It’s funny how music can instantly remind you of a time in your life. Maybe we should just listen to a song for 6 months and be forced to put it away for at least 5 years. It seems to gain strength the longer you DON”T hear it.

I have a special place in my heart for Brendan Benson – Cold Hands Warm Heart. I saw (and heard) it first in the winter of 2005.

When I used to work in Hollywood, I would eat lunch at the upstairs balcony of The Universal City Walk overlooking the massive Stratocaster in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. There was a huge jumbo-tron next to the Fender that played this song in regular intervals.

It’s a melancholy song for perfect moment in my life.

The Feeling, Brendon, ane the Mew – excellent. But what’s up with the creepy video on Love it when you call? Yikes.

DMSR – I remember it well. And all those Brethren… good times.

KC, that Oh Happy Day was, well, uh, very weird. Looks like they have lots of time on their hands over there in Japan.

grupa axa

Totally agree

[…] Look for AXA – one of the most interesting BiH rock bands from the late 90’s – early 00’s. The band later changed it’s name to INGRAY, went to USA and released several unique materials for different publishers. It’s founder, established creat…
