I’ve been thinking a lot about Steve Earle lately. He had a minor role on the Wire which I tore through over the last couple of months. He also played the theme song for that show during the last season, so I was seeing him as an actor and listening to him as […]

Attention to detail type people will have noticed that I have not yet spoken one word on the 2008 Beijing Olympics. There are reasons for this, and I shall now enunciate them. Truth be told I’m not much for sports of any kind. Sure I might play a pick-up game here and there when the […]

Last week I did a lot of intentional artist listening. Lord knows I’m a shuffler, but more and more I am getting back into listening to single albums at a time. I do love a good album. There is something spectacular about just the right sequencing, sounds, and movement of a great […]

It has been a long time since I posted a playlist. Several months ago last.fm stopped scrobbling my iPod and since I listen to music through my iPod a lot I figured the play list was pointless. Well I have finally got it scrobbling again, and here I am with another play list. […]

“Love and Marriage” - Frank Sinatra
From Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years
Download the MP3
Am I the only one who thinks of the old TV show Married…With Children, when I hear this song? That show, trashy as it was, became my introduction to Sinatra. I suspect I’m not the only one who found old blue eyes […]

For as long as I have been writing a blog, I have been doing concert reviews. In fact I am fairly certain I have reviewed every concert I have seen over the last three years, not counting city festivals and the like with unsigned artists. (Actually as I say this I just checked […]
