More Glen Phillips Obsessing

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 […]

Who Will Save Your Soul? Not Jewel! Me!

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 […]

Reliving The Moment: Glen Phillips on the B-Sides Concept Album

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 […]

Worth The Wait: Glen Phillips Does The BSCA

I’ve been on about it all week and then when it was over it was better than I could have hoped for. Glen Phillips did in fact make his appearance on the B-Sides Concept Album program and he was a really great guest. He was really generous with his time and patient with […]

GLEN PHILLIPS DAY

It’s here! It’s finally here. Glen Phillips will be my guest tonight on the B-Sides Concept Album program. You can tune in and hear it live, tonight at 10 PM Eastern!
I have never been excited before.

Countdown to Glen Phillips, Day 3

I was pretty distracted yesterday, but I did manage to listen to a couple of Glen/Toad CDs in preparation for tomorrow’s interview with him on the BSCA. Man, I’m getting really excited about this.
I also spent some time chronicling a few of the memories associated with Glen/Toad music. It’s like pulling on that […]

Still Looking For That Sound: Toad The Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips, Black Keys, Portishead

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 […]

Countdown to Glen Phillips, Day 2

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.
Picture it: […]

Countdown to Glen Phillips, Day 1

It’s now finally close enough that I can begin the countdown to my interview with Glen Phillips on the B-Sides Concept Album this Thursday. So… if it’s a countdown, why am I starting with Day 1 and working my way up? Great question. The whole concept of whether to count today and […]

Toad The Wet Sprocket - “Silo Lullaby”

I’ve spent hours wandering through aisles of CDs, looking for something new to bring home. Inevitably my eye will be caught by an old or forgotten favorite. I’ll pick it up, hold it, and skim the tracklisting and smile as I think about favorite songs on that record and I’ll wish I could […]
