"And it's a chance I'll have to take.

And it's a chance I'll have to break."

-Lyrics from The Smashing Pumpkins' "Luna"

Like many others, I associate music to specific memories and times in my life. There are albums that I can't even listen to anymore because I get blasted with some serious post traumatic stress (Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing). And other albums bring me to an amazing, happy place. "Siamese Dream" is one of those special records that uncannily make me calm and remind me of what it feels like to be swept away by a collection of incredible songs.

Lately I've been feeling some tracks that apparently fall under this so-called "chillwave" genre. But I've also read that the scene surrounding it has already come and gone.

Two of the artists identified with the sound that I've been listening are Toro y Moi, and Washed Out.  However other acts such as Neon Indian and Twin Shadow are also associated with it.

Happy "Masters" Weekend, Sports Fans!  I don't play (or watch) enough golf to consider myself a true fan of the game, but as an avid Sports guy, I do like to keep dabs on most major professional sports ... including the PGA Tour.  Reflecting on some of my most memorable moments watching this event, here's one that sticks out in my mind.

The year is 1997.  The event:  The Masters Championship, arguably the most prestigious tournament in Pro Golf.

The coveted "Green Jacket" is on the line.
