Being Ready to Believe
I just discovered the brilliant voice of Michael Kiwanuka a few weeks back, and ever since I did, his songs have seen regular rotation on the Goodspeed family playlist. I'm in no way a musical person, in that I can neither play an instrument nor carry a tune, but I've always been a great appreciator of those who can. Kiwanuka's singing reminds me of one of my absolute favourites, the incomparable Otis Redding, so naturally I've fast become a fan. I don't know, there's this ease in his voice that to me, somehow, seems... reassuring.
The Blog Turns Two!
So I've been at this blogging business for a couple of years now, and while I can't be sure what sensation the experience has left in your mouths, at least personally, I think I've acquired a taste for it.

A Love Song for Love Songs - The Podumentary
What's this you ask? A documentary?
Why does music rock so hard? What about it makes it endlessly interesting, utterly soul nourishing, and so thoroughly distracting from the work I'm supposed to be doing?

The Bait and Switch Project
What exactly is a bait and switch? It's a scam where a customer is lured in to a store by a product or price that's almost too good to be true. When he then arrives to pick up the miracle do-dad, he discovers that it's no longer available — although some other similar product is at a higher price. You've probably all encountered it in the retail world, even if you didn't realize that you were being had. It's not technically illegal in it's most innocuous forms, but it does serve to get people onto the sales floor long enough to make a pitch. Even if the customer ends up falling for the scam and settling for the alternative product, nothing can erase the memory of that once-promised great deal.
