Through the wonders of wordpress scheduled posting, the post you are reading will indeed post on Friday. I probably won’t be at the keyboard, because we’ll be driving to our camping destination (the campground apparently has wifi, so there will probably be a computer in the car, though). Anyway, here are your tunes: “Opening Band” […]

It doesn’t get much better than that, really. Anyway, here’s today’s tunes: “Bastards of Young” – The Replacements “My Monkey” – Jonathan Coulton “Who Are You” – Scarlett Johannson […]

Happy Independence Day, everybody. Looks like a quiet one around here, though if the rain holds out, we’ll try to catch the fireworks at the fairgrounds this evening. In the meantime, I’m going to just enjoy the fact that the week’s over, and my weekend is an extra day long. And since it’s Friday, here’s […]
