There is a video on YouTube of some dude who is obviously obsessed with Christmas lights and timed the lights on his over-decorated house to ‘dance’ to “Wizard in Winter”.

The group consists of Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova.

T.I. - Entire Paper Trail album. Best song = “Whatever You Like” Second best song = “Live Your Life”.

Tabitha Fair - Complete Celtic Psalms album. Simply smashing!

Tears For Fears - “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” from Now That's What I Call The 80s.

Techno - I don’t really know the artist(s) for these tracks, so I just gave them a generic label. “Atomic Rave”, “Best Rave Song”, “Titanic (Rave Remix)”, Heavy Bass”, and "Superman (Rave Remix)”.

“S” Part 4 of 4

Stereofuse - “I’m In Love” from All That Remains and “Everything” from their self-titled album.

Steve Holy - “Good Morning Beautiful” from Blue Moon. Sappy country ballad.

Steve Martin - “King Tut” from A Wild and Crazy Guy. Yes, Steve Martin the well-known actor sings as well. I was surprised just like you are. The song comes off of a homemade sampler from my boss when I worked up in the mountains as a day camp counselor.

Stone Temple Pilots - “Interstate Love Song” from their Purple album. I’m not sure how they came up with the title for the song, but the lyrics have nothing to do with the interstate.

The Streets - “Let’s Push Things Forward” from Original Pirate Material. British rap. Better than I thought it would be.

Strikethurman - Complete A Winter Sky. I was introduced to these guys at a Battle of the Bands at my college back in 2003. The same one where Autumn’s Favor performed (see the “A’s”). Strikethurman rocked, so I bought the CD. I have not heard anything else of theirs; if there is anything else. The first track, “If the World Burns” is awesome.

String Cheese Incident - Complete One Step Closer and ‘Round the Wheel albums. String Cheese Incident is a jam band from Crested Butte and Telluride, Colorado formed in 1993. In 2007, the band began to disband. All members went on to pursue solo careers and still performed.

The second Rothbury was held July 2-5. The band played an unannounced, invitation-only, "soundcheck" show at the Ogden Theater in Denver on June 24.

Stryper - Entire 7: The Best of Stryper. Old, old-school Christian hair band rock.

Styx - Complete Big Bang Theory and Greatest Hits albums. Best known for “Mr. Roboto”, but that song pales in comparison to such hits as “Too Much Time on My Hands”, “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)” and “Blue Collar Man”. “Come Sail Away” is another goodie.

The Subdues - Complete Street Symphony album. Blues/rock.

Sublime - “What I Got (Lovin')”, “Santaria”, “Wrong Way” and “Doin Time” from their self-titled album and the entire 40 Oz. to Freedom album. I won 40 Oz. to Freedom at some raffle somewhere in Colorado. I have no memory of when or where, and no I was not drinking at the time.

Sum 41 - “Fat Lip” from All Killer No Filler.

Summer Hartbauer - “Sweet Addiction” from Live At the Loft. I actually saw Summer for the first time at the Soiled Dove in downtown Denver. She was amazing. I would like more of her stuff in the future.

Sup the Chemist - “Photographs [Rough Mix]” from Cheapskates: Softer Side.

Superchick - Complete albums: Beauty From Pain, Last One Picked, Regeneration, and Rock What You Got. Superchick is exactly what their name says, super chicks.

Supertramp - “Breakfast in America” from the album of the same name and “Give a Little Bit” from Even in the Quietest Moments.

Survivor - “Eye of the Tiger” from Now That's What I Call The 80s.

Suzanne Vega - “Frank & Ava” from Beauty & Crime and “Tom’s Diner” from Solitude Standing. An article in the now defunct magazine Business 2.0 revealed that "Tom's Diner" was also used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the audio compression scheme known as MP3 at what is now the Fraunhofer Society. He recalled: “I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm...somewhere down the corridor, a radio was playing ‘Tom's Diner‘. I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice.” Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice. While it is an exaggeration to say that the MP3 compression format is specifically tuned to play the song "Tom's Diner" (an assortment of critically analyzed material was involved in the design of the codec over many years), among some audio engineers this anecdote has earned Vega the informal title "The Mother of the MP3".

Swen & Dean - Complete albums: as is. and Songs For the Good. Swen and Dean Swenson hail from Iowa and worked at Okoboji Lurthern Bible Camp when I met them at that very camp. I was on a Campus Crusade retreat up there and they did a concert for us. They both attended Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa. Most of the songs on these two albums are covers, with a few original tracks written by the brothers’ good friend Rich Colligan.

The Swimmers - Entire Fighting Trees album. Punk rock slowed down with a slight British rock mixed in.

Swing City Big Band - Complete Tuxedo Junction: Big Band Swing Classics. Completely instrumental. “In the Mood” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” are two of my favorites.

Switchfoot - Complete albums: The Beautiful Letdown, Learning to Breathe, The Legend of Chin, New Way to Be Human, Nothing is Sound, and Oh! Gravity. Jon Foreman and his brother Tim are amazing song writers and performers. Top 20.

System of a Down - Entire Hypnotize and Steal This Album! albums. “Spiders”, “Sugar”, and “Suite Pee” from their self-titled album and a handful of tracks from Toxicity. “ATWA” and “Chop Suey” are two favs. Steal This Album! is a great album overall, Hypnotize is so-so.

While the band’s eclectic fusion of Delta blues, gypsy jazz, 1930’s-era swing, klezmer, and other styles make it hard to categorize, the band found their niche in the late 1990’s Swing Revival scene. This is about the time they found commercial success and national recognition.

There are two companies who do these kinds of shows, one is Cirque de Sole and the other one is ARRA-montréal. ARRA-montréal did this show and it was amazing! 'Ulalena is a wind unique to Maui, as said in the Kumulipo, an ancient Hawaiian creation chant, as well as a red-yellow colored rain revealed by the twilight. Like a soft wind in the mist of light.
