15 Albums That Changed My Life – Super-Sized Edition

10 Artists Who Should Stop Making Records
I hate lists like this one from MSN Music. In the way they are formatted making you go page by page to view each individual list item, it feels like a cheap attempt to drive up web traffic with posts that are virtually worthless. Yes, we know that The Who need to stop making albums. […]
Speaking of relationships….
I was having a great discussion with a friend of mine about a lot of different things, and talk shifted to relationships. We talked about how things can change, and with those changes, your eyes are opened, and the things that once mattered the most to you, are now the things you care the least […]
