So on the way to do some testing down on the Garden State Parkway this morning I listened to British Bluesman Oli Brown’s new album Here I Am and it’s pretty damn good, but then again it should be since it comes from a band that at the 2011 British Blues Music Awards won the following [...]

So I just finished a run, that you will get to be bored with after I take a shower and have dinner, but for now let’s go into the night with some music. The album that I was listening to through most of my run ended just short of the end of the run, so [...]
