Welcome to Maass Media!

My goal for this blog is to share the music I listen to with as many people as possible.  If this is your first time here, all you need to know is that everyday I post good songs from different genres of music.  There is a list of genres on the left - clicking on a genre will lead you to a list of songs (with links to hear them) that I have posted on my blog. 

Any time you see a portion of text in brown that means it's a link.  If you want to leave a comment, click on the comment box at the bottom of the post you want to comment on.  Rock on!

Adam London's Daily Dose of Jam

As winter wraps around Chicago, I find myself reminiscing about warmer days. It's easy to find yourself caught up in drama, school, work, or whatever is going on in your life. We all need to just take a step back and breathe every once in a while. That's why G-d gave us the gift of summer. Bob Greene once said:

Summer represented freedom and friendship and an escape from the grayness of the rest of the year. Summer was not just a season; summer was a reward, even when we hadn't done a thing to earn it. Summer was the time to breathe, to feel like someone else, to discover things about you that could never be discovered in November or February. Summer was the time when you were allowed to figure out who you were.

But here we are today. It's cold. It's snowy. It's dark. There are no jars filled with pebbles; only gutters packed with snow and slush. But fear not! TheMaassMedia is here to brighten your day :)

I wanted to pick a song that really showcases the magic of summer. That's why I picked Flying Horses by Dispatch. It's perfect. It's upbeat, and, more importantly, it tells a story. It's rather mysterious; it has many of the same folk-loreish qualities as Stairway to Heaven. Whenever I hear this song, all I can remember is Adam London on the Noar Deck making 100 or so campers listen quietly as he raved about how passionate the harmonica intro was. Or maybe he was talking about Elias. Either way, I already uploaded this song. Here's to you, Adam London, for being a fantastic counselor and friend. I would never have heard of State Radio if it weren't for you.



Unfortuneately, my flying Horses video was blocked from youtube due to copyright laws. Yuck. But no worries, life is good, because here's Elias by Dispatch.


Enjoy!
