What music fan hasn’t wasted hours combing through the contract riders of their favorite musicians over at The Smoking Gun? If you haven’t, hop to it. You can thank me later…
I bring this topic up because I may have just found the greatest contract rider of all time in an article that the [...]
Liz and I went and saw Trey Anastasio/Mike Gordon and the Benevento-Russo Duo last night at Northerly Island (thanks again, Mo, for watching Maggie). What a great show. It really renewed my faith in all things Phish. I also have to say that The Duo are unreal. Go download a [...]
I cannot think of a more fitting “song of the day” than what just finished playing on my iPod right before my phone just rang. Someday, I shall explain…
“Strange” by R.E.M. (off of the Document album)
There’s something strange going on tonight There’s something going on that’s not quite right Michael’s nervous and the lights are bright There’s [...]
I took full advantage of all of the musical instruments that are available to patrons of the Experience Music Project while attending the final party of Gnomedex 6. Here’s a short video of me on drums (Matt is playing guitar). First time drumming… yeah man.

I never heard anything more about it until a couple [...]
Friday night, Liz and I had a “date night”. Big deal, right? Well, I can count on one hand how many times just Liz and I have gone out since Maggie was born (15 months, now?)… And one of those times was to visit our accountant and have our taxes done, so [...]
this seems to a pretty fitting song lately. I have to say that it’s one of my favorite songs done live by Jeff Tweedy and/or Wilco.
“We’ve Been Had” by Uncle Tupelo (off the Anodyne album)
There’s a guitar leaning on a Marshall stack Used to sound like the sun on the horizon Now I think we’ve been [...]
Yes, I know they broke up years ago, but all I have to show for them is a sticker that came in the Uncle Tupelo Anthology cd a couple of years back.
I would love to have another sticker or two and even a t-shirt. Anyone know where the hell I can find one? [...]
I don’t know where I first heard of them, but I cannot get enough of the three songs they made available for download off of their website.
I’m hoping I get this cd for my birthday. :) Scratch that, I just saw that you can buy it on iTunes. That literally just happened [...]
red wine and listening to The Decemberists on a rainy night. For some reason that sounds really, really appealing. don’t know why, but it does.
I don’t know where that idea came from other than me listening to some Decemberists as we speak. yeah, i’m weird and it’s one of those days… :)
