some years back, soo suggested that as a christmas gifts to each other, we could each compose the equivalent of a mix tape for each other of the "essential music" of our collections. the details of "essential music" were left to us to determine. (for example, i expected a CD of nothing but guided by...
i think i'll turn yesterday's QotD on it's ear and talk about some bands i'm glad that i have seen that can't be seen anymore. i'm glad i saw Lynyrd Skynard on their first tour opening for the Who. i remember a lot about that show, where i was sitting, how the guys in Skynard were drunk and still...
Saturday night, Pam and I went to see Prince at the Orpheum theater here in San Francisco. Seeing Prince in a small-ish theater is one of those fabulous opportunities that only comes once every so often, which should be grasped, as it might not make another appearance for quite a while. Prince is...

POST A SUMMMER-ish TRACK FROM YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY It can have summer in the title or reference it in the song...or it can just be one that always reminds you of hot days, warm nights, cooking out, laying out...whatever.

I'm at my parents' place for the week, and it's been really awesome so far. The most obvious reason is because I'm not in Ohio. Also, because my mom keeps giving me money for stuff. And Cory (my brother) and I went to the White Sox game last night. And today I went to my favorite yarn store ever,...
(This is the abbreviated version I read at Chi Chi's Word Parlor 9/18/07 -- the theme was "Desire.") For days later, she could still smell him on her sheets…and she couldn’t bring herself to wash that red tank. He always made her come to him. And she never knew when he might call next. The last...
Wow... Just, wow. I can't believe it, but the day has come when all nine are gone. All of Walt Disney's Nine Old Men have now gone to join the Old Maestro in the heavens. Ollie Johnston passed away today at the tender young age of 95. Not only was he an amazingly talented artist, he was one heck of...
With only about a week to go, I feel like I'm facing dooms day. Before last week I was frequently forgetting my approaching birthday. So many thoughts at once consuming me, when did I have time to think about such an event? Besides, I'm too worried about what I'm going to do for the Snickerdoodle's...

Ivan Neville's funk band is fun- they've got two basses going through most of their set. Tony Hall (you might recognize him from the Trey Anastasio Band) even broke a bass string- you don't see that very often! From a cover of CCR's "Fortunate Son" to set closer "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf...

ATLANTA - James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73. Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and...
