Mike Casey | Law Of Attraction

Mike Casey’s sax shines like a fiery torch in the darkness

While the law of attraction lacks scientific evidence for its claims and is generally viewed as a pseudoscience, if there is such a thing as the law of attraction, then one of its traits must be the attraction to good music. At least, that would explain how we were drawn in by Mike Casey’s "Law Of Attraction". Casey's sax shines like a fiery torch in the darkness on every track.

Us and Them

When they came, there was nobody to speak out for me...

Julian Assange: exiled, imprisoned, convicted? After many years they came for him. What makes you think they won't be coming for you. If not for your personal freedom, then at least for your civil liberties. There is historical precedent.

Amy Winehouse | Love is a losing game

Reflections on a Jazz revelation

Amy’s music is personal to the extreme. She lived the life she expressed in her songs. Her inner eye recorded all her feelings and emotions which she put into poetry, and the lyrics of her songs. Jazz was the vehicle, the means, the meme, to carry and translate the subtleties of her thoughts and feelings into music. It could only have been Jazz. No other genre could have encompassed her talent and creativity.
