It’s become an annual rite of passage in the music business. Every year, the trade papers are filled with stories about how this year was worse than last year. If the music execs were hoping we’d get so tired of reading that story that we’d start to ignore it — you know, ‘the boy who [...]

No, I’m not dead, but I have never been tired before. I can feel the sponge inside my skull being wrung in the hopes that some spillage will form an actual article of what I’ve been doing and listening to and the like. So far, that isn’t happening.
I have no creative energy, so I’ll just [...]

If I had called it a loose end, I’d have to start singing Springsteen and that’s not what I want to talk about right now.
Last week I went and saw Nick Moss & The Flip Tops here in Huntsville. I talked a little bit about that last week, but the BIGBOY writeup was published [...]

This one goes out to the ones who thought I only had love for Bruce Springsteen. Admit it. Some of you wondered if I could find anything or anyone to gush and obsess over the way I’ve obsessed and gushed over Bruce Springsteen. Sure, I went on about Dan Wilson or Glen [...]

I have a good feeling about this one… today, I mean. Yesterday was a shithole of a day. I’ve had worse, but yesterday just sucked out loud. I can count on one hand the number of good things that happened. By virtue of today not being yesterday, I’d have felt good [...]

My mind’s playing tricks on me. I can’t trace this one back to anything, but I woke up this morning singing “Secret Smile” by Semisonic (Feeling Strangely Fine). What’s funniest about that is I didn’t really know any of the words to the song other than the words “secret smile.” I only [...]

It took a hell of a lot longer to get this done than I wanted and it has put me further behind but I feel so much better now. I’ve finished the second part of my interview with Adam Duritz and you can read both parts over at BC Magazine (Part 1 and Part [...]

I am not going to bore you all with all the reasons I didn’t properly promote Dan Wilson’s appearance on the B-Sides Concept Album. Life intervened on what seemed like every different front and it just didn’t happen.
That said, Dan was on the show tonight and he was fantastic. He was insightful and [...]

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
I had planned to start ramping things up around here centered on my upcoming trip to Atlanta on Friday to see my very first Bruce Springsteen concert. That sad passing of “Phantom” Dan Federici, combined with my conversation with Adam Duritz, kind of halted that momentum.
Now I need [...]
