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 […]

This week’s activities have been a bit of a departure from the norm for me. That’s often a mixed bag: I am, after all, a creature of habit, and disruptions of routine don’t always go well. At the same time, I enjoy novelty. This variation, so far, isn’t falling toward the positive side. So far, […]

Since I started working the schedule I do, the appearance of the random ten is honestly just as random as the order of the songs that might appear. Oh well, I got one in this week. Enjoy, while I take a pre-road trip road trip: “”She Said, She Said – The Beatles “”Mockin’bird Hill – […]

Yes. It’s hot, people. Drink some water. stay inside. don’t waste electricity. I get it. We all get it. I really don’t mind a general reminder in the name of public service, really, but I’d rather with the media wouldn’t rant and rave and make the young and/or gullible amongst us think the world is […]

Because that’s what I did the other night, rode into the sunset, and frankly, the glare got in my eyes, and I almost ran over a couple of joggers. Some tunes, now, from Pandora, because I didn’t have anything else handy. Good mix, anyway: “The Mesopotamians” – TMBG “Retreat from the Sun” – That Dog […]

Lots of rumors this week regarding my getting shuffled around to fix somebody else’s problem…again. I’d use the pawn/chess metaphor, but the people making the decisions aren’t that strategic. At best, I’m a Sorry! token or one of the little kid pegs from The Game of Life. I’m going to the water park now and […]

Had a doctor’s appointment today, and my blood pressure kicks ass. What a difference a year makes; comparing my numbers from last year to those from this morning, it’s a wonder I wasn’t half-dead…though i actually probably was. Lifestyle changes do make a difference at heading off a crappy hand at the genetic poker table. […]

As soon as the kids get home from school, we’ll be heading on up to Balticon for some weekend geeking out. Hope traffic doesn’t suck. “September Song” – Django Reinhardt “Wart Hog” – The Ramones “Chewbacca (What A Wookiee)” – Supernova “What I am” – Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians “Perfect Smile” – The […]
