Quicksand River

Jay has been playing some shows with his friend Brent Nettles, who just released his first album called "Quicksand River." Jay said it's one of the most enjoyable times he's had playing music live.

You should listen to Brent's music (you can download here). Jay's favorites are "Where We Will Go" and "Me and All My Friends" and I think mine is "A Dollar Bill":

90s Flashback: The Rest of It

In my quest to relive awesome music of the 90s, I realized that much of it is better to forget (MMM Bop or Tubthumpers anyone?) But here are some more of the good ones that we should remember together:

Matchbox 20 - "Hang" (1996):


Third Eye Blind - "Motorcycle Drive By" (which I already mentioned here...but I love it!...and this guy's pictures are hilarious with the words) and "God of Wine" (1997):




Oasis - "Champagne Supernova" (1995):

90s Flashback: Lisa Loeb

Remember Lisa Loeb?!? I guarantee you every girl between the ages of maybe 27 and 37 could still sing you every word to "Stay" off of her album "Tails" that came out in 1995 (that was 16 years ago!!).

I'm pretty sure I could sing most words to most songs off that album [update: actually not true - apparently I skipped quite a few that I didn't really like because I didn't even recognize a few], but these were my favorites:

Do You Sleep?:

90s Flashback: Fiona Apple

Remember Fiona Apple? According to Wikipedia she's still out there making music, but she's kind of been off the radar since her first album called "Tidal." She was 19 when this record came out! This is the same record that has "Criminal" and "Shadowboxer," but these are my favorites:

They sound sad, but they remind me of happiness and good weather.
