One of the best things that Dolly ever did was the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which featured the song "I Will Always Love You." And I'm going to tell you, that's not the best song in the movie. This is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOzi...

I miss thumbing through records to find something to listen to, but I don’t miss having a large record collection. I miss flipping through CDs, but I don’t miss all that stuff in my house. But I wanted to bring a little physicality to my digital music. And I think I like what I’ve come up with.

Last night's celebration of Moya Brennan is up and online! If you couldn't tune in, you can always listen when you like.
podcasts.cyberpunklibrarian.nohost.me
Episode 08 - O'Morain's Pub - For Moya, With Love
We lost a rare one, lads. And I couldn’t let her go without a couple of hours of her music and the Celtic music that she loved so well. Moya Brennan, born Máire Philomena Ní Bhraonáin, passed away last week at the age of 73. She was often called the First Lady of Celtic Music and you’d have a hard time finding anyone who might challenge that. She was a trailblazer with a timeless voice, no matter whether she was fronting Clannad or running solo. She’ll be missed, and yet her music lives on. So, let’s have a little celebration of her life and her songs.

On of the more surprising things about starting Adderall at the tender age of 49 is that I changed the music I listen to while writing SQL. Used to be, it was always ambient and space music. Now? Punk. The genre shift is freakin' wild, but I love it. And for that, there's Radio Antenne Punk Rock.
