Confessions of a Fanboy

Oh, I’m having the weirdest day. I felt like leftover ass yesterday and despite having gone to bed at a human time, I was three steps behind myself all fuckin’ day. I went home last night, took a nap, woke up and still felt a bit shit. We ate a crappy dinner [...]

The three most perfect female voices in the history of mankind are:

Etta James
tie: Norah Jones and Sarah McLachlan

I’m calling for a singoff for second between Norah and Sarah Mc. They could alternate; Norah sings one, Sarah follows. Even if I could come to a concrete decision on who should get the silver [...]

If I ever hear “What You Got” again, it might be too soon. The disco horns are awful and the vocal is not much better. I’d rather listen to an hour of his “primal scream” therapy songs or another self-indulgent “Yoko” song than listen to this one.

How’s this for weird for you? I listened to The Joshua Tree this morning (technically, I skipped “Bullet the Blue Sky” because I’m so tired of that song) after listening to Passengers. I listened to a few random tracks after that and then wound up listening to Machines of Loving Grace’s Concentration. [...]

After spending 90 odd minutes talking about U2 on the B-Sides Concept Album program the other night, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised I was overtaken by the urge to listen to them.
I just got done listening to Passengers again. If you’re not savvy to Passengers, you’re not alone. It’s a U2 album [...]

“You’re thinking maybe we ain’t that young anymore.”
It’s going to sound extraordinarily silly, but I understand that line tonight. I’ve been working some longer hours at the day job trying to meet some accelerated deadlines. The extra money is nice, but I feel a bit like a zombie.
I’d love to have the energy [...]

We have a winner (pronounced winn-ah) in yesterday’s retail therapy sesssion: Derek & The Dominos’ Layla…. Wow! What a great album! I never knew. I guess for some reason I allowed it in my head that it was “Layla” and some other songs to fill out the record. I [...]

Today, we shall make it a double! All right, so I missed yesterday’s campaign stop. We’ll blame it on the weather. Actually, that’s not completely illegitimate. We did have tornado watches and severe weather throughout the day. Tornadoes in January. Preposterous!
Anyroad, today’s campaign stop is going to be absent [...]

It’s pay day today and I played my favorite game of retail therapy. I’m actually not in a particularly bad place mentally, but the combination of a few dollars in my pocket and an incurable music addiction took control of me at lunch today.
While some people were out sucking down Quarter Pounders and wraps [...]

After all that “mood” music from earlier, I decided to liven things up and have a little fun. Gerry Hundt’s Since Way Back might be the most fun I had listening to a record last year.
Since Way Back can be appreciated on so many levels. It’s fun! The joy of [...]
