Back to the music. Keep this between us for now, but I have four light skinned ‘nephews’ who are all close enough in age to be groomed into a boy band in about 10 years. Don’t tell their mothers… (I told you we’d get back to pure silliness didn’t I?)
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Me watching the end of that Lakers game… In other news, here’s your Song of the Day. We’re due for a song you may be surprised I know/like. All about the guitar riff for me here:
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. […]
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…
I was content to sit back and chuckle at the Onion for trying to make a joke (which is what they do for a living), and of the 10,000 possible angles they could have gone with, they chose the worst. What this week taught me more than anything was they don’t have any sistas […]
