How to sum up 2012 in a few words? “Genesis-obsessed” might take care of it with several characters to spare. A few interviews with former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett found me diving back into my love of the music of Genesis, moving deeper into the less-explored waters of the Peter Gabriel era. A September trip […]

Spinning vinyl: 38 Special – Tour De Force
This “being social in the real world” thing really cramps my blogging style! After my dinner last night with blogger/Clevo/Nashville buddy Kevin Mason, I was re-inspired and researching a future webcam purchase today. During lunch, I went to Best Buy to see a couple of the options in the flesh. I think I found (thanks […]
Spinning vinyl: The Go-Go’s
Winding down tonight after a busy day of work, and an evening of fellowship and food with Kevin Mason, I found myself back at home “spinning the black circle.” Tonight’s selections – the Mudcrutch Extended Play Live EP release that I just got in the mail, and after that, Talk Show by The Go-Go’s. Another […]
Scattered Musical Thoughts: GNR, Supermint and Dog Society
I couldn’t exactly think of a subject line that was completely appropriate, and the above seemed to at least cover it, although there are probably some that would argue (myself included!) that this blog is ALL about “scattered musical thoughts!” Anyway. Friday night, I got together with my buddy Corey for a long overdue hangout […]
Today’s scheduled activities
Going to Detroit to see Neil Young and Wilco at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I got a record company download of Neil’s new Sugar Mountain archival release that I’m not taking with me, but it will make for some good listening when I get back. It’s looking like we hopefully got most of the […]
Roy Orbison – The Last Concert (in Cleveland) – Itunes Exclusive Release
I can still remember picking up the morning paper as a kid, and reading that Roy Orbison had died. I cut the article out of the paper, and was stunned that one of my favorite artists was suddenly gone. I was a bit of a late comer to Orbison’s music and while I was aware […]
Adventures in going to the post office: Special failure edition
Dear readers, I hope this finds you well and stuffed full of Thanksgiving memories. Today, I officially began the beautiful thing that some like to refer to as a “four day weekend.” Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying to be semi-productive. For those of you that have been following the limited details of my […]
Speaking of Girl In A Coma…plus more GNR
That first official day of fierce in your face winter with lots of snow, snow, and more snow, accessorized with wind, really took it out of me yesterday. It was snowing pretty good as I left the west side yesterday morning to drive to the east side for work. While at work, it snowed all […]
I’m thinkin’ about Tonic
Any Tonic fans in the house? I’ve been listening to Tonic’s second album Sugar a lot this week. It’s probably my favorite from the three albums that they’ve done, (so far?) and I feel like they often got the short end of a stick as a band. Take a look at their three albums, and […]
