So I Won’t Have to Keep Answering These…

  This weekend went beyond my expectations so we’ll delay the music for a day.  I’d say from Christmas to now I’ve seen 80 to 90 percent of the people I care about, and certain questions keep coming up repeatedly.  So here’s a quick Frequently Asked Questions post for the other 10 percent of you […]

Confession…

  I have a confession… Even in my mind’s eye, when I made to this point where everything I wanted become more tangible and less hypothetical…I didn’t think I would be enjoying myself. That’s the truth behind the joke of ‘the Batman’ and my militant phase.  I have never questioned my various talents or my […]

Song of the Day – Favorite Thangs

  Tomorrow’s post is one of my annual ‘speak from the heart’ posts, so you’ll forgive me if I use today to speak from the heart (and other areas)… One of my cousins turned me onto this cat a couple years ago.  There are a lot of great interpretations of this song (Coltrane and Andre […]

Song of the Day – ‘Clair de Lune’

  I’ve had a goofy smile on my face all day so it felt like the right day to post this one.  Won’t make it to Vegas this exact weekend, but I’ll make my annual trip soon enough. Malik Ocean: (to all my exes I’m still friendly with)  See? I told you.  I knew what […]

Why I Won’t Be Doing Stand Up

  No song today.  I post this about once a year or so.  It’s the epitome of funny AND wrong.  The Brandon Knight slaughter last night reminded me of this, just in terms of someone getting publicly castrated badly.  Enjoy or feel bad.  Or both.

Song of the Day – ‘Watch for the Hook’

  I got an email from one of my long lost college aces last week.  While we tease him for his annual ‘I’m still alive’ messages; it was a nice reminder of college days swiftly passed, and my overall policy about friendship: unless we ended on extremely bad terms (which is honestly, not even 5 […]

Song of the Day – Pop

  I know your boy Justin Timberlake is hosting SNL this week and he’s got a hot record again so he’s in a nice spot to make another step up the ‘legend’ ladder.  Justin is one of those handful of guys my hypercompetitive ass always keeps an eye on.  Not that I could have (or […]

Song of the Day – ‘I Got the Blues’

  Being a film geek means over time I’ve met my fair share of like minded filmmakers.  Being something of a music geek means I know my fair share of musicians.  This is one of them.   Her name is Lucy Malheur and she works in a genre close to my own heart: the Blues. […]

Song of the Day – ‘Maybe I Deserve’

  Back in business with this tune, which I think is close to perfect. Seriously, I’m bobbing my head pretty steady for 3 minutes, then he says, ‘To grab your neck!  Until you let me know….’ Whoa!  Hey!  Hey Champ!  We did good here, how about we stop talking and wrap this one up…
