Concert Review: Patty Griffin - Indianapolis, IN - April 28, 2007

Traveling to Patty Grffin’s concert at the Vogue theatre in Indianapolis this past Saturday, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and my enthusiasm was not all that high. Truth was, I wasn’t overly familiar with her music. A friend, whose musical opinion I trust very much, is quite the fan of Ms. Griffin, but the […]

Dream: Grandma’s House And Nudity (Again)

Amy and I were staying at my uncles house, which used to be my grandma and papas.  There are two bedrooms upstairs and we were sleeping in the one I used to sleep in when I spent the night as a kid.
I woke up the next morning and went down to shower.  The house looked […]

The Hot Topic: Digital Vs. CDs Vs. Vinyl

If you’ve paid any attention to my rambling screed, you will have periodically (read: very rarely) noticed a little thing we like to call the Hot Topic.  You see, through my affiliation with Blog Critics Magazine, I’ve ran across all kinds of crazy, wonderful writers.  Some have even become what I’d consider to be friends.  […]

A Minor Ramble

I’m sorry I’ve been a little slow to blog this week. Work has been rather annoying which has put me in kind of a blah spot blogwise. I periodically get into a blog funk along the lines of ‘what’s the point of all this anyways?’ and ‘who would really give a rat’s fart […]

Plaster Casting: Ant Colony Edition

What is this, you ask? That is the nest of the Florida Harvester Ant. Scientists poured a type of plaster into the nests, creating a mold of the entire structure. “Cool” you say, and right you are. Click on the picture for the entire story, and for lots more pictures.

DVD Pick Of The Week: Planet Earth

Let’s not talk about last week and my faulty memory.  Instead let’s talk about how amazingly awesome I am for getting this week’s edition out on the actual day of new releases.
I’m so cool.  Really, really cool, is what I am.
This week is pretty groovy too in terms of new DVDs out.  Too bad I […]

Fresh Tracks - Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed And The Smiths

I think I’ve decided to talk about new disks when I get them, rather than in some weekly feature article.  It’s just too difficult to remember and enable myself to write most articles on a set schedule.  With any luck writing about the disks when I get them will actually let me write about all […]

Dreamin’ Songs Grudge Match: Willie Nelson Vs. The Romantics

I awoke about 5:30 this morning to the sound of my window blinds tapping up against the window due to an increased gust of wind, AND my need to urinate.  Blinds raised and urine urinated, I went back to bed singing Willie Nelson’s “Songbird.”  Being the perpetual blogger that I am, I immediately realized this […]

Fresh Tracks - Lyle Lovett, Mark Knofler, Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley, Carter Burwell

I know, I’m such a slacker with this piece. I actually do get new music almost every week, but I decided Friday was the day to write about it and I usually wind up doing other things besides blogging. It’s not that I have a life or anything, but the wife likes to […]
