My love for music started with a gift for singing which I share with my mother and sisters. I inherited a very eclectic taste in music from all of the different influences around me.

I guess it's been a little while since I've written anything! Last week I came down with a cold, and while it was nothing compared to the one I had in early December, it still had me moaning and groaning and asking for my mommy, and there were a good two days when I was unable to do much of anything other than stare off into space...

I stopped watching American Idol a few years ago; it was the same thing season after season and I got bored. In it's place I now follow America's Got Talent...

One of the things I had to do to prepare for my trip to Oregon was buy a few new MP3s to listen to on the plane. I got a few songs that have become popular recently, and a few old favorites I didn't already own...

There's something I really need to write about, but I'm waiting for someone to help me find something first. In the meantime, here's a little game I borrowed from Neil...

We were eating dinner at the bar at Dave & Buster's last night during the start of the Monday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. When pop singer Kat DeLuna began her rendition of the national anthem, the sound box was turned down very low, so I wasn't sure if I was hearing what I thought I was hearing...

Yesterday I was contacted by a promoter representing the Chicago band Liquor Boxx who asked if I would consider featuring the band on confoozled.com. After listening to a few tracks I was more than happy to oblige...

Whether everyone I've ever encountered in life is tone deaf, or this was just a cruel, cruel joke they all conspired to play on me for twenty-eight years, I don't know. But at least now I know the truth...

I had some fun tonight, that is, before spilling my drink all over my computer desk, singing Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi on The Sims On Stage. Enjoy...

What I discovered was that while I love all of her music and love singing along with her, her songs are actually very difficult to sing solo. This one was the only one I could bring myself to publish...

Look, there are other things you have to do to earn consumers' trust and loyalty besides just having the superior product. And I'm pretty sure that threatening them with legal action is not one of those things...

When asked why the files were not restricted with DRM, one of the companies' co-founder was quoted as saying, "Making a legal, paid-for version of the file less useful than a copied or pirated one doesn't make sense..."

Being a completely free service with no ads, I've wondered how they've been able to afford the royalties they already pay. Granted, they allow users to buy songs and albums heard on the service...

If you think about it, sound is just vibrations travelling through the air, and the louder the sound, the more forcefully the air is pumped. Intense vibrations like that could damage any part of your body...

Some encouraging news for those of us who hate having to jump through ridiculous hoops to get our legally purchased digital music to play where we want to play it, something we have a legal right to do. More consumers are getting mad and making a stand, and the record labels and content providers are starting to listen...
