The music that reflects the freedom of the open road, and the feeling of a hog between your legs. Standard Daniel here, and I have a confession to make. I’ve never seen the classic film Easy Rider, staring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicolson. It premiered on July 14, 1969, almost 52 years ago […]

The music that reflects the beautiful juxtaposition that is America Standard Daniel here, back at it after a little break. This list came out on the 4th, but my post is a little late. This week we have a playlist of what our teamed deemed to be some of our favorite songs about America. I […]

The music I heard shaped me and how I remember the moments of life. I’ve taken over Tunes from the Team this week for a selfish reason — it’s my birthday this week. Yep! I pulled the boss card. At first I thought I would create a playlist of my favorite songs. But as I […]

Whether they’re in our favorite books, television shows, movies, or in our everyday life, we look to our Heroes to show us the best side of ourselves. Standard Daniel here, and although I am serious about my job as a web developer, I’m also very serious about television and movies. If you get to meet […]

This week we’re kicking off Pride month. Standard Daniel here, and over the past couple of months, we’ve had a lot of different themes for tunes-from-the-team playlists. Some were lighthearted, and some were focused on genre. This week’s playlist is celebrating Pride month with some amazing songs from artists from the LGBQT community and songs […]

This week we’re prepping for Summer with some songs hotter than the sidewalk in Austin. Standard Daniel here, and over the past couple of weeks that I’ve been compiling these tunes-from-team, I’ve often fought over the self-imposed restrictions on what songs make the list and what songs fall short. This week, with a topic as […]

This week we’re collecting songs that quite possibly reflect our moods towards Uncle Sam on this tax week. Christopher Bulluck spoke a profound truth in 1716 when he wrote, “’Tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes”. Ben Franklin spoke a similar sentiment in 1789, but he can go fly a kite. That’s […]

This week we’re hoping the storms have passed so that we can stop and smell the flowers. Standard Daniel here, and I actually love working when it’s raining outside. Something about the rain is very comforting to me. I may be alone in that view, and if so, that’s fine. A wise man once said, […]

This week we are strong with the force, and we’re celebrating one of the most storied franchises ever; Star Wars. Standard Daniel here, and it may be a stretch of the imagination, but we at Standard Beagle are fans of light saber battles, the sounds of blasters, and everything Star Wars related (well, most everything). […]

This week we’re celebrating the original bad boys of the music world, just in time for national jazz day on April 30. Standard Daniel here, and there is something about either Standard Beagle or development in general that attracts musicians; two of the three developers here (that’s a whopping 66%!) have music degrees. And it […]

This week we’re paying our respects to the greatest Bennie of all time. Standard Daniel here, and there was only one standard beagle to ever exist; her name was Bennie. And where there were many Ben’s that came before her, and many to come after, this Bennie was the hands down the greatest. Musically speaking, […]

This week we’re warming up and getting ready to support and cheer for Austin’s first major league franchise, Austin F.C. Standard Daniel here, and I am more than just a music nerd; I enjoy many facets of culture, and one that is very near to my heart is sports. All sports. I enjoy basketball, football, […]
