so, i was just listening to Skin Radio, and I – unexpectedly – heard the last lines of my own poem, Brotherly Love. Exciting? Yes, definitely. Then, after my poem finished, the station rolled into the next song — “Rain King,” by the Counting Crows. I dig the Counting Crows very much, [...]

I was definitely feelin’ the love from my ipod on Friday afternoon (I swear!) when it dealt out this splendiferous random ten… but I got pulled away from the computer too quickly to actually post the list.
Here it is, at long last:

“Last Hard Bible,” Kasey Chambers

“Pray Your Gods,” Toad the Wet Sprocket

“Sing for Absolution,” Muse

“Let’s [...]

Despite (or perhaps because of?) it’s inane lyrics and contrived catchiness, Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” lives comfortably atop my guilty pleasures list. (Admit it, you can’t help from singing along: You had a bad day, the cameras don’t lie….) But, although that song seemed to be all the Top 40 rage last summer, it [...]

Yeah, I took a week off. For no real reason other than laziness. But I’m back with a bang – and a big ole, surfin’ cow bang, at that.

2. “Eventually Rock,” Marah
3. “Good Morning Girl,” Journey

I’ve been slow with the blogging lately, for a few reasons — not the least of which is that I broke my glasses last week and still don’t have new ones. Although I’m using the Little Mister’s giant monitor and increasing my text sizes to something like 200%-300%, everything’s still a little fuzzy around [...]

…okay, I compiled this FRT on Friday, but things went a little crazy and I never got around to actually *posting* it. …Friday? …Monday? If time is only a construct of man, does it really matter when I post it?

2. Mountains O’ Things, Tracy Chapman [...]
