New band here called Envy of None (EON) which includes Alex Lifeson, guitarist extraordinaire of Rush. Surprisingly, EON doesn't sound like Rush! So far I like what I've heard.

Not bad, but I think they should push the rock a bit more. I kept expecting it to kick in at some point and go hard, even if only for a bit, but it never did.

Ben's new song just dropped this morning, it's awesome. Reminds me a lot of his other song, Old Friends.
I miss when I had superpowers
My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free
I could waste a couple hours
Without a worry in the world staring at stars out on my trampoline.

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes.
Heroes

I was listening to a Pandora station I made ages ago and a few Bowling for Soup songs came on. Apparently this lovely Texas band is still making music. Here are two that got me laughing out loud.

I'm not into wrestling but the 80's references in Alexa Bliss were on point!


The Muppet Show is still on my favorites so this video definitely caught my attention.

Listened to this tune performed by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole probably 20 times while in Hawaii and figured I'd share it cuz I'm in still in the Hawaiian frame of mind...

Yeah, that's a popular one for sure.

Not sure why, but this song has been stuck in my head for weeks.

Haven't heard that tune in YEARS. What a melancholy message!
