After
posting that I didn’t like a particular Top 40 single, a now-benched music
industry vet surmised that it was time to give up; that pop music was no
longer being made for my demographic or sensibilities, so I should stop keeping up with all things new. That struck me as sad.
Imagine going through life thinking that every good song had already been
written? I can’t. Granted, they might be harder to come by these days.
Though
I tried, I could only really think of eight records that perked up my ears in
2016, and my favorite should come as no surprise. Call me basic, but without
fail, any new Deftones record will likely be my favorite release of the year.
Live shows
were a weird thing for me in 2016. Usually they are my comfort zone, a pastime
that has as much to do with culture as it does socializing. But because of my dad’s cancer battle, I often found myself
too emotionally spent to attend some concerts I’d really been looking forward to.
But
then, I couldn’t think of skipping Nails’ blistering set at Marlin Room on
the day my dad died. Catharsis, I guess? I also randomly met actor Chris Bauer (True Blood's Andy Bellefleur) that night. Guess my life will never be boring.

Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.
