My Christmas Wish

I don’t know if your city has one of these, but here in Madison we have a radio station, WOLX, that plays Christmas music 24/7. It’s overkill if you ask me, but never mind, I can turn it off and I sure don’t want to be thought of as an enemy soldier in the War …

Our Trip To The Biker Bar

Did I tell you that My Darling B took me out to a biker bar last Friday? The kind of bar where each customer walks through the door with a look in his eye that tells you he’s picking out the first person to pick a fight with? No? Hmmmmm. Must have slipped my mind …

Feeling My Hall & Oates

I was forced to listen to Hall & Oates twice this evening. As if The Inscrutable Universe hasn’t already driven home the point in so many other ways already that life isn’t fair. The first time I was loading lumber onto a hand cart at the hardware store. I’d managed to get in through the …

Time for a musical break

I’d get in trouble with Kanye West for saying this, but these guys can do a better video version of a Beyonce song than Beyonce can. They call themselves Pomplamoose and they make a strange kind of music that I can’t stop humming. I love the way they cover Earth, Wind & Fire’s September: They …

Kiss My Grits

The song stuck in my head this morning is “New Girl In Town,” the theme song of Linda Lavin’s 1970′s sitcom Alice, a show I haven’t seen or thought of in nearly forty years.  Why the song popped into my head this morning as I towelled off after taking my shower is one of those …

This evening …

If Pandora, the free music web site that will play your favorite kind of songs based on examples you provide, is any indication, Steely Dan is essentially a unique genre of music. I asked it to play me some Steely Dan last weekend and it did, then threw in a couple Supertramp tunes and a …

House Painting and Other Drivel

While My Darling B was making dinner tonight I was at the top of a ladder slapping paint on the side of the house, not for very long, only maybe an hour, but that was long enough to paint all the back corner. At this rate, I ought to be able to finish painting the …
