So I’ve decided to not follow the format I had originally written about and simply have one article feature one or more artists and simply make several articles that touch a genre.
The Duke Spirit: Bruiser
The English alternative rockers, The Duke Spirit, have rolled out their third album, Bruiser. A solid collection of songs and melodies that has kept me captivated over the last month with regular listening, especially in the car.

Often when I’m listening to my music around friends, family, and peers I often get comments about how they like my music selection and usually wondering what I’m playing. While some of my music selection is easily recognizable, a lot of it is not.
Garden Succulents in January

Top 10 Music Albums of 2011
It was a mildly decent year for new music, while a few albums stood out for me, it seemed like there were fewer albums that really amazed me. The electronica and hard rock/metal genres were lacking this year with only a few exceptions.
Skyrim Maps
No doubt that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive game of epic proportions and it can be a very daunting task to locate and experience every location the game has to offer. A good map is helpful unless you leave yourself to explore for hours on end, which isn’t a bad thing if you have the time.
