While I haven’t yet had the chance to venture out into public and survey a random group of individuals, I would wager that if I did, and in this survey asked folks their opinion of tribute bands, the general consensus would be ‘nay.’ It pains me to consider this, although I can understand the reluctance … More Tribute bands: yay or nay?
I’ve been using Spotify for a few years now, and I’m quite liking it for the most part. I can’t say I appreciate how their prices continue to increase annually, but that’s everything, it seems, and I’m also not a huge fan of their limited audiobook access (you get so many hours of listening each … More Have you tried Spotify’s AI DJ?
I am infinitely grateful to my mom and dad for introducing me to classic rock music from a pretty young age. They exposed me to other genres, too, like country and soft rock, but classic rock was almost always playing in our home every Sunday morning while we ate breakfast together as a family. It’s … More If you’re an Eagles fan, read this
I originally planned to title this post “What are your go-to running songs?” but I changed my mind because the latter option is a wee bit exclusive. Exercise can be performed in all sorts of different ways, not solely via running, so I wanted to ensure this post is as widespread and accommodating as possible. … More What are your go-to exercise songs?
I like to think I have a relatively broad taste in music, and I can thank my parents for this. Growing up, my parents exposed me and my sister to a wide range of musical genres; country, classic rock, Motown, and classical, to name a few. My favourite genres now in my adult years are … More Disco Inferno: an enjoyable experience
For anyone unfamiliar with the terminology pump-up song, please do not stress. In essence, a pump-up song is a tune that gets us going in one way or another; most athletes rely on music to light a fire under their ass prior to going out and competing, and songs that have the ability to ignite … More What are your go-to pump-up songs?
For anyone unfamiliar with Hoizer, don’t stress. I will admit I pity you if you haven’t heard of this incredible musician, but no hard feelings or anything of the sort. Referencing his Wikipedia page, Mr. Andrew John Hozier-Byrne (hence his stage name) is a singer, songwriter, and musician of Irish descent who hails from Newcastle. … More Let’s hear it for Hozier
I would wager that the prospect of hobbies and interests is one that has an allure to most of us. The notion of an activity tailored to our own passions must be one we would enjoy doing, as often is the case in the context of hobbies, yet most of us can probably relate to … More Need a hobby?

I know for certain I’ve covered this topic in at least one post so far, but given the vastness of song lyrics, and additionally, all songs in existence, I think the conversation pertaining to truly stunning lyrics that double as poetry deserves more than one post. I’m a sucker for anything well-written, and lyrics are … More Finding poetry in song
I like to consider myself a rather transparent person. I’ve always been honest and I’ve certainly been informed I’m blunt (mainly by Blaine), but I figure it’s always best to tell the truth, and I don’t plan on changing anytime soon. My transparency does not exclude music, so if I happen to come across an … More If you haven’t heard of Zach Bryan, read this
Everyone should have the pleasure of experiencing the absolute magic that occurs when a song lyric blesses your ears that you haven’t heard before. I’m not referring to any old song lyric, or basic ones for that matter; rather, I’m referring to lyrics that are the purest form of poetic beauty, encapsulating your soul and … More The power of lyrics
I’m a bit of a recluse when it comes to modern-day music. Part of the reason I’m not terribly savvy with up-and-coming artists and new music is because the radio in my truck gets two stations – one is static and the other is in Spanish. So, whenever I’m driving, I listen to music via … More Are you familiar with Bailey Zimmerman?
Allow me to begin this post by stating if you’re debating whether or not to spend the money and invest in a pair of Airpods for yourself, don’t. I’m saying this because I, like many others, fell victim to Airpods when they first came out and purchased them hurriedly because they were the wireless headphones … More Looking for some wireless headphones?

This past weekend, Blaine and I attended an AC/DC tribute concert at the Sanderson Centre in Brantford, Ontario. The band in question calls themselves Hells Bells, and they’re actually the longest-running AC/DC tribute band in the world, according to their website. The band came together in Toronto in 1994. If you’re a fan of AC/DC, … More Hells Bells – the ultimate AC/DC tribute band
I wouldn’t say I’ve kept my love for the band Queen and Freddie Mercury a secret. I’ve been a tremendous fan of this group since I was in the seventh grade, and while Freddie is sadly no longer with us, his legacy and Queen’s music continue to be celebrated and loved by many. Adam Lambert, … More What the heck, Queen and Adam Lambert
This past Thursday, my mom, dad, grandmother, Blaine and myself ventured out to the Sanderson Centre in Brantford to see The Irish Rovers play. My grandmother (whom in Hungarian I refer to as Nagymama, Nagy for short) loves Irish music, and despite her and my Nagypapa’s strong Hungarian roots, the two of them saw The … More Are you familiar with The Irish Rovers?
I said in yesterday’s post that today’s would again cover some very incidental facts affiliated with the musical genre known as rock and roll, and here we are. I try to keep my posts around 300 words or less so as not to lose anyone’s attention, therefore I won’t be including each and every fact … More … and some more absolutely random rock and roll facts
I’ve mentioned once or twice here on my blog that it can be a tad difficult at times to try and brainstorm ideas for a post without being redundant or writing on a topic I have already. Considering I post to my blog daily, it makes sense; while I like to think I’m slightly creatively … More Check out some purely arbitrary rock and roll music facts
Anyone who is a fan of Freddie or Queen will probably read the title of this post, think to themselves, yes, let’s, and then carry on with their day. I say this because Freddie Mercury is arguably one of the few people to have lived that can simply have their name read aloud and garner … More Let’s hear it for Freddie Mercury
As of late, I have been seeing more and more material circulating on social media regarding a semi-recent influx in mockery of the Catholic religion. I say semi-recent because there have always been parodies of Catholicism, but it has escalated within the past few years or so, I would say. In case you didn’t hear … More Double standards in religion
The musical genre known as rap is one that really gets me going, but I should probably stipulate I have a handful of artists I listen to, and none of them are new to the game. Eminem, N.W.A., The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop and 50 Cent are my favourites, and their work is the best in … More Have you seen ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’?
If you consider yourself a country music fan and haven’t yet heard of Mr. Kip Moore, then boy, do I have a discovery for you. If you ask me, this man is an incredibly underrated musician, and if you’ve been sleeping on him and his sound, allow me to be your alarm clock, blaring loud … More Let’s hear it for Kip Moore
Podcasts aren’t new. They’ve been around for a hot minute, and most of us are fully aware of how great they are. Everyone but me, apparently, but I am pleased to report that I recently have begun to delve into the black hole of available podcasts, and so far, I’m really enjoying their existence. In … More The beauty of podcasts
Kip Moore, for anyone who may be unfamiliar with the name, is an American country singer and songwriter. If you haven’t heard of him, don’t stress too much; from my own observations, I would wager that, sadly, a lot of folks don’t know about Kip, and the reason I use the term sadly is that … More Let’s hear it for Kip Moore
When I sat down to write this post, I couldn’t help but note that the song Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers was playing via the radio in the other room. I’d reckon the majority of folks are familiar with this tune as it is a classic love song, but to me, it has a … More What are your favourite songs?
I wouldn’t exactly consider myself a football fan. I don’t mind the sport, and I’ll occasionally watch games with my dad as he played for the University of Guelph and is a fan of the game. I don’t really understand all of the ins and outs of the game, however, which is why I can’t … More Did you watch the Superbowl halftime show?
I was rather entertained while writing yesterday’s blog post regarding some rather quirky and interesting facts pertaining to the musical genre commonly known as rock and roll. I learned some thing I certainly was not aware of, and because the facts from the source I’m using are so intriguing, I had to do a continuation … More How well do you know your rock and roll part two
Classic rock is my preferred music genre of choice and has been for quite some time now. In my own humble opinion, classic rock embodies everything great music should encompass, hence why a lot of the classics from this era will prevail within music for, I hope, many generations to come. We cannot let this … More How well do you know your rock and roll?
Music really is an incredible thing. It has the power to unite us, or divide us, depending on someone’s music preferences, and it serves as the perfect muse for most of us going about our days. I thought it might be fun to share with all of you some of my favourite songs of all … More What are some of your favourite songs?
I am, without a doubt, an absolute sucker when it comes to getting songs stuck in my head. Moreover, it isn’t usually as though I mentally go over the entirety of a song’s lyrics in my head; rather, it’s the same one or two lines, over and over, until I have the urge to rip … More Can’t get a song out of your head? It could be a good thing
