Sometimes lost in the sparkling lights, jingle balls, and yule-tidings of the holiday season is the music. There is always such wonderful music this time of year. Christmas songs run happy, sad, hopeful, funny, rockin’, slow…
Every year, after waking up from the turkey-induced coma, I start listening to my standard Xmas [...]
I dig Busking. Buskers are street musicians or performers. Buskers are providing the service of entertainment. They are not begging for your change. It is unfortunate that they get associated with the transients that usually occupy the same spaces. And although they’re usually too frickin’ loud during my afternoon transfer in [...]
Neil Young you glorious bastard. He’s a Mountie. He’s a model train enthusiast. Oh and he’s written some of the best songs ever. And now Neil Young has a new little endeavor that can possibly change attitudes about internal combustion. The alpha Crazy Horse has started a company called Linc [...]

At the time I was experimenting with mood. [...]
The other day I was going through my CDs and came across Open Up and Say… Ahh! by Poison. I had some packing to do and decided to dust off this ‘88 gem. Give it a listen. After all, this was the record that made me want to be a rocker.
I wanted [...]
I watched the mini-series Tin Man this weekend. This is the Sci-Fi Channel’s “re-imagining” of The Wizard of Oz.
