Things have been really loud today, so I’ve been hiding inside the friendly bubble of insulating sound that my headphones provide. Why not track some of the stuff coming out of them? “Ribbon of Honor” – Innocent Nixon “Cool Rider” – Michelle Pfeiffer “Shut the Club Down” – Girl Talk “Stupid Thing” – Aimee Mann […]

Why? Because I felt like it. I figure I owe the wonky shuffle feature one last hurrah before I wipe and reload my Sansa with some of those CDs I just got around to ripping. Yeah, you can keep your ipod. My mp3 player has an FM tuner, plays well with linux, and is named […]

Just trying to wake up about now. Maybe this music will help. “Texas Lady” – Les Paul & Mary Ford “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (live) – The Hooters “A Million Miles Away” – The Plimsouls “European Swallow” – The Refreshments “The Human Hosepipe” – Harry and the Potters “Three Little Pigs” – Green […]

Because I’m here, and on the computer anyway, I’m doing a random ten, because it’s been four months. I guess I should call it the “quarterly random ten”. Not a bad mix; a couple of nostalgic old favorites, and one new favorite (which is a cover of an old favorite). See if you can guess […]

Some music: “Since I Don’t Have You” – Brian Setzer Orchestra “Low” – REM “Building a Mystery” – Sarah McLachlan “Ben Lee” (not “Ken Lee“)- The Ataris “Compromise” – The Indigo Girls “Little Song” – Sarah Jarosz “Buddy Holly” – Barenaked Ladies (yes, Barenaked Ladies covering Weezer) “Leave It All To Me” – Miranda Cosgrove […]

It’s turning into one of those lazy sort of Fridays, where I’m getting a few things done, but really don’t have much ambition about it. The rest of the weekend, other than running a few kids a few places, is looking pretty much the same. I can live with that. Incidentally, I woke up with […]

Couple of odd 80s novelties you don’t hear too often in this week’s batch. Kind of a pleasant surprise, all told. Really, though, I’m just glad to be done for the week, and hope that the weather holds out for this weekend’s camping trip. “Not The Doctor” – Alanis Morissette “King of Hearts” – Robert […]

A great time was had by all at the TMBG w/ Jonathan Coulton show; nice to see so many friends there. Plus, you know, it rocked. Coulton w/ the band is really very good, and TMBG are as awesome as always (and not just because Flansburg hits me up on twitter now and then). Now, […]

So, I was a schoolbus this morning, because one of my children couldn’t get her stuff together on time. We can’t make a habit of this. Anyway, here’s some tunes for a rainy schoolbus morning: Honestly – Zwan Stories Last Call – Patty Griffin Kiss – Prince Batbox – Miss Kittin Damn You Look Good […]

All the of the fall pollen and mold are all coming over to my sinus cavities to visit this week; They’re not exactly the callers I’d prefer. Maybe a few tunes off the hard drive will improve the mood. Maybe: 100,000 Years – KISS Down By The River (live) – Phish Hell Hole – Spinal […]
