BostonWriter Online: Tech. Work. Life.

Cherry Marmalade
Kay Hanley: Cherry Marmalade
Amazing album. Amazing artist. Incredibly under-rated music. If you don't have it, buy it... you will not be disappointed.

Frank Sinatra: The Capitol Years
This album proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that there is a God and that He wants us to be happy. ("And on the seventh day He created Sinatra, and it was good.")

Frank Sinatra with Count Basie & the Orchestra: Sinatra at the Sands
Aint nothing wrong in my life that listening to this album can't fix.

Social Distortion: Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
Man... does this album rock!

All the Stars and Boulevards
Augustana: All the Stars and Boulevards
My niece turned me on to this band and I just dig their sound. Not sure if they're going to make the cut long-term but it's on the iPod today & in heavy rotation. :)

Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
Damn, this is good!

O-Positive: Home Sweet Head
One of the Boston bands you've never heard

Ed Van Fleet: Grand Eagle
I first heard this playing from a CD kiosk in a tourist trap in the Lakes Region of NH. Listening to it always reminds me of carefree summer days. It's also perfect background music for writing, relaxing or napping.

Pearl Jam: Ten
The unofficial soundtrack to my college years.

Brian Setzer: The Dirty Boogie
Sure... it's an older album, but it still makes me smile when it's on.
