Big News! Some of you have noticed that I haven’t been posting here as often as I used to, and there’s good reason for it. Real world work aside, I was recently approached by another blog to be their music editor. The site is www.BlurredCulture.com and I’m excited for the transition. Feel free to follow them on by CLICKING HERE. Though I won’t be posting here anymore, you can “follow” my personal profile ( https://www.facebook.com/DKLEE13 ) as I will be sharing my entries there. Thank you all for your support, and keep music in your heart. Cheers!

Late Show with David Letterman | My 10 Favorite Musical Guests

1 Comment

I don’t often watch late night talk shows these day, but when I did I usually tuned in for the musical guests. Now, this list is by no means comprehensive. I obviously haven’t watched the over 4000 episodes David hosted, so this is a list of the performances that I watched and that I can recall either actually made me WANT to go out and buy the band’s album or impressed the hell out of me.

MusicOfMyMind14’s 2014 Vinyl Selections

Leave a comment

I purchased a lot of music in 2014. A ton of CDs, a couple of cassettes, and a few digital purchases. I’m also a lover of the vinyl format … but with the generally higher prices for vinyl, I’ve had to be a bit more selective with my decisions as to what new LP gets added to my racks. Some of the selections were good, some bad … but what I’ve got for you here are a handful of LPs that I purchased that I’m particularly fond of.

Back in 2011 I had the pleasure of being introduced to a hip-hop group based out of Toronto, Ontario. A company I was working for was interested in bringing them in as clients, and my friend forwarded me a few tracks to check out. I’m very picky about the hip-hop I listen to.
