Smoke + Mirrors by Imagine Dragons

             For the longest time I didn’t realize Imagine Dragons had released a new album.   I kept hearing new songs from them in different places, but I thought they’d simply rereleased the same album with some additional songs attached.   This is something I know other musical artists have done, so I didn’t bother to look into the music I was hearing.   It wasn’t until a figure skater used one of Imagine Dragons’ songs in her program that I decided to see what I may be missing.   As I a result, I found out I was missing an entire album.   All that music I had been hearing was not a rerelease.   It was part of an entirely new piece of work, and I had to check it out.                       Right from the start of Smoke + Mirrors I could tell that Imagine Dragons had stayed true to who the...

The People’s Couch

             I must say I am surprised I am writing about The People’s Couch .   For the longest time I was embarrassed to admit I watched it at all.   I would catch pieces of it on the sly because I did not want anyone asking me why I was watching something so strange.   It’s not the usual type of thing I watch, as I tend to stay away from most reality-type shows, but there was something about this one I liked.   There was not anything in particular I could put my finger on as to why I did, but now I have figured it out.   The show is hilarious!   I find myself laughing through practically every moment of each and every episode.   It’s hard not to, because the people on it are so funny.   Now that I have this figured out, I will fully admit that not only do I watch this show, but I enjoy it as well.              ...

True by Avicii

            Recently I have been hearing the song “Hey Brother” on TV.   It has been with two different ads (which two I don’t remember), and I have been ecstatic to hear it every time.   This is because “Hey Brother” is my favorite song off of Avicii’s True album.   For the longest time I have wondered why I never heard this song anywhere because it is such a great song.   It’s a shame that most people probably haven’t heard it.   Maybe now that it is being used in ads, they will find the song and listen to it in its entirety.   I know that was exactly what I wanted to do, especially since it got stuck in my head.   Once that happened, I knew I had to stop and listen to the entire True album.                 It is my understanding that Avicii is not a singer.   He seems to be involved in every other aspect of m...
