I've been branching out a lot lately into my social media by making videos using Snapchat filters. I've been creating these characters for a few years now, sending them to friends, but I only just started sharing some of them in public. Now that they're starting to get some attention, I've been delving into them more and more lately, doing all sorts of stuff like music videos and commentary with a little bit of humor thrown in.

Once I had finished my quick hike to Kapena Falls, the next trek on my agenda for the morning was Manoa Falls, only about a fifteen minute drive from my first waterfall of the day. The Manoa Falls …

One of the best hikes I took during my time in Hawaii was the only one I acually prepared for ahead of time. Diamond Head is one of the more well-known tourist attractions on Oahu, and it was one I definitely wanted to visit. Luckily, I did a little research ahead of time and found out that reservations were required. I had also read that it was advisable to make an early reservation before the heat of day and the crowds set in.

My weeklong trip to Oahu in Hawaii was one of the best vacations I’ve ever taken and I could kick myself for not getting there sooner. The week I had in Oahu was filled with all sorts of acti…

It's been a long time since I've posted a Flashback Friday, so I thought I'd share a sort of double flashback with a Deep Dish remix of a Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks classic. I always thought this was a great version of the original and I think I know who I'll be listening to today...

Every so often, I come across a song that I completely missed when it first came out, but nevertheless I add it to my current playlist and regular rotation anyway. Such is the case with today's Song of the Day, a reggae jam from 2005 by the second youngest of Bob Marley's sons, Damian, along with his brother Stephen. I've always loved reggae music and it's been a long time since I've spent any significant time listening to it...until this song came along. All Night is a straight-up, formulaic, and upbeat reggae jam. It's oh so catchy and oh so fun! Take a listen...

I've been a big fan of Katy B for a long time, but I haven't seen or heard anything new from her in a long time. In fact, her last full album was 2015's Honey. Well, when I saw this song appear on my Spotify New Music Friday playlist, I grabbed it and threw it into my own. Avalanche is typical Katy B, with a bit of funky UK pop mixed with hypnotic beats. Let's hope there's more to come...

Today we're celebrating Thanksgiving Weekend Saturday with one of the funnest jams to come out of 2025. Here's a little bit of disco blended in with some R&B as Disco Lines gives Tinashe's No Broke Boys a nice, bouncy groove. Enjoy and Happy Saturday!

Once I had finished my quick hike to Kapena Falls, the next trek on my agenda for the morning was Manoa Falls, only about a fifteen minute drive from my first waterfall of the day. The Manoa Falls trail is much more well-traveled than the Kapena Falls trail, with several groups of fellow hikers also making the hour and a half round-trip hike to the falls.

Oh what a nice surprise greeted me late last week when I saw that Robyn was back with a new song, her first since 2018's very chill Honey record. From my first listen to Dopamine, I basked in the immediately recognizable, Robynesque sound; smart synth-pop beats, with catchy lyrics and a hook that lingers after a listen. If you love Robyn, I'm sure you already love this one, and if you don't really know her, now's a great time to give her a try.

Though the tribute performance for Outkast's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was entertaining, and featured the likes of Janelle Monae, Doja Cat, Tyler the Creator, Killer Mike, and JID, helping to perform their greatest hits, Andre 3000 did not to perform and so I decided to post my favorite video of the duo. Well, you can catch that performance…

As I mentioned the other day, this year's group of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees included several artists who I've faithfully followed over the years. In addition to Cyndi Lauper, I was very excited to learn that one of the original all-female rap groups, Salt-N-Pepa, also gained recognition for all of their contributions to the world of pop/rock music, and very deservedly so.

One of the things I miss most about not having cable television anymore is that I can't watch special live shows like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday night. This year's crop of inductees included several artists that I've followed over the years, like OutKast, Salt-N-Pepa, and the inimitable Cyndi Lauper. I did get to catch the entire segment of her induction on…

Carlson recently conducted a softball interview of Nick Fuentes, who advocates for racial segregation, praises Hitler, and argues that women should not be allowed to vote.

They're tough guys in the streets and delicate little babies in court.

The day after my hike to Ka'ena Point State Park, I decided to check out two waterfall trails located in the vicinity of Honolulu, Kapena Falls and Manoa Falls. Being a big fan of waterfalls and having seen many in upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Washington State, and Oregon, I wanted to check out some of Hawaii's famous cascades. I set out first to Kapena Falls, a little known waterfall located only a 15-minute drive from where I was staying in Honolulu.

Today's Song of the Day is one which I immediately saved in my Fall Jams 2025 playlist because although the title is a bit nonsensical, it's got such a bouncy, clubby feel to it that I liked it on my first listen. Check out Chloe Moriondo and Girls with Gills...

The title track and first single off Florence + The Machine's new album is just the tip of the iceberg from this collection of 12 new masterpieces from Florence Welch and her band of pop/rock baroque musicians. The song was released on August 20th to critical acclaim, with the new album, their sixth, coming out on Halloween. The singer says this is her most personal album to date, and I'm sure that all of the songs will be happily received by her fans, including me.

On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Joh...

The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.
