Tune of the Week for 08/18/08 -- Coldplay, In My Place

2008-08-18T20:22:12Z

I'm no huge fan of this band, but the first time I heard about them was on an NPR program and I was intrigued. The program aired some time before they were on commercial radio. I'd never heard of them anyway, and they're all over the place thes...

Tune of the Week for 08/11/08 -- The Choir, Weather Girl

2008-08-11T23:47:56Z

Another "Hetta Music" feature! Shortly after Heather and I were married, I decided to buy her this CD. She had been saying since I'd met her that she felt like there wasn't anything out there anymore that she could really enjoy. She had basical...

Tune of the Week for 08/04/08 -- Blondie, Golden Rod

2008-08-04T23:47:42Z

I just completed dealing with a situation concerning our Internet provider that I will have to blog about in detail once we're done building the business site. UNBELIEVABLE! I admit that I was basically ignorant concerning Blondie prior to Heath...

Tune of the Week for 07/28/08 -- Erykah Badu, Tyrone

2008-07-29T01:51:09Z

This song was one of the very first tunes Heather played for me as a song she liked. I knew nothing about this artist before her. The song and album go back to the days when the guys she knew were generally scum and when she wasn't thrilled with...

Tune of the Week for 07/21/08 -- Midnight Oil, Bushfire

2008-07-21T17:52:50Z

I bought this Midnight Oil CD a long, long time ago, and it's never gotten old to me. I'm playing it as a part of the "Hetta Music" thing I've been doing for some time now because she likes this band and especially this album. Their "earthy" sou...

Tune of the Week for 07/07/08 -- Spinal Tap, Sex Farm

2008-07-08T02:18:04Z

With the posting of my last tune (and the subsequent appearance of my picture of Spinal Tap on Vox's home page), there's been some revived conversation and laughter in our place concerning them. Heather particularly likes Spinal Tap, and the tune...

Tune of the Week for 06/30/08 -- Duffy, Mercy

2008-07-01T01:53:24Z

In case you were wondering, the White Sox just swept the Cubs in a three-game stretch played at home. Although we live exactly one mile north of Wrigley Field, we're Sox fans and are quite happy about this! Anyway, here's another "Hetta Music" s...

Tune of the Week for 06/23/08 -- Def Leppard, Foolin'

2008-06-23T05:06:32Z

I don't think anybody who grew up around the time I did hasn't heard this song. I heard it for the first time when I was in junior high school at a friend's house -- the same good friend who also had a Motley Crue poster on his wall that scared t...

Tune of the Week for 06/16/08 -- The Unband, Piece of S**t

2008-06-16T22:40:22Z

I posted this tune once before, but it makes Heather laugh so hard that I've decided to post it again as a part of the "Hetta Music" feature. Again, if you're offended by profanity, you may want to skip this one. In my case, I think it's pretty ...

Tune of the Week for 06/02/08 -- Motörhead, Brave New World

2008-06-03T03:05:58Z

Yes, this one actually does fit into the category of "Hetta Music". I had just purchased Hammered, the album this song is from, when Heather and I were going out. As you may know, we dated for a little less than two months when we eloped. So th...
