Road to Jerusalem

Road to Jerusalem – Road to Jerusalem

Yesterday was  Day 5 of my New Musician Challenge and, while I did listen to some new music, I didn’t get a chance to write anything. The Road to Jerusalem was a little more hard rock than the bands that are usually in my music rotation. However, based on what I’ve heard from The Road to Jerusalem (RTJ) I may be checking out a few of those bands that are listed as Related Artists on their overview page!! Read More

Great Progressive Metal from Poland – Art of Illusion

Cold War of Solipsism – Art of Illusion – Progressive Metal – Poland

One of the Progressive Rock (Prog Rock) albums that I have been enjoying over the last several weeks is Cold War of Solipsism from Art of Illusion.

One of the aspects I love about Prog Rock is that it is a world-wide genre. Prog Bands come from it seems almost every country in the world. And an example is Art of Illusion who hail from Poland that hotbed of Prog Poland ( no sarcasm intended). Read More

A Walk/Jog with a New Fitness Tracker and A New Album from Day Six!

Solitary League - Day Six

So last week I was searching on Amazon for fitness trackers. The main problem was that I wanted a tracker that had a heart rate monitor and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I discovered the Letscom Smart Bracelet. It does just about everything my Fitbit Charge HR does (except count floors) and does it for around $ 27.00. Read More

Edward Discovers the Retro Rock of Sweden’s Siena Root!

A Dream of Lasting Peace - Siena Root

Siena Roots Does Music the 60s and 70s Way and I Like It!

Yesterday,I was doing some organizing in my room, so I turned on Spotify. When I did a song titled “The Piper Won’t let You Stay” was playing. The longer I listened the more I thought,”Hey, I like this”  And when I heard the organ solos, I knew I liked it! The song was from an album released in 2017 titled A Dream of Lasting Peace from a band named Siena Root. Read More

Damanek - On the Track

Damanek – On Track  

The other day I was listening on Spotify to Sound Coloring the latest release from the Progressive Rock band The Adekaem. I had the music on in the background, while I was working on some projects around the house. So while I liked what I was hearing it wasn’t a really good listen. Anyway, when the album was over the music continued with a soundtrack provided by related artists. One of the artists was the band Damanek. The album was their 2017 release On Track.  Read More

Kettlespider – Kettlespider

So this morning I went on a short quest to find some new prog rock to which to give a listen. My first stop was progstreaming.nl. The first album that I listened to briefly was titled Latitude from a band called Lesior. It was not exactly what I was searching for. So I continued reviewing the albums. Actually, I didn’t go very far because the next self-titled album Kettlespider looked interesting. So I quickly went to Spotify to check it out! Read More

A Call During Run, Slows First Mile, But Leads to a Fast Run!

For All We Know’s Latest  – Take Me Home Provides the Music

:So today was a running day, I left about 8:15 knowing that would give me enough time to finish, take a shower and eat before 10:30 when I had to pick up granddaughter Zoe at school. The one thing that I didn’t remember was my wife had A doctor’s appointment at 10! One of the reasons that I forgot was that she was sick this morning and didn’t go to work. Read More

A Fine Day for A Great Run – Music by Karibow

A Fine Run Highlighted by a 9:52 Mile! – Yeah Me! – Life’s Little Victories!

Over the last few weeks I have been checking Weather.com’s rating for going for a run. Considering the conditions, clear skies, low temperature and humidity I figured it would be a high rating. It was 8 out of 10. That was slightly lower than I thought it would be, but still great. No excuses if today’s run wasn’t a good one! Read More
