Okay, now I really want to hear Zenga! I’ve finished listening to The Painted Desert and that led me quickly to Earthspeaker. This is such amazing music. Moments like this remind me of what I deeply believe: great music is still being made today. Don’t let anyone tell you any [...]

I’m still listening to Barrett Martin and I’ve found another song title that feels aprapo of the day: “A Rumor of Rain.” 74% humidity! For fucks’ sake, open the sky and commence with the downpour. I can imagine God wringing out the air and like a washrag and the water falling. [...]

Another Saturday spent in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
What a long, strange trip it’s been this week. Aside from homefront anxieties, I experienced the insane and nightmarish odyssey of securing a black, 16GB 3G iPhone yesterday and I haven’t fully recovered from that. The reason I had the money for said purchase is [...]

I’ve been an unabashedly enthusiastic supporter of Barrett Martin’s music as well as the work he’s been doing with his Fast Horse Recordings label so I’ve never really needed an excuse to enthuse about his music but if the NY Times wants to give me one, I’ll play along.
Martin tunrs 41 today, so COAF wishes [...]

I haven’t finished the first sentence and I’m already afraid this is going to sound like some corny, cosmic New Age bullshit but I’ve had a musical experience and I am compelled to write about it. I hope it’s as compelling a read as it was to feel firsthand.
I started the morning with a [...]

I’m not often prone to Friday worship and I’ve been less so in 2008 as I’ve not actually had a day off all year. That said, it is Friday. Friday is different from Thursday, different from Saturday. Is it better? It may be but probably not. It’s just that. [...]

I woke up this morning with Queensryche’s “Anybody Listening?” in my head; I haven’t listened to Empire in ages so I don’t know where that came from. I dismissed the notion and listened to John Lee Hooker this morning, but “Anybody Listening?” was still lurking. I listened to it and went back [...]

I’m back at work again today, grinding out a few more dollars to pay for my music habit. The good news? Today’s tasks are fairly easy and monotonous. There is plenty of time to let my mind wander while still getting some needed work done. In fact, I’m listening to and [...]

I opened the program last night talking about the feeling of being a kid in a candy store. By the end of last night, I felt like I owned the fuckin’ candy store. In the 34+ years I’ve been circling the sun, last night goes down as one of the best nights of [...]
