  • Conversations With Stephen

    Image via Wikipedia Stephen: Daddy, when you make my lunch can you make sure you put in a juice box or two? Me: I forgot? Sorry, buddy. What did you drink? Stephen: Nothing. Me: Nothing? All day? Stephen: No. I had some chocolate milk that I don’t like. Me: You don’t like chocolate milk? Stephen:…

  • Stuck In My Head – 9/2/10

    I have a small stack of CDs on the night table next to my bed. I haven’t heard any of them in a while, but for some reason this morning, I looked over, saw the soundtrack to Romeo+Juliet and immediately got this song stuck in my head.   This video is from the album version…

  • Soul Train Playlist 1

    In the Music section of Comcast On Demand, there is a selection called Soul Train Playlist #1. Here is the description: A medley of great performances including The Staple Singers, Freda Payne, The Chi-Lites, Joe Tex, Wilson Pickett, War, Ike & Tina Turner, Joe Simon, The Stylistics and Lou Rawls. I put my thoughts about…

  • The Song That Made Me A Johnny Cash Fan

    Most people who know me know that I am a big Johnny Cash fan. I prefer his older more rockabilly stuff but it is all good to me. However, the song that made me a Johnny Cash fan is NOT one of his songs, but rather a song by a band from New York called…

  • A Great Cover by Mates of State

    This is Mates of State covering “I Will Dare” by The Replacements. One of my favorite bands covering my favorite band. It rarely gets better than this for me. Mates Of State cover The Replacements   I wasn’t that familiar with The AV Club before this, but I think I will spend some time on…

  • Alicia Keys – Un-thinkable (I’m Ready)

    One of the unintended consequences of doing podcasts that focus on indie and unsigned artists is that I have an ever decreasing pool of knowledge of mainstream artists. That’s a shame because there are some people who I really like a lot but since I cannot play their music, it doesn’t make sense for me…

  • Sleepy Philosophy

    In the post-apocalyptic landscape of life, most people think they are Mad Max, when we are actually the Helicopter Guy.

  • This is a test…

    I tried to post this same video to YouTube but the sound was stripped out. This video loses a LOT of its appeal with no sound. I’m not sure why the sound was stripped out. [kaltura-widget uiconfid=”534″ entryid=”0_4dw05sla” width=”400″ height=”330″ addpermission=”” editpermission=”” /]

  • Quick Non Spoiler Review of ‘Lost: The End’

    Image via Wikipedia I thought the series finale of Lost was great. Exciting, touching, heartwrenching, and satisfying. For me, this ranks up there with the series finales of ‘Life On Mars (the original, I still haven’t seen the ending to the US series), The Shield, The Wire, Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse. In fact, it definitely…
