Seriously. I find almost as much, if not more “new” old music of quality than I do new new music of quality these days. Some of it is just cases of “finally” getting around to listening to classic albums – like Derek & the Dominoes/Layla & Other Love Songs, which I’ve been playing as the [...]

Just recently my boys (2 & 3.5) decided that they liked Downbound Train [not embedded because I couldn't find the album version] – the title above is an attempt to transfer into letters the sounds that are produced by my oldest when he names the song. Yes, it IS adorable. Maybe they just like it [...]

I found these guys via a helpful suggestion from a TNC commenter. I wish I could remember who it was, and give them props, but I can’t – so whoever you are, know that you are awesome. I love finding stuff from bands with multiple awesome albums. It’s like Christmas jammed into Christmas with free [...]

According to librarything, I (only?) read 38 books last year. Somehow that number seems simultaneously very small and very large. I did blog reviews for many of them, so here’s the rundown (sans TheRock), because you know I love lists. Links go to my reviews: Side Jobs: Stories From the Dresden Files Jim Butcher December [...]

Dear Leader : All I Ever Wanted was Tonight (2004). I tracked this down because Dear Leader is the band Adam Perrino (singer/songwriter of the late, awesomely great The Sheila Divine (seriously, check them out)) moved on to after The Sheila Divine broke up. This is their second album, I think. I picked the first [...]

I would be a horribly remiss child of the 80s if I didn’t turn around and post this the second I saw it: I like how the enemy goes from catapults directly to giant robot warmech things. Now that, my friends, is how to win an arms race. I haven’t listened to the audio yet, [...]

I’ve been a fan of Social Distortion for quite a while now, and seen them live a few times but, beyond acknowledging it as one of their weaker songs (and they have many), never gave it much thought. Until I listened to this in the car home the other day, probably for the first time [...]

What’s the best way to be productive? PEER PRESSURE! OK, maybe not, but it helps. I’ve invited bloggers from the horde to join in my little made up event. It’s going to be weird not going it solo for the 3rd time. Weird = good. Of course, anyone else who wants “in” (whatever that is) [...]

I figured I’d start off Unofficial Month of Blogging (UMOB! U-mob? Bom-u?) by dredging up and finishing my oldest post draft (from Jan ’10) and finding a way to post links to lots of old posts. I think I was probably going for something humorous, but I think I lost that track, so I’ll [...]
