Confessions of a Fanboy

I stayed busy this weekend and for a change, all that activity has tangible results that please me. I got a lot of writing done, unfortunately it’s not writing for here. BC Magazine has agreed to feature Glen Phillips in our music section, so I’ve been putting together a lot of content for […]

One of the most painful sensations for me is to buy a new CD and fall in love with it while listening to it at work. Containing the excitement and joy can be excruciating. It’s sad to me that I’ll look around the room, dying to share my discovery with someone, and realizing […]

When people talk about the glass being half empty or half full, I like to tell people I just see a glass or ask them where the glass is. The truth is, I’m a “half-empty” sort. I wish I wasn’t. I don’t want to be, but I am. It’s very easy […]

I also spent some time chronicling a few of the memories associated with Glen/Toad music. It’s like pulling on that […]

Nothing has clicked for me today. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve listened to today, but none of it has really registered with my mood or state of mind. I hadn’t listened to Toad The Wet Sprocket’s Fear from beginning to end in far too long. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed revisiting Glen […]

I spent some time this afternoon writing about Vertical Horizon being one of the first “us” bands for TheGirlfriendI’veNowMarried and I (I’ve really got to stop with that longwinded way of referring to her), and it’s true. Vertical Horizon was one of the first. Toad the Wet Sprocket was the first.
