A hauntingly beautiful voice is what I discovered the other day in Canadian singer songwriter Marcomé (pronounced Mar-ko-may) . Life’s hectic pace has met its match in the ambient, ethereal world of Marcomé’s music.

1980’s Rewind
Sometimes I get a little nostalgic for the 1980s?  . . .  that era of early video games, MTV, and The Breakfast Club. After catching an episode of Full House on Nick at Nite, I put down my Rubik’s cube, grabbed a can of TAB,  and did a little retro surfing. Join me as I step back in [...]

Midway down the right sidebar lies Dr. Rob’s UCTV vodpod, and it is in need of new tunes.
Join me in filling the “live” or on-air slots with weird, offbeat, strange, but “quality” tunes. You’ll have to decide what “quality” is.
I will keep one of the five empty slots for my [...]

I just digg 80’s rock. While I love lots of musical genres, and I enjoy music from many eras, whenever I stumbleupon 80’s rock, I return to that del.icio.us decade with enthusiasm. We all have music that delivers us to a different time and place. Sometimes I’d rather hear hard rock, heavy metal, or easy listening; other [...]

My boys and I are getting ready to see Hawk Nelson in Rome in a few weeks.
