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. As I try to teach my son about the value of musicianship I find it increasingly … Continue reading Raised on the Radio – Journey

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

Crap. How did I get to be 30 already? It seems like only last Tuesday it was 1999 and I was 29. Well...now that I'm all growed up, I guess I've got to listen to grown-up music. Ahhh...easy listening. Or, wait!!! Frank Sinatra, yup, Frank, Deano those dudes, they were the sh*t. Now what to … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 18
100 Word Song – Mirrors
CiCi woke up to the sun shining gently across the sheets. Breathing deeply, she felt peaceful; as she lay there the memory of the day before came back more gently than she had expected. She was comforted by the realization that as she assimilated this new information, she filled a void she hadn't even known … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Mirrors

Welcome to Twisted MixTape Tuesday, this week we disembark from the 90's. This decade has been the most versatile and controversial yet. For me the 90's were an extremely transitional period. I transferred college 6 times, lived in 4 states, graduated in 6.5 years. Took one year off to follow The Grateful Dead. Managed … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 17
Old School Blogging
So my friend Dana over at Kiss My List tagged me in the Old School Blogging Lists of Five. I am happily playing along, because it's fun, and I don't want to think of something serious and poignant to write. Funnily enough, I couldn't think of 5 things I'd like to do before I … Continue reading Old School Blogging
Twisted MixTape Tuesday 16
It's been a crazy ride so far this summer and I'm loving it. The process of creating mixtapes based on the decade has forced me to look back and think of the music I was listening to "way back when." I can't help but think of what was happening in my life and it's … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 16
