Another week gone, spent, primarily, pushing five requirements packages over the line to get briefed and funded at work, clearing the decks so I can maybe have some time to work on all the evil overlord/”remake the agency” projects the bosses and I are hatching to hopefully improve things around here.

That’s where my head’s been, primarily, and with all the continued sinus crap happening in there, there’s not room for much else. Some time hiking the local trails after work, some correspondence with event organizers about upcoming gigs, and working my way through a compelling but slow-reading novel in the evenings.

The coming weekend looks relatively uneventful, apart from another memorial service for a friend who passed. The world’s losing way too many good people this year, and I wish it would just stop doing that. Likewise, the weather look awful, so I expect the bike will stay stowed. Maybe I’ll break out the recording gear and process some musical ideas, or maybe I’ll just log some quality time on the couch playing video games?

Objectively, I’ve been plenty productive this week already, so I’m not feeling a whole lot of pressure to run up the scores for once. I’m just going to go where the wind takes me, I think.

As for tunes this week, lots of cool, forty year old deep cuts and recent indie tracks that ape the sound; nicely fuzzed-up guitars and analog production what’s honestly hitting a spot I didn’t know needed hitting. Also, closing things out is my favorite cover song from one of those bands I’ve stuck with for decades and always appreciate:

3. “Living In Hell” – Cobra Man
4. “Feed The Tree” – Belly
5. “Whole Wide World” – Wreckless Eric
6. “I’m Glad We Broke Up” – Du Blonde
7. “Cat House” – Danielle Dax
8. “Guided By Angels” – Amyl and The Sniffers
9. “Flying Saucer Safari” – Suburban Lawns
10. “Rock Star” – Hole
11. “Stayin’ Alive” – Tropical F*ck Storm
12. “Whata A Way To Die” – The Pleasure Seekers
13. “Third Uncle” – Bauhaus
14. “3 Strange Days” – School of Fish
15. “Hazy Shade of Winter” – The Bangles
