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 […]

Among the odd jobs I held in college was working for an answering service, 3rd shift, weekends. I used to wake tow truck drivers up in the dead of night to get them to go rescue stranded motorists or — and this actually happened more often — impound vehicles of suspected drunk drivers. […]

Magic Junk mad scientist Mark Sahm might be on to something here! A few weeks ago, Mark re-considered and re-compiled Nine Inch Nails’ instrumental record Ghosts I-IV into two separate soundtracks to an imaginary movie (best you let him explain it to you). What he did — and it’s brilliant — is spend […]

I guess I never got the memo. It must be Depressing Boston Music Day today because the only songs that seem to make sense to me at the moment are The Lemonheads and Pernice Brothers. I wonder why that is.
Maybe it’s because I’m at work on a sunny Sunday morning. Maybe it’s […]

I’m told it’s everything a man could want and I shouldn’t complain
The caffeine has failed me. I’m in a stupor. I’m in a daze. Fuuuuuuuck.
I’ve been productive at work but we’re fast approaching that threshold of diminishing returns. I’m now doing everything twice because the first attempt is undermined by my […]

I hadn’t planned on repeating my start to yesterday, but here we go again. The chaos has not yet begun, but I’ve already started with instrumental music.
Thomas Newman is an Oscar-nominated composer. The list of films he’s scored is extensive. I have two soundtrack albums of his music: American […]

“Come on, let’s get into character.”
This will come as no great surprise to any of you, but tonight’s BSCA is all about reliving the experience of seeing Bruce Springsteen for the first time. 11 should be able to join the fray tonight. It wasn’t his first show, but his expert piloting brought us […]

I almost wish it was logically and grammatically possible to modify the word “unique” with words like “most” or “very.” Listening to a record like Portishead’s Third makes you wonder if it isn’t possible to be the thing most unlike anything else in the universe. Of course this is silliness, but that’s the […]

It has become clear to me that I am operating on a higher plane than you mere mortals. Actually it has been clear to me for some time but it is even more obvious to me this morning. The voices in my head know the long wait for my first Bruce Springsteen show […]

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 […]
