Random rules
In the old days you had to push play for a cassette, put down the needle or eventually press play with the cd. You normally started at the beginning and played til the end. To discover a new band you needed someone to tell you or maybe you would see them at a concert. Then the internet happened.

A Guilty Pleasures Playlist
Introduction I am listening to the album "Collaborations Don't Work" by FFS. You see FFS and think, or well I do, "For F*cks Sake" but this is a Franz Ferdinand / Sparks collaboration and very good it is too while I think being steered by the Mael Brothers with the excellent angular sound of Franz Ferdinand I do love it.

A Life of Music
I feel that I'm only alive because of music. Let me explain, most of us love music and a lot of us feel like we're the only one's that experience music on a deeper level than most. But I can honestly say that music affects me so deeply that it has literally saved my life on a number of occasions, I have suffered from depression for as long as I can remember and I remember the feeling of wanting my life to end around the age of 15. At that time I was on my way to becoming the artist I am today and doing so with my music always in the room or on the go, (it was 1984 so yeah, I had a boom box don't judge.). I had to have it on all the time no matter what to the point that it made my parents crazy, even though it was really their fault. I grew up with my mother playing Fleetwood Mac "Rumors", Chicago's Greatest Hits or James Taylor all over the house, while in the garage on any given Friday or Saturday night, my father would be listening to Merle Haggard, Waylon & Willie, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones or he would have WYSO radio playing bluegrass. I loved all of it and I couldn't get enough of it.

The Naked Brothers Band
Before there was Big Time Rush, there was the Naked Brothers Band, a preteen rock band with actual real-life brothers Nat and Alex Wolff and his bandmates: Rosalina, David, Qaasim, Thomas, and Cooper. They were in a television film and a spinoff series that became the highest-rating show on Nickelodeon. Now if you were around in the 2000s and have watched the Naked Brothers Band show I bet you are wondering if the show was unscripted but it's not. It is a fictional scripted show with a band in a comical and dramatic twist.

Dancing To My Own Beat
Throughout highschool and college and my twenties really, I wasn’t much into music. Sure, I always liked music and have many nostalgic moments based on songs, but my experience was basically limited to Top 40 and Casey Kasem (pre-2000s). Nothing at the time really grabbed me in a life-altering sense. Actually, I found it rather boring - until I discovered many options beyond Top 40.
