Hey, it’s Friday, which means music. Lacking any good randomizers, I figured I’d go non-random this time, and list some songs about wizards, given yesterday’s post. Not all of these are Harry Potter, but it’s my list, I don’t care, because wizards are a great topic to mine for music. I’m sure other people have […]

So, the Blibbering Humdingers got called out in an article on mtv.com today, as #7 of “17 ‘Harry Potter’ Bands That Would Put The Weird Sisters To Shame”. As a sometime/adjunct member of one of the “top 10”, I guess I should be honored (and I am, given the company on the list – luminaries […]

If you happen to keep an eye on my social media feed, you’ll notice that I ran into some last minute trouble with my main bass this weekend. Saturday night I plugged in the five-string Jazz bass and felt more resistance than expected, followed immediately by markedly less resistance; the sure sign of an input […]

Younger. Cooler. Smarter. Edgier. This is how Empire Magazine characterizes the new Fantastic Four film in it’s promo image for an upcoming puff piece. Problem is, none of these words really apply to the FF. Fun, Family, Adventure, or even Hokey are all words that would apply to the cast of the “World’s Greatest Comics […]

I learned this morning that, depending on which CD was passed on, “Weird” Al Yankovic may indeed own a recording of me playing several instruments, as well as a photo of me on stage playing bass with The Blibbering Humdingers. This is both very cool, and very intimidating. Mostly, I hope he likes it, if […]

I don’t have any particularly profound things to share, but the space feels empty, and I have a few minutes. Oh look, it’s June. Life is life, really…moving along, slow and steady, generally not particularly noteworthy. Employment is employment: I’ve been at this particular chapter for five months and change now; it’s mostly paying the […]

So, ConCarolinas was a pretty good experience, on balance. We played some pretty damned good shows, if I do say so myself (and I do), our CD sounds really good, and people really seemed to dig the new stuff. I also got to meet one of my favorite modern authors (and made him laugh with […]

If you’re near Charlotte NC this weekend, I’ll be playing Concarolinas with “Special Musical Guests” The Blibbering Humdingers. We’ve got two big shows Friday and Saturday, plus we’ll probably be goofing off playing music, meeting the public, and selling merch and whatever most the weekend, with our friends Mikey Mason, Valentine Wolfe, and Hawthorn and […]

Something hit the internets yesterday that’s too exciting not to share, so I’m sharing. Remember the post of April 14 wherein I talked about making some neat things? Those neat things are now available for pre-order on bandcamp. Behold, the latest record from The Blibbering Humdingers, Raised By Nerds: The whole business is quite a […]

Yes, it’s been almost a month since I posted anything. I’ve been busy. And overwhelmed. And stressed. And engaging in copious business travel involving the wearing of suits on the subway when it’s 90 degrees outside. Not cool. Life’s getting in the way. Pffft. I totally missed my traditional First of May and Star Wars […]
