I need to ask your forgiveness. Forgive me for not giving this week's MixTape everything I could. Well, truthfully I couldn't. After spending 10 hours travelling and participating in the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival, enduring 95 degree heat (with sheep), getting completely flea-bitten there and coming home to a karaoke party that lasted way … Continue reading Twisted MixTape – The Mulligan or Sheep Festivals, Migraines and Flea Bites

Twisted MixTape 24
Last night was an impromptu Karaoke night. Not at some bar, not even at some young-in's party. It was my mom's best friend's 75th birthday party (you know, the friend that you call Aunt because you've known her since you were 2) . Here's some things you may or may not know about me … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 24
100 Word Song – Graceless
The bells on the door tinkled; Beaufort looked up from placing flowers in the vases on the counter. "Well dear, what took you so long?" Relief flooded through CiCi as she realized that in what would prove to be the hardest thing she had ever done in her life, she would at least have one … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Graceless
Music to Tame The Savage Beast
Last night the little man was in prime form. It's funny when you can connect behavior to things you have read - it a reminds me of how normal life really is. Tonight, he was Max from Where the Wild Things Are; just when Max yelled at his mom "I'll eat you up!". That was … Continue reading Music to Tame The Savage Beast

Whose idea was it to make a greatest hits mixtape anyway? Come on, fess up.... Ok fine, it was me. The thing is I am so freaking predictable when it comes to the music I like. Especially when it comes to finding some band that not everyone has heard to make a greatest hits. … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 23
Raised on the Radio – Gasp
Raised on the Radio is a new series at My Skewed View. As a music lover I have noticed a great difference between those Raised on The Radio, and those who are being raised on streaming music and audio-downloads. As I try to teach my son about the value of musicianship, I find it increasingly difficult … Continue reading Raised on the Radio – Gasp
100 Word Song – Once
Indian summer in the south is something to be feared, she flew out of the hotel and the heat slammed into her. Instantly regretting her decision to bring a jacket, she mentally fumbled knowing she needed no extra baggage. Shake it off. Her feet hit the sweltering pavement with a determination that worked its way … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Once
Raised on the Radio – Journey
Raised on the Radio is a new series at My Skewed View. As a music lover I have noticed a great difference between those of us Raised on The Radio, and those who are being raised on streaming music and audio-downloads.

OK. So I'm not saying you would do this, or even THINK about it. I'm not saying I ever have or would think about it. We're all friends here, and mostly in committed relationships. So this is Purely Hypothetical. (John Cusack this does not apply to you) Our twisted mixtape topic for today is: No Strings Attached You know … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 21
A Word I Can’t Say Because I’m A Prude and I Love Steely Dan
Last week I met some amazing chicas. Collectively, they were the soul to mate, like the shot to my glass, like the Steely to my Dan. I couldn't imagine then that these lovely ladies would become so important to me that I would let them interrupt my Steely Dan extravaganza (yes I'm posting from my … Continue reading A Word I Can’t Say Because I’m A Prude and I Love Steely Dan
