Rocking out on Wheels

This is a random observation I've had each time I've rented a City Car Share vehicle - I miss rock radio. Yes, I can listen at home but it just isn't the same as when you can blast your favorite tunes and sing along while driving. Actually, perhaps bringing a radio into the shower could substitute. Maybe singing while I ride my bike in the rain. Nah, blaring Peter Gabriel and bringing yourself close to tears while singing Red Rain is so much more real.

New York State of Mind

All day I listened to WFUV radio on the internet at work. It put me into the best mood. There’s something about hearing the 5am weather and traffic that makes you feel connected to the Big Apple. Hearing the names of familiar expressways and bridges put me in a New York state of mind.

WFUV played an all day tribute to The Police who seem to be reuniting. Very exciting. Even better, they played lots of folksy bluesy tunes that took me back to my years in Ithaca. What trip down memory lane is complete without a search on the web for your favourite places? I found the café that I worked at following graduation - ABC Cafe (Apple Blossom Cafe). I even recognise some of the people.
