…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).

#132 Van Morrison – Astral Weeks

I have a fear of disappointing people and this review might disappoint someone I know. It is for the album Astral Weeks the second release of Van Morrison. I was anticipating that I would love this album. I listened to it three or four times. I did not love it, but I did not hate it. […]

#131 The Zombies – Odessey and Oracle

Odessey and Oracle is the second album from The Zombies an English band that broke up after recording it. It seems to be a trend of the 60s. It is ridiculous how most of these groups did not make it out of the 60s. I wonder if it will be similar for the 70s. I […]

#130 Scott Walker – Scott 2

Scott Walker deserves the medal for the least creative album title Scott 2. I believe titles are everything. If you want me to read something the title has to interest me first. That is one reason I changed the titles for this music series. Another important thing for me is the album cover art and Walker’s […]

#129 Caetano Veloso

Caetano Veloso released his second album self-titled in 1968. I am fairly certain I will hate this album because it is Brazilian tropicália music. Veloso has stated that he did not like it either so we have something in common. I started and stopped this album a few times. It is so boring, especially the […]

My First Beer Review

I wrote my first beer review for the Longmont Observer. It is fun writing reviews, especially if the product is super delicious. Left Hand Beer Review

#128 Jeff Beck – Truth

Jeff Beck? How did he make it on the list I wondered. He is known for his guitar work. I hope this is not a guitar album. I do not want to listen to someone just playing the guitar for one hour. That is my truth, but I hope Beck’s first solo album Truth is similar. […]

#127 The Band – Music from Big Pink

Music from Big Pink is from The Band. Who is The Band? They were Bob Dylan’s touring band in 1965 and for his world tour in 1966. Dylan supported them as a band and even collaborated with them during their time together. The album cover is part of Bob Dylan’s contribution to The Band. He […]

Robotic Boy In St. Vrain

It’s a little bit funny this story I have written is about robotics. I have been writing for the Longmont Observer, but only ribbon cuttings thus far. I finally wrote a real news story. It was difficult, but the editor encouraged me. She is really kind and supportive. I like working with her. The funny […]

#126 Small Faces – Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake

Firstly, what band does not have their faces on the album cover? Small Faces. Secondly, what kind of band does not have their names on the album cover? Small Faces. Thirdly, what kind of band has an album titled Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake which is a parody of a brand of tobacco? An English rock […]

#125 Simon & Garfunkel – Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel‘s Bookends was released on my birthday 3 April. I think we all like when something special happens on our birthday. My mother’s birthday is 4 April and I happen to know that Martin Luther King was murdered that day. I guess I got the better end of that deal. I cannot believe I am going to say […]
