I donât have a song; the single song I associate my #1 relationship with or one that quintessentially harnesses my youth in 3 minutes or less for that matter. I was having coffee with a friend the other day and the conversation somehow wound around to her and her husbandâs âSong.â Eh?? Whatâs that? No,… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Love Songs on the Radio
[MP3] Astronauts, etc.: “Mystery Colors”
I am in San Diego, feeling exactly the opposite of the emotions this song evokes. However, it’s good not to forget my introspective roots. Lie down on your rusty roof, spread out, stare into the night sky…and listen. Astronauts etc. on Bandcamp | Facebook

The Ten Most Beloved Songs I Hate [Part 2]
[Read Part 1 | Illustration by Jen May] 5. Cher Lloyd – âWant U Backâ Are people stupid? Are people getting stupider? Is that a real thing thatâs happening? Is the Internet ruining our brains?

The Ten Most Beloved Songs I Hate [Part 1]
[Read Part 2 | Illustration by Jen May] As far as my ears are concerned, itâs 1967.

I have only the vaguest understanding of what contemporary popular… Continue reading The Ten Most Beloved Songs I Hate [Part 1]

Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. Dearest reader, I have a confession to make: For… Continue reading [Hype Hype Hooray] A Confession

Think I’ll go for a walk outside now
I adore my life here in Germany. No two ways about it. That said, while my mom has been visiting recently (hi mom!), Iâm of course reminded of those I left behind across the sea.

While such… Continue reading Think I’ll go for a walk outside now
