Let’s Go!
I have the semi irregular tradition of listening to DePaPepe the Japanese acoustic guitar duo while reading 100 years of solitude. It’s a good tradition and it reminds me of spring in Japan cherry blossoms warmish weather green trees busy streets and the beautiful city skylines. Man, what a great memory.

Waiting to Mosh
These guys were bored during the Mars Volta set so they started up a game of checkers. I got bored too after a few songs and got in on match number 3. I played a strong game and felt like I had it won right up to the very end. Somehow my opponent made a…

Kuru Kuru Kururin
The pick up and play factor of this gem is golden. People have all kinds of reasons for turning to older games. For me I like the ability to just jump in and start having fun. Kuru Kuru Kururin is available on the switch on the game boy advance emulator. If I told you the…

The production quality and mastering sit well in my ears. There’s no major studio backing. It was basically a DIY project by good musicians. Here’s a tutorial of…

Winter 2025 Walking
This past year I’ve been exploring the Warhammer Horus Heresy series. After reading the first three books I listened to the Legion audiobook. It’s great for outside walks and indoor cycling. The experience is different than reading, but I will explore some more audiobooks while exercising. It might be worth looking into one of my…
