowhere near as good as my friend, John from 2loud2oldmusic, when it comes to these music purchases blog posts. However, November was a special month because three of these albums were from a record store in San Francisco and two of them were from eBay. I didn't just buy stuff from... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Songs from Fall 2023
I haven’t done one of these posts in three years, but suddenly, I had the urge to do this after finding a song I’ve been searching for over a year, which we’ll get to later on! It’s pretty self-explanatory; I’ll talk about my favorite songs from Fall 2023. These aren’t just rock songs, though. They’re... Continue Reading →
My Top 10 Album Closers
The album closer is just as important as the album opener because if the last song sucks, listeners may feel disappointed, like they wasted time on that one record that ended on a sour note. This a follow-up to a previous post I did titled, My Top 10 Album Openers. Now, I’ll focus on my... Continue Reading →
