Vi Er Live – Sigrid and Aurora (Somewhere Else, 2020)

Last year when I went to see Sigrid in St. Louis, I told my wife afterwards that I wanted to go to more concerts. That plan clearly isn't going to pan out to anything with everything going on. What I have done though is watched quite a few virtual concerts. The Somewhere Else Festival (Et Helt Annet Sted) presented at ViErLive.no is actually the fourth live show I've watched from Sigrid int he past month. The previous being a bit on the Twitch Steam Aid event, a short show on the IGTV from Levis, and one for the opening of…

Helping Myself to Ensure Better Productivity

I find as I get older, I am not so great at remembering everything that I really should be doing regularly. Not just necessary things, but things I want to to. I've been working out some better systems to push myself to keep up with all of these sort of little tasks. Microsoft ToDo Any ToDo list app works here, I use Microsoft ToDo. I used to use Wonderlist, but Microsoft bought them out and it's essentially folding into MS ToDo. I try to keep my lists somewhat streamlined down so it doesn't become a cluttered mess. For example... The…

My Music Listening Habits for March 2020

So, not a particularly exciting month in Music. Despite actual effort on my part, Sigrid still tops the chart by a large margin. Tessa Violet comes in second. I actually watched both of these artists doing online live(ish) shows due to the Corona-virus. Though the Sigrid segment of the Twitch Stream event was pre recorded and not actually live. Tessa Violet has been doing some live shows on Youtube. The soundtracks for Gris and Journey both make a return. They are both pretty similar in feel and are really great for "general distraction free listening". Lindsey Sterling also falls into…

My Music Listening Habits for February 2020

Not a whole ton that's overly exciting this month. I did listen to quite a bit of BT, whom is one of my all time favorite artists, even if my time listening to his stuff comes and goes. I think there was a bit of earlier stuff that I didn't associate as being BT that I liked, but I remember that Never Gonna Come Back Down was the track that really got me into listening to more of BT's music. It was on the soundtrack for Gone in 60 Seconds. In the actual movie, they play this really neat super…

Reading for January 2020

I've had an up and down relationship with being motivated to read. I pushed myself back into reading round 2016 and had a lot of success at 35 books for the year, but then it fizzled out again with like, 1 book in 2018. It doesn't help that I have a huge backlog of books to read. I feel more guilty about my unread books than my unread video games. Possibly part of my problem is the refusal to accept that I'm not enjoying a book and move on. I'm not really over that one quite yet. As part of…
