Ah! The Halloween Special. As holidays go, I like Halloween! The ghost, the ghouls, the spooky stories…love it. And who doesn’t like dressing up as different characters? Here’s the playlist from MJ015 Bloodletting – Concrete Blonde Living Dead Girl – Rob Zombie Time Warp – The Rocky Horror Show Lil’...
Last night, I returned to my radio presenter roots in terms of the style of the show. I think I’ll hang out in that space going forward. I’ll keep the chat lively, but in the chatbox, not on the stream. Here’s the playlist from last night I Melt with You...
Something about the way the sun felt warming my face as I sat in the backyard listening to the noise drifting out of the high school made me think about the ’70s. Of course, I was only knee-high to a grasshopper then, but the ’70s are in my soul. It...
Sometimes we hold ourselves back out of fear of who might be watching us and how they’ll judge us based on what they see. We fear the judging eyes. To free yourself from this judgment, and therefore self-consciousness, try playing with these questions to identify the invisible eye that you...
I made this mixtape as a tribute to another fallen guitar hero – Eddie Van Halen.
We watched The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly last night. It’s one of the movies on the IMDB top 100 movies: Thought I’d spend some of my isolation time polishing off the IMDB Top 100 movies. The highlighted ones I’ve seen already. pic.twitter.com/qIHhshAZcM — Clay Lowe (@soulcruzer) April 1,...

Inspiration is wild. And it can come from anywhere, anytime. I literally stumbled upon this 1 min 20-sec video of the one and only Bootsy Collins explaining the power of The One and it lit my whole morning up. I’m sure I’ll be buzzing the rest of the day just...
Monday’s Musical Journey Show in case you missed it. “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but...
Spotify.me can show you who you are through your music. Interesting. For instance, 75% of my music is energetic and is 68% of that is Rock music. And this is the playlist it suggested for me based of my musical listening habits:
My friend Sarah and I met for a coffee. We were both trying to figure out where the heck to go to next with the podcast we’ve been working on for nearly 2 years. It’s a habit now, one that we want to grow. I can think of worse habits...
After about an 18 month hiatus, The Musical Journey Show is back. I’ll be kicking off the reboot with a trip back to 1982 when all us MTV babies were discovering bands like Dexys Midnight Runners, Culture Club, Men at Work, Soft Cell, Duran Duran and others. Yet still rocking...

Spotify has curated a playlist of my most played songs in 2016. There are a few tracks on here that I don’t remember playing, but then again, it’s been a long year. I don’t seem to be much into new music with exception of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’s The...
