Life is something, right? When I conceived of my latest mix for my LYL Radio show, I wanted to capture a certain spirit: that of gently percolating music that bubbles at the edges but never quite reaches a boiling point. My thought was, “On certain trying days, we all need music that consoles us, that…

Sometimes, you just have to go where the breeze takes you. That’s something that’s become clear to me lately. This summer, I decided to scale back the time I’ve devoted to the blog and simply go outside and enjoy life (with music). So, when it was time for my LYL Radio show, I thought: why…

Let’s do something different today. Let’s let the music speak for itself. I say this because I’m still inspired and surprised by who tunes in to what this blog has to say.

Looking back, it feels like my relationship with Endy goes back more than recently. Trolling through my Discogs orders I see that my oldest purchase from the man behind Groove Bunny Records was in 2017 – a copy of Mich Live’s Message From Heart which y’all finally got a chance to listen to in 2019.…

Isn’t it always those late night thoughts that can push you to do something meaningful during your daylight hours? I say this because lately I’ve been ruminating on something: if ever this blog runs this course, I’d hate myself if I never took the time to document in some way those that had some way…
